Estudio de pre-factibilidad para la integración de generación fotovoltaica en el alimentador S-0427 dentro del complejo hidroeléctrico Machángara por parte de la Empresa Electro Generadora del Austro ELECAUSTRO S.A.

Abstract

This thesis shows the pre-feasibility analysis prepared in covenant with the Company Empresa Electro Generadora del Austro. This analysis is applied to the Complejo Hidroeléctrico Machángara where areas with sufficient properties for the integration of photovoltaic designs were determined through exploration. In addition, pre-feasibility level designs corresponding to each area are made for technical and economic evaluation. From the establishment of useful areas for photovoltaic generation and different alternatives of technical design at the prefeasibility level, the technical analysis and economic analysis are carried out under different financing scenarios. As a result, the necessary approximate budget, the average cost of energy production and the existence of pre-feasibility for the delimited sector are obtained. Finally, the existence of technical and economic pre-feasibility for the integration of photovoltaic generation for the Saucay, Dutasay and Labrado sectors was determined. Result obtained by determining the financing and technical design scenario that offers the highest cost-benefit ratio corresponding to each area.
