Simulación y automatización del control y operación de subestaciones eléctricas para los módulos del laboratorio de circuitos eléctricos de la universidad politécnica salesiana sede Guayaquil.

Abstract

Currently, the electrical engineering career of the Politecnica Salesiana University, Guayaquil Site, there are didactic modules to its disposal, to test the theory given by the professors in the classrooms, nevertheless there aren’t any modules to simulate real operational maneuvers to be performed on an automated electrical substation. Under this context, the following project has been developed, and is formed by a S7-1200 Simatic PLC, for the automation and control, for the communication, monitoring and commands a virtual substation (HMI) has been mirrored under the platform LabVIEW. The final objective of the project is to help students with the comprehension of the behavior of a substation, its control and let students analyze the operation maneuvers depending on the bus configuration. The expected result is to enable students to interact with a device that will help strengthen their theoretical knowledge and the instructors to enable through means of the laboratory practices the validation of the knowledge acquired by their students.
