Diseño técnico económico para una red soterrada de medio y bajo voltaje del alimentador Ingahurco ubicado en el cantón Ambato-Tungurahua, basado en la regulación ARCERNNR 02-2020

Abstract

This document addresses the undertaking of a technical-economic project to transition the overhead network located in the parish of Ingahurco-Ambato to an underground network. This is due to the city's undergrounding plan, as parts of the city have already undergone this transition to an underground system, such as the areas of Ficoa, Miraflores, La Dolorosa, among others. During the execution of this project, it was observed that the current overhead network presents greater disadvantages compared to the underground network with which it is planned to be replaced. A comprehensive technical study was conducted, which includes the location of the transformer chambers with the assistance of Kmeans in Python, the network layout in AutoCAD, power flow runs for both overhead and underground networks in the CYMDIST software, and the sizing of transformers using the Rural Electrification Area (REA) with data from ArcGis of the Ambato Electric Company. For the economic study, the budget for the underground network was prepared to provide an exact amount of how much it will cost the Ambato Electric Company (EEASA) to implement the entire underground network for the parish of Ingahurco-Ambato.
