Análisis de calidad de energía mediante un medidor Sentron Pac 4200 para controlar magnitudes eléctricas y ahorro energético en Papelera Nacional.

Abstract

The main objective of this research is to analyze the quality of energy using a Sentron Pac 4200 meter to control electrical magnitudes and energy savings in Papelera Nacional S.A., which seeks to optimize energy performance, identify inefficiencies and propose solutions to improve operational efficiency and energy savings in the company's substation 7. Furthermore, the study was guided by a mixed approach methodology, that is, qualitative and quantitative, of a descriptive type. The techniques used were bibliography and internal documentary review and direct observation. The required instruments were based on the power quality recording sheet and the Sentron Pac 4200 meter that allowed obtaining the data to measure them. The results come from measurements made with the Sentron PAC 4200 meter and the FLUKE 435 energy analyzer over eight days. Voltage variations, voltage unbalance, frequency, harmonics and system chargeability are evaluated. These indicate compliance with regulations such as EN 50160 and IEEE519, with a loadability of 82% at substation 7. The conclusions reveal that the implementation of the Sentron PAC 4200 meter has been fundamental in identifying and addressing areas of energy inefficiency, significantly improving the performance of equipment and processes. It is worth mentioning that due to the contribution of the continuous analysis of electrical magnitudes, informed decisions have been made that have led to greater operational efficiency and the reduction of energy losses.
