Sistema de alumbrado público aplicado mediante energía renovable para la Comuna Masa 2, Golfo de Guayaquil

Abstract

The objective of this study was to design a ring-type public lighting system using renewable energy applied in the Masa 2 community to illuminate the quay of the commune. For the development of this research, visits were made to the community and the application of surveys to its inhabitants to determine their electricity consumption needs, as well as the type of energy source they currently use. From this analysis and taking into consideration factors such as the characteristics and dimensions of the terrain, simulations were carried out to determine the lighting efficiency and the feasibility of installing the lighting system powered by renewable energy. Finally, together with the Salesian Polytechnic University, public lighting poles are delivered with a ring-type photovoltaic system that runs all the way that makes up the Masa 2 community, thus guaranteeing lighting and safety for its habitants.
