(2017) Idrovo Acevedo, Pablo Javier; Romero Pacheco, Milton Ramiro; Sanango Fernández, Juan Bautista
At present, energy audits linked to the electric power systems, allow to improve the competitiveness of the production of goods and services, in industries, companies, commerce, public institutions, etc. Improving processes reduces costs by allowing a system to be efficient in its consumption of electrical energy. The main objective of the analysis is to evaluate in a technical and economic way the consumption of electrical energy and to determine the current conditions of the electrical system, with the purpose of suggesting proposals for improvement to guarantee a reliable electrical supply that complies with norms and Regulations that are established in the CONELEC004 / 01 for energy quality and other national and international standards or standards. The work performed seeks to diagnose the electrical system to create a database with information that contains electrical plans, load records, demand, voltages, currents, harmonics, flickers and power factor of the installations in the different blocks that make up the Irquis Farm Of the University of Cuenca, so that information can be obtained to make future improvements in order to take advantage of existing energy resources through a mechanism that reduces costs and is reflected in the electric bill. The results of the energy efficiency will allow to propose changes and implementations that must be made to the electrical system and the integration of wind energy in order to reduce the consumption of energy of the public network and to improve the indices of electrical quality.

Análisis de la distorsión armónica en la red de distribución de Centrosur debido a la conexión de generación distribuida
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2023-03-07) Lozado Bermeo, Alex Daniel; Guachichullca Bermeo, Diego Paúl; Sanango Fernández, Juan Bautista
It is important to analyze the harmonic behavior of the distribution network when connecting solar photovoltaic generation systems (PVS), since the connection of these systems can cause power quality problems in distribution system; therefore, this article presents the implementation of useful methods for harmonic analysis at the point of common coupling (PCC). The methods to be implemented use the product quality measurements performed by Empresa Eléctrica Regional Centro Sur - CENTROSUR. Initially, the harmonic impedance of the consumer and the utility is estimated in order to determine the harmonic contribution, before and after the connection of a PVS. Subsequently, the impact on voltage and current harmonics when a PVS is connected to the PCC is analyzed by simulations, for which an equivalent model representing the harmonic behavior of the load and the distribution network must be generated. For this, before connecting the PVS, it is necessary to calibrate the harmonic voltage of the utility model, contrasting the results of the simulations with the measured values. In the first instance, the harmonic state estimation (HSE) method is used, and then optimization algorithms are applied: simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation (SPSA) and genetic algorithms, so that the simulations represent the real state of the system, minimizing the difference between measurements and simulations.

(Universidad de Cuenca, 2023-07-26) López Bernal, Hugo David; Lozano Altamirano, Joselyn Paulina; Sanango Fernández, Juan Bautista
Stability is an important part of the studies that are carried out on Energy Systems due to the importance of knowing if the system is capable of returning to its equilibrium conditions after a disturbance has occurred, the objective of the analysis being to observe if network synchronism is lost in this multimachine model. The more generators, lines, loads, speed controllers, and voltage regulators enter the system, the complexity of the system increases and therefore a stability study becomes complicated to carry out with simple mathematical models, using computational tools for this purpose. The increasing insertion of renewable energies such as wind farms or photovoltaic plants in transmission, subtransmission and/or distribution systems leads to questioning whether the system's response to failures is modified and what degree of affect it would have. In this article, the analysis of angle stability in an electric power supply system is disclosed, the system under analysis is modeled with each of its elements and characteristics, this system model has the particularity of being modified with the incorporation of renewable energies; it focuses on the simulation of contingencies that allows the subtransmission system to be analyzed when renewable energy sources have not been incorporated into the network bars; and then, using the same contingencies, observe the behavior of the electrical system when renewable energy sources have been incorporated in some bars of the system.
Análisis de prefactibilidad para la implementación de un parque eólico en el sector Oropamba cantón Sevilla de Oro
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2022-09-14) Alcivar Peralta, Edison Andrés; Sanango Fernández, Juan Bautista
This is a titling project that analyzes the pre-feasibility for the implementation of a wind farm in the Oropamba sector in the Sevilla de Oro canton. The analysis seeks to incorporate the energy generated from the park into the distribution system of the Regional Centro Sur electricity company, through the application of distributed generation, so that in this way it contributes to the supply of local energy demand, taking into account current regulations. To successfully carry out this pre-feasibility analysis, 6 chapters were proposed, in the first one the context of the titling work is disclosed, in addition to establishing the objectives, scope, justification and background. In the second chapter, a conceptual framework was designed that covers different concepts, such as non-conventional renewable energies, wind energy, wind turbines, average wind speed levels and wind systems already built in the country, calculations applied to the field of wind turbines. Finally, an approach to distributed generation at the local level is presented through the use of renewable energies and the existing policies at the national level for its promotion. Subsequently, in the third chapter, an analysis of the wind resource profile was carried out with the data measured in situ through a Kestrel 5500 meteorological meter belonging to the University of Cuenca, and with the data obtained from satellite systems of the meteorological conditions of the sector with the NASA tool (POWER). In this case, data from the year 2020 were obtained and with the field and satellite information, a regression analysis was carried out and by identifying the cointegration of the stationary wind curves, an empirical model was proposed to correct the annual meteorological data. For the evaluation of the wind resource present on site and the determination of the existing potential, the respective calculations are made using a software tool called Wind Atlas Analysis and Application Program (WAsP) which allows the design and simulation of the wind system that is intended to be implemented. Once these data have been obtained, general aspects of the low-voltage electrical installation and the medium-voltage network, the corresponding grounding, and the evacuation of energy from the park via connection to the network through distributed generation are described (chapter 4). In addition, a preliminary costs analysis, calculations of the net present value (NPV), and the internal rate of return (IRR) of the implementation of the proposed wind generation systems are proposed (chapter 5). Finally, the conclusions and recommendations obtained throughout the development of the graduation project are presented.

