Diseño de un sistema solar fotovoltaico conectado a la red para disminuir el consumo energético en un Centro Comercial Península Santa Elena.

Abstract

Renewable energies are a self-sustainable solution to the global energy crisis, gradually reducing dependence on conventional thermal energy for electricity production and minimizing the environmental impact caused by combustion. Photovoltaic systems are part of distributed generation projects, introducing a new concept to the user and providing benefits thanks to their generation capacity that is injected into the electrical grid. The Terminal Terrestre Sumpa Shopping Center has an area of 3,309.23 m2, which makes the adaptation of a renewable system viable, with an average demand of 110KW. A photovoltaic system interconnected to the grid was proposed to reduce the electricity consumption bill. The proposed system was 236.04KW composed of 552 535W monocrystalline solar panels, 3 100KW industrial inverters connected in parallel with a capacity of 78.68%, which was connected to the main distribution board of the property and the reference budget of the project. . It was 265.234,31 dollars, which due to the benefits of the system has a return on investment in a period of 7 years.
