Dimensionamiento óptimo de una electrolinera aislada para la agencia Sangolquí de la EEQ., basado en recursos distribuidos

Abstract

Ecuador faces energy problems due to low water levels caused by the El Niño phenomenon, which limits generation at large hydroelectric power plants and affects supply to industries and users. In response to this situation, the implementation of photovoltaic (PV) systems is being proposed as an alternative, allowing for self-sufficiency and integration with charging stations for electric vehicles (EV). These systems include both slow and fast charging, and are complemented by battery banks that ensure the storage and continuous supply of energy, even in conditions isolated from the grid. Empresa Eléctrica Quito seeks to promote electromobility through charging stations at strategic locations, with universal chargers and a focus on reducing pollutant emissions and optimizing cost-benefit. The proposal includes the design, sizing, and analysis of a photovoltaic system with batteries for EV charging, considering aspects of location, compatibility, maintenance, and monitoring to ensure the viability and sustainability of the project. Finally, a simulation was carried out using PV SOL software to evaluate the technical and economic performance of the solution, confirming the feasibility of having charging stations based on renewable energies to strengthen the transition towards cleaner and more efficient mobility.