Análisis del intercambio cooperativo de energía eléctrica adicionando restricciones en microredes eléctricas
(2017) León Vizhñay, Andrés Santiago; Lojano León, Andrés Patricio; Sanango Fernández, Juan Bautista
The Electric Distribution Systems are currently supplied by the large Electrical Substations, which are in charge of feeding the consumers through the distribution networks. Now, with the use of alternative energies (wind, photovoltaic, etc.), this system changed its structure to the so-called Smart Grid. This network has many benefits for supplying demand, as well as helping to strengthen the power system and reduce electrical losses. The great advantage of a Smart Grid is to have its generation in the vicinity of the load, which leads to find the best offer of each generating or selling company electric power. The algorithm considered the best location of the distributed generation, to be able to supply the demand and reduce the losses of energy. This investigation presents an alternative for the optimization of energy losses within a smart grid. It is intended that under the concept of Cooperative Games Theory; find an algorithm that helps to improve the exchange of electric energy, reduce losses in such exchange, as well as reduce costs. The Theory of Cooperative Games seeks to form the best group or coalition (seller, buyer) that the system requires to supply the demand at a reduced cost. With this, the user can consider which generation (photovoltaic, wind, hydro, etc.) to buy the energy and what benefit (reduction of losses and costs) have with that coalition.

(2019-10-15) Campoverde Campoverde, María José; Larco Barros, Ciro Mauricio; Sanango Fernández, Juan Bautista
The technological advance allows renewable energies (solar, wind, biomass, small-scale hydroelectric) to gain a position in the face of traditional energies and that natural resources be used in a better way and with an environmental awareness that allows the development of clean energy and Environment-friendly. With this perspective, this research work allows analyzing small-scale hydroelectric generation and in particular the hydro generation peak as an alternative to be implemented especially in natural or artificial water tributaries. The technical analysis that is developed seeks to identify the ideal characteristics that a water channel must have to extract the greatest power present in the mass of moving water, as well as the hydrokinetic peak-turbine that allows taking advantage of the resource to be obtained in an electric generator, the electrical energy necessary to supply a certain demand. Through the choice of the appropriate water channel and the turbine selected to obtain maximum power, examples are developed that allow visualizing the viability of the hydroelectric generation implementation, especially in areas where there are no electricity distribution networks.
Aplicación de algoritmos de agrupamiento para la optimización de tiempos de ejecución y eficiencia en algoritmos relacionados a problemas de planificación de sistemas de suministro de energía eléctrica
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2025-02-21) Cando Naula, Paúl Marcelo; Sanango Fernández, Juan Bautista
In the context of increasing electrical demand and the integration of new technologies, planners must adapt and optimize the grid to ensure efficient and reliable distribution. However, the complexity of so- lution methods used in electric power system planning (EPSP) at all stages can result in excessive execution times. To mitigate these challenges, this study presents a comparison of different clustering algorithms through an approach that restricts the number of groups based on a group weight limit. The evaluated algorithms include hierarchical, partitional, and density-based approaches. The methodology is applied to distribution expansion planning (DEP) at medium voltage and sub-transmission levels th- rough substation expansion planning (SEP), which employs a binary integer linear programming (BILP) model. Additionally, a partitional algorithm is used to address the problem of assigning load nodes to electrical infrastructures. For both contexts, synthetic case studies extracted from specialized literature are adopted. The results demonstrate that these size-restricted clustering techniques significantly opti- mize solution times by reducing the size of the input data set, usually composed of load nodes, through the application of technical criteria.
Auditoria energética y propuesta de actualización tecnológica a las plantas de trituración de piedra y planta de asfalto, propiedad de la constructora THOT ubicada en el cantón Catamayo – provincia de Loja
(2018) Enríquez López, Jorge Luis; Bermeo Iñiguez, Byron Alcívar; Sanango Fernández, Juan Bautista
Based on the premise of sustainable growth that allows a harmonious coexistence between society and the environment, an energy audit and proposal of technological update to the asphalt stone and silver crushing plants is proposed, of the construction company THOT Cia Ltda. located in the canton Catamayo province of Loja. The electrical equipment for maneuver, protection and electrical machines that contribute to the operation of the crushing plants and asphalt plant are old, so it is appropriate to evaluate the efficiency of the installed electrical systems. The driving forces for the equipment are driven by electric motors powered by turbo diesel generator sets. The energy audit process includes the collection of information, data analysis and decision making. This will be the initial information to determine the technical methodology in the energy consultancy to be applied and the subsequent technological update proposal that allows optimizing the production processes and the coordination of electrical protections under technical principles and job security.

