Estudio de un sistema de energía solar fotovoltaica para la empresa camaronera Lanec situada en Engunga provincia de Santa Elena.

Abstract

Renewable energies are a self-sustaining solution to the global energy crisis, gradually decreasing the use of thermal energy for electrical use and minimizing the environmental impact produced by combustion. Photovoltaic systems are considered part of distributed generation projects, adapting a new concept to the user and generating benefits from their generation capacity injected into the grid. The project seeks to demonstrate the feasibility of a photovoltaic system in the Lamec shrimp farm in the province of Santa Elena. For this research, chapter I details the objectives proposed for them. The content of this research is divided into 5 chapters, where chapter II details the state of the art and criteria corresponding to renewable energy and components of a photovoltaic system, chapter III carries out a diagnosis of the consumption of the project and its meteorological variables where the generation capacity of said shrimp farm is 624 kW power and its average solar incidence of 4.5 kW/ m2, chapter IV carried out the theoretical sizing and using the Pvsyst 7.2 software. where two generators were sized with a capacity of 607 kWp and annual consumption of 2 x 890 kWh, finally chapter V carried out a technical-economic study, where it is evident that with an initial investment of $1,253,353.83 in a period of 5 years there was a return on investment evidencing a positive flow and a profit of 416%.
