    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 de un sistema de abastecimiento de energía eléctrica con el uso de energías renovables como la solar en viviendas unifamiliares en la parroquia Atahualpa, cantón Ambato, provincia Tungurahua
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ingeniería Civil y Mecánica, Carrera de Ingeniería Civil, 2020-10) Quintana Vásconez, Roberto Sebastián; López Arboleda, Alex Gustavo
    This technical project has as main objective the calculation and dimensioning of an isolated photovoltaic system to supply electricity to single-family homes that have limited resources from the Atahualpa parish, Ambato canton. It is desired that with the development of this type of projects the population is encouraged to search for and implement renewable energies that contribute to stop the negative global impact that several traditional practices of electric power generation are causing. To determine the components of the isolated photovoltaic system, a survey was carried out on 54 low-income houses belonging to the aforementioned parish. Once the monthly energy consumption had been determined, the housing was classified according to what is established in the Tariff Schedule for electric distribution companies for the period January - December 2020, issued by the electricity regulation and control agency, thus obtaining 3 types of housing , including a type house called survey which presents an energy demand equal to 8.70 kilowatt hours per day. To size the components, it was necessary to obtain the total monthly average daily irradiation value on an inclined surface, for which the meteorological data exposed by different specialized software were used, the irradiation value obtained by the Lui and Jordan Method is 3,887 kilowatt hours. per square meter per day with a solar panel inclination equal to 10 degrees. The components calculated for the Survey House are as follows: 10 solar panels connected in parallel with a nominal power of 350 watts, 8 batteries connected in parallel with a nominal capacity of 150 amp hours, 1 voltage regulator capable of satisfying a current of input and output of 89.75 amps and 24.07 amps respectively, 1 inverter with continuous power of 1500 watts with the capacity to satisfy 520 watts. The results for said house are presented since it is the one that most closely matches the reality of the sector, the total cost of the isolated photovoltaic system includes general construction items, the value of the components of the isolated photovoltaic system, the metal support structure and labor is $ 9908.25
