| dc.description.abstract | This research work evaluates a photovoltaic control system based on the solar irradiation rates of
Huachi Grande neighborhood “Nueva Vida”, for the automation of an irrigation system that is
based on scientific, analytical and synthesis methodology. The analysis of the meteorological
history provides by the INAMHI was made, referring to Querochaca station of Cevallos (Huachi
Grande) canton of Tungurahua province, the analyzed data correspond to the years 2016 and 2017
and they are of solar radiation, humidity, temperature, sun hours, among others. With the acquired
data, the calculation method for dimensioning the photovoltaic stations is applied, obtaining the
quantitative values of solar insolation (2,7KW/m
xvii
2
/day), latitude and longitude (-1.3190 -78.6419)
respectively, of Huachi Grande sector, Nueva Vida Neighborhood: which measures 1320 Watios
of consumption and calculates the number of solar panels, inverter, regulator and batteries needed
to start the water pump, in order to irrigate an area of 500 m
2
of land. The test carried out in the
system already implemented, allow analyzing the data of voltages of the solar panels at different
angles of inclination, concluding that the best use of the system is achieved with an inclination of
11,31
0
with respect to the horizontal and looking towards the magnetic north. The system is
dimensioning and designed to work 2 days a week, for 3 hours continuously pumping water from
the reservoir tank to the land. Also it has 3 hours of energy reserve in its batteries. Huachi Grande
area is optimal for the implementation of photovoltaic system,by the irradiation present in this
sector, this feature makes photovoltaic systems a viable and ecological solution, generating
renewable energy with high efficiency, with moderate installation costs, reducing the
environmental impact; taking into account that the project has a social vision, due to the area is
mostly inhabited by low-income communities and its population is dedicated to livestock and
agriculture, especially the cultivation of fruits. | |
