Diseño de un sistema de generación fotovoltaica para el edificio del Gobierno Autónomo Descentralizado Municipal de Francisco de Orellana en base a la normativa ecuatoriana vigente

Abstract

In this project, the planning and design of a solar system that will generate electricity and will be connected to the distribution network will be carried out. The same that will be implemented in the facilities belonging to the Municipal GAD of Francisco De Orellana, located on its property in the city of El Coca, where, due to the high values in the billing corresponding to the consumption of electrical energy, it is decided to find a way to reduce the amount of billing, so a photovoltaic solar generation system connected to the distribution network is implemented, thus promoting production of green energies. Where, to carry out the dimensioning of the photovoltaic generation system, which is determined based on an analysis of energy consumption, using the billing history of the last two years, which was provided by CNEL - EP Sucumbios. The design process involves the following stages: first, the evaluation of the installation site, the calculation of the usable solar energy and the dimensioning of all the equipment of the photovoltaic solar system. The calculations will be made from the sizing formulas and with the use of the PV*SOL software which provides the graphs and calculations for a correct sizing, resulting in the installation of 168 photovoltaic solar panels which have a maximum power of 410 W, together with 9 investors who are part of the same photovoltaic generation system that generates 68.8 kWp, thus contributing 21.1% to the total electricity consumption of the Francisco de Orellana GAD. Finally, the values corresponding to the NPV and IRR were calculated to corroborate the viability of the project. The economic analysis shows that the project is profitable from year 12, that is, the investment is recovered since the value of the NPV becomes positive. In addition, the IRR at the end of the project is positive, therefore, the project is acceptable since the profitability is greater than the minimum profitability required.
