Análisis para la penalización por bajo factor de potencia a grandes clientes con tarifa industrial en bajo y medio voltaje en la provincia de Orellana

Abstract

The present work considers the penalty for the low power factor of the industrial subscribers of the province of Orellana. The correction of the power factor leads to a better use of electrical energy, so this project was dedicated to the analysis of subscribers who have to correct the power factor, until reaching a nominal value of 0.92. Initially there is a brief introduction of the basic concepts of power, of some techniques that are used for the correction of the power factor, as well as the benefits or economic charges that are due to a high or low power factor, respectively. Then, in another chapter it is observed how the coverage of the electric service has been increasing, a summary of the province of Orellana and the concession of the CNEL. Also, the characteristics of the subtransmission lines, the transformers of each substation with their feeders. Finally, we present a summary table with all the subscribers that have a power factor less than 0.92, the reactive power supply for the correction and an economic analysis of the value of their penalty for having a lower power factor.
