Estudio de la calidad de energía y rediseño del sistema eléctrico de la planta de cacaos finos ecuatorianos Cafiesa

Abstract

The present project developed in the cacao processing plant "CAFIESA" located in the highway Duran-Tambo, where there wasn’t information about the electrical system that could allow us to have a reliable view in the corrective decisions or future extensions. An information survey was processed, using the descriptive method that determines the current state of the plant and take into account the main problems, the results were compiled in order to prepare the single-core diagrams of the main boards, the updating of the plans for the location of the main electrical components. With the measurements made in the main transformers, we could verified the conditions of the power quality of the plant. Parallel with the ETAP software's, they were made simulations of the system, managing to present scenarios of improvements specifying the changes that must be fulfilled in order to achieve an optimal and efficient model of electrical energy. As a general conclusion, within the plant after the evaluation process it is necessary to correct the electrical system, have a more reliable service, and once again obtain a better performance of the equipment that is related to electric power.
