Estudio de factibilidad de un sistema solar fotovoltaico para dos departamentos ubicados en el centro de Guayaquil Edificio Escobedo.

Abstract

This research work focuses on the analysis of the technical, financial and economic feasibility of implementing a photovoltaic system in two residential apartments strategically located in downtown Guayaquil. This proposal emerges as a renewable, efficient and innovative energy solution to the current emerging electricity crisis facing Ecuador, which has resulted in prolonged power outages of up to twelve hours, significantly impacting the quality of life and production of citizens. This work also seeks to perform a comprehensive design of a photovoltaic solar system interconnected to the conventional electricity grid, including technical analysis and formulation for calculating the sizing and selectivity of the equipment to be used, in accordance with current regulations, laws, and conventions, supported by PVsyst software for an average annual energy consumption of 862.10 million kWh. The proposed 17.54 MWh/year hybrid photovoltaic system, with an efficiency of 83.54%, significantly reduces grid dependence, improves energy resilience, and promotes the use of renewable sources. This project can be used as a replicable option for other apartments within the same building or for residential buildings in the downtown area of Guayaquil.
