Estudio para el mejoramiento de la calidad de energía mediante la instalación de un banco de reguladores de voltaje en el Alimentador Anconcito de la S/E San Vicente de 10/12.5MVA, ubicada en la Provincia de Santa Elena, Cantón La Libertad.

Abstract

The installation of voltage regulators in medium voltage networks is an important measure to guarantee the stability and quality of the electrical supply. These devices not only increase the voltage level, but also protect users considered as large customers and their connected equipment from voltage variations and contribute significantly to quality control by providing a comprehensive solution to the challenges of voltage fluctuations in CNEL Santa Elena distribution networks. By collecting these data, the necessary information was collected to solve the need for the installation of medium voltage regulators in the feeder called ANCONCITO, corresponding to the 10 to 12MVA distribution reduction substation that bears the name of SAN VICENTE and that It is located in the Canton of La Libertad, Province of Santa Elena. This study provides as a solution to voltage problems, the installation of a voltage regulator bank of 300AMP and 414KVA capacity to improve voltage levels, improve power quality indicators according to Regulation No. ARCERNNR 002/ 20 and reduce the cases presented by low voltage developments in both home and industrial users; Taking into account that the Anconcito feeder has an approximate length of 17.2km in its trunk, built with AAAC 4/0 aluminum conductor, the study carried out using the CYME software establishes the advantages of connecting the bank of regulators and the improvements when managing a 10%+ of the voltage value at the installation point with the bank's star connection, which translates into service improvements in compliance with the provisions of the Regulation
