Diseño de la instalación eléctrica de una electrolinera en la ciudad de Riobamba

Abstract

The present graduation project addressed the design of the electrical installation for an electric vehicle charging station intended for the city of Riobamba. The main focus was carried out through a thorough analysis of the electric vehicle charging system, highlighting the implementation of two charging points that ensured full autonomy for users. Consequently, the predominant electrical characteristics and different types of batteries used in electric vehicles were investigated, prioritizing the most commonly used model today. In the initial stage, the suitable locations for the installation of the charging station were identified based on careful analysis. The electrical parameters of the existing infrastructure at these locations served as the basis for the design of the charging points. The design process included the calculation of medium and low-voltage circuits, along with the corresponding protections, using an accurate load forecasting method. Terminology and definitions from highly relevant technical sources were used to guide the project's development. Once the theoretical calculations related to conductor sizing, transformer capacity, and total station demands were completed, the results were verified through simulation in MATLAB software, allowing for evaluation of behavior under various load conditions. It is of vital importance to emphasize that current electrical technical regulations were observed, playing a fundamental role in the implementation of short and long-term improvements, thus ensuring the functionality, safety, and efficiency of the project in both the short and long term.
