Estudio técnico para el cambio de transformador de media tensión con proyección a largo plazo en el sector de vía La Costa

Abstract

This technical study aims to evaluate the condition of a medium-voltage transformer in the Vía La Costa sector to ensure its load capacity meets current and future electricity demand. The study focuses on guaranteeing service continuity, optimizing energy efficiency, and adhering to applicable technical standards. Operational data of the transformer under normal conditions were collected to provide critical insights for performance analysis. Using ETAP software, thermal and consumption scenarios were simulated to assess the transformer's operational limits and efficiency. The optimal capacity for a new medium-voltage transformer was calculated to address projected demand while meeting energy requirements and complying with technical regulations. Based on this analysis, a technical proposal was developed, recommending a transformer that enhances performance, improves energy efficiency, and supports the sector's anticipated growth. This research supports sustainable development in the local electrical system by delivering an efficient solution aligned with current regulations for medium-voltage infrastructure.
