Propuesta de modernización del sistema eléctrico de la Lancha Guardacostas “Isla Española” y la automatización de circuitos.

Abstract

The present curricular integration work focuses on the proposal to modernize and automate the electrical system of the coast guard vessel "Isla Española" to optimize the performance and increase the safety of the crew members during the patrols performed in the ocean. The information on the power demand of the navigation devices and the steering system is gathered, and the errors presented by the components are identified and the hypothesis is suggested that the automation of the electrical systems will improve the safety of the vessel by reducing errors and unscheduled stops due to power failures. The design aims to increase the reliability and performance of the vessel, in addition to decreasing replacement costs and preserving energy and the environment. The analysis made in this study uses the synthetic procedure for the collection of various manifestations that have occurred in the navigation unit, and the deductive method for the investigation during the navigation of the unit.
