Evaluación técnica y económica de un sistema eléctrico y térmico sustentable en zonas residenciales utilizando energía solar

Abstract

In the present work, thermal and photovoltaic systems that can be considered as sustainable alternatives to conventional heating systems in residential buildings were analyzed. The case study corresponds to a single-family house in the city of Cuenca, province of Azuay. The research began with the collection of climatological data provided by the meteorological station of the Salesian Polytechnic University and the satellite station Nasa Power. For the sizing of the systems, the architectural characteristics of the house, heating, domestic hot water (DHW) and isolated photovoltaic solar system connected to the grid were detailed, as an alternative for distributed generation and with this the thermal and electrical calculations necessary for sustainable systems are made. Finally, an economic evaluation of the systems used is presented to know their feasibility of implementation and their level of profitability at the residential level.
