    Diseño e instalación de un sistema fotovoltaico para una vivienda unifamiliar en la parroquia Viche, provincia Esmeraldas
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ingeniería Civil y Mecánica, Carrera de Ingeniería Mecánica, 2024-08) Loor Naranjo, Steven Manuel; Mayorga Pardo, Alex Santiago
    On the "Mi Quinta" farm, located in the parish of Viche, province of Esmeraldas, the remoteness of the national electricity grid makes it unfeasible to install electricity. This situation is common in rural areas of the coast, where the high installation costs and the environmental impact of felling trees for the power lines generate an urgent need for alternative energy sources. The existing problems on the farm have led to consider the use of renewable energies as a viable solution to supply energy needs. This project focused on designing and installing a photovoltaic system for a single-family house on the farm. First, the energy needs of the house were assessed to ensure that the system would provide sufficient energy for the daily use of appliances and lighting. Then, the components of the PV system were carefully selected to ensure efficiency and durability, and installation proceeded, ensuring that all elements worked together optimally and that the solar panels were properly oriented to maximize solar energy collection. The results indicate that the PV system ensures a reliable and efficient energy supply for the "Mi Quinta" house. This project significantly addresses the rural energy problem, providing a long-term sustainable and cost-effective solution. Six-monthly monitoring and the use of MPPT charge controllers are recommended to optimize the efficiency and durability of the system, as well as the periodic revision of the battery bank to avoid total discharges, especially on consecutive cloudy days.

    Diseño e implementación de un sistema de generación de energía eléctrica mediante celdas fotovoltaicas ubicada en las riveras del río Payamino de la ciudad del Coca para la empresa Orellana Turismo EP
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ingeniería Civil y Mecánica, Carrera de Ingeniería Mecánica, 2021-09) Viera Andi, Jonathan Andrés; Mayorga Pardo, Alex Santiago
    The present technical project was applied for a house-building room of the Yasuniland Park in Coca city in order to provide energy to the place and to reduce the use of an electric generator avoiding air pollution with carbon dioxide and noise in nature. This project took into account the factors that affect photovoltaic installations such as the existing solar radiation in the area, which was taken from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL); and with the energy demand that the house has calculated the number of solar panels, the number of batteries and the type of regulator and inverter, in addition fuses were added to avoid short circuits which will provide greater security to the equipment. For this system a connection was designed in parallel with the solar panels and batteries, which increased the potential and obtained greater capacity of energy accumulation, which was regulated by the use of a solar controller, which allowed a system voltage of 12V. Finally, it was tested in 3 specific days: sunny, partially cloudy and cloudy, with a certain load value. Under these conditions, voltages, amperages and power were measured at the input and output of the solar regulator, achieving the behavior of the consumption of the batteries and ensuring that the photovoltaic system is functioning correctly

    Diseño de un aerogenerador de baja potencia en la comunidad de Río Blanco, provincia de Tungurahua
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ingeniería Civil y Mecánica. Carrera de Ingeniería Mecánica, 2017-08) Aguilar Castro, Cristóbal Andrés; Mayorga Pardo, Alex Santiago
    The present technical project consists of the design of a low-power wind turbine for the supply of single-phase AC power for a house located in the Río Blanco Community, from Ambato, Tungurahua province. Based on the demand study, made on the local wind power and estimated consumption, a useful power of 178 W was established as design parameters which corresponds to a micro-wind system, other parameters are a design speed of 12.63 m/s, NACA 4412 aerodynamic profiles with three blades, a length of 1.30 m. each one, and built of wood laurel, operating height to 11m. through the use of a folding tower, additionally a permanent magnet generator, an acid lead battery, and an inverter that converts the voltage from 12 V DC to 110 V AC were incorporated. The main components of the wind turbine are the blades, the electric generator, the orientation system, the support tower, the inverter, and the batteries or accumulators. This wind turbine allows meeting the basic energy needs of a local family and represents an important contribution to the development of the community, taking into consideration the living conditions of the beneficiaries, who do not have stable economic income and do not have an energy supply from public network.

    Diseño y simulación de un sistema fotovoltaico para la obtención de una certificación leed en la categoría de energía y atmósfera para la empresa Solinfra de la ciudad de Quito
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ingeniería Civil y Mecánica. Carrera de Ingeniería Mecánica, 2017-07) Robalino Peñaloza, Daniel Alejandro; Paucar Samaniego, Mayra Alejandra
    The present technical project is based on the design and simulation of a Photovoltaic System to obtain a LEED certification in the Energy and Atmosphere category for the company SOLINFRA of the city of Quito. This system consists of 12 photovoltaic panels connected to each other, 8 in series and 4 in parallel, to meet the demand for basic lighting of the company which is 2374.75 W in the worst case, with a solar inclined solar radiation of 202, 78 W / m2 (March), taking advantage of the energy from the sun and converting it into electrical energy, thus optimizing economic resources and reducing energy consumption, generating a commitment to the environment and society. It includes a numerical simulation of the system, to obtain power graphs in the worst-case scenario and obtain the power curves at the output of the photovoltaic panel and inverter. An economic analysis determines the investment cost of the project at $ 18,251.91 dollars, with a three-month investment recovery in one month, considering that the energy generated by this project will be sold to the National Interconnected System of Ecuador, demonstrating the feasibility of the proposal.

    Adaptación de un Buggy con motor de combustión interna a un sistema eléctrico
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ingeniería Civil y Mecánica. Carrera de Ingeniería Mecánica, 2017) Ortiz Medrano, Edison David; Pérez Salinas, Cristian Fabián
    The following technical project is related about adaptation an electrical system to a tourist buggy, which had an internal combustion engine by origin, which electrical mechanical components were performed in the chassis of the Buggy. As a result, the use of new energies for transportation and technological innovations were reached. To reduce the pollution in the environment, noise, and the easy maintenance facility. It has been started from a chassis, and through the appropriate studies and analysis, was settle the components and their selection for the conversion of the Buggy which is driven by an electric engine. This one consists of a battery bank, a controller, and an electric engine of direct current (DC). Consequently, it was developed in two parts such as the mechanical and electrical. In the mechanical checking was based on the transmission system in the design and construction of the support for the electric engine as well as the gears and the chain previously calculated. In addition, the electrical part was based on the connections between the engine, batteries and controller which are linked by the correct operation. In conclusion, the Buggy operating system is developed by accelerating the pedal which is linked to a potentiometer which sends the signal to the controller and this one by a certain logic reaching that the engine turns more or less revolutions depending on the desire of the user. Additionally, the controller has other features such as reversing motor rotation and regeneration of energy; It means that it takes advantage of the rotation of the motor to charge the batteries when this one works like a generator, with sensors that warn when the speed is reduced (braking). The performance tests performed succeed obtaining a safe handling for the user achieving a maximum speed of 48 km / h on straight roads with an autonomy of 22 km.
