Optima compensación de potencia reactiva en La Planta ASME (American Society Of Mechanical Engineer) de la empresa Sertecpet S.A. en la ciudad de Puerto Francisco de Orellana usando búsqueda exhaustiva

Abstract

This study analyzes the optimal reactive power compensation at the ASME plant of SERTECPET S.A., located in Puerto Francisco de Orellana, Ecuador. Using exhaustive search techniques and tools such as ETAP and MATLAB, the best location for an automatic capacitor bank was identified. The electrical demand and system performance under different operating conditions were evaluated in detail. The project managed to optimize energy efficiency, minimize operating costs and guarantee a more reliable electrical supply. In addition, improvements in voltage profiles, loss reductions and compliance with international quality standards were established. The results highlight the feasibility of integrating automatic capacitor banks as a key technical solution for industrial plants. The implementation of these compensation devices aims to offer a significant improvement in energy quality at the SERTECPET S.A. plant, aligning with international engineering standards and best industry practices, guaranteeing the well-being of people and company assets.
