Diseño de un sistema fotovoltaico para la Universidad Politécnica Salesiana Sede Guayaquil bloque F de 50 KW

Abstract

This work seeks to develop a 50kW photovoltaic system for Block F of the Salesiana Polytechnic University, at the Guayaquil headquarters, using the PVsyst software. The purpose of the project design is to reduce the use of conventional electrical energy in the institution, promoting environmental sustainability. This study ranges from the evaluation of the technical and economic feasibility of the project to the selection and sizing of the system components, ensuring that safety regulations and standards are met. Furthermore, this project stands out as a model of sustainability, demonstrating that investments in clean energy not only provide ecological benefits, but are also economically viable. Through the calculation of the loads, the determination of the dimensions of the spaces, and the sizing of the photovoltaic system, the necessary data is collected, which is then compared with the results obtained through simulations in specialized programs. With the results of this project, it is expected that the implementation of the photovoltaic system will not only considerably reduce the university's carbon footprint, but will also act as an educational tool, promoting greater environmental awareness and responsibility among students and academic staff. In addition, regulatory and safety aspects are considered to ensure that the proposed design complies with national and international standards applicable to this type of facilities. From the calculations and simulations carried out, it is concluded that energy consumption is reduced by 84.96%, which represents a saving of 68,118 kWh/year. The initial investment was [investment amount], with an estimated payback period of 4 years.
