Diseño y simulación de una compuerta plana para apertura y cierre automático alimentada con energía solar

Abstract

The need for a distribution water system for communities that belong to Cayambe – Pedro Moncayo has been analyzed. The implementation of an automatic system with its respective power source, in one or more flat gates, is intended to optimize its operation for the water distribution through canals. To achieve this objective, the working conditions of the mechanical system and the frequency of use will be assessed and calculated; due to the lack of electric power, it cannot be automated, consequently the photovoltaic system has been designed to provide energy, and control the automatic opening-closing of said gates. The main project-objective is to offer an alternative system that replaces manual operation by optimizing resources in the distribution of water through the irrigation canal. As a result, this project was determined viable, since renewable energy is being used, its design reaches standards and offers results for the good use of the mechanical and photovoltaic system.