(Univerisdad de Cuenca, 2023-05-24) Villegas Aldeán, María Belén; Trelles Lituma, Gabriela Marisol; Sanango Fernández, Juan Bautista
In order to determine the amount of distributed generation that can be accommodated in the medium voltage distribution feeders of EMPRESA ELÉCTRICA REGIONAL CENTRO SUR C.A. (CENTROSUR), a methodology is proposed to calculate the Photovoltaic Hosting Capacity (PVHC). This capacity is not a fixed calculation with a single result, but a range of values defined by; the grid input data, criteria and limits established in international standards and local regulations. Five analysis criteria are proposed to determine the PVHC of the feeder. The basis of analysis corresponds to a hybrid iterative and deterministic methodology based on time series analysis, which consists of a systematic procedure of insertion of Photovoltaic Systems (PVS) and verification of the electrical parameters of the grid; this is done through simulations using scripts developed in Python programming language; which will allow running power flow and short circuit simulations in the distribution systems analysis package; CYMDIST, of the CYME software. The simulations are performed with active generation quantities of the SFVs increasing at given steps up to a set limit subject to configuration. As results of the simulations, graphs are presented that identify SFV penetration safety zones, as well as minimum and maximum penetration levels for different installation scenarios.

(Universidad de Cuenca, 2024-09-25) Cárdenas Bravo, Jorge Enrique; Machuca Chabla, Pedro José; Sanango Fernández, Juan Bautista
In this academic paper a methodology for the estimation of the Hosting Capacity (HC) of Distributed Energy Resources (DER) for Photovoltaic Systems (SFVs) and Electric Vehicles (EVs) technologies in the medium and low voltage distribution networks of Empresa Eléctrica Regional Centro Sur C.A. (EERCS) is proposed and developed using the Open Distribution Simulator System (OpenDSS), an open access simulation system that allows easy replication of the methodology in future research. In this study, Python is used to: model in OpenDSS the distribution network represented in a Geographic Information System (GIS) based on graph theory, build random scenarios using the Monte Carlo method and develop a deterministic methodology based on time series for the calculation of the HC. Each executed process has sub-processes that must be verified to ensure the reliability of the HC estimation. These sub-processes are: error correction of the model represented in a GIS, the correct definition of the penetration scenarios and the limits for the electrical parameters that define the impact criteria according to the EERCS regulations, and the storage and representation of the results of the temporal simulations. The results obtained for each impact criterion are analyzed graphically with box plots, which through quartiles allow identifying the maximum, minimum, average and atypical values of the electrical parameters. Finally, based on the analysis of the results, the DER HC for the distribution network is defined as a percentage of penetration of Photovoltaic Systems (PVs) and Electric Vehicles (EVs) technologies.
Comparación de esquemas de protección en redes de medio voltaje utilizando simulación en tiempo real
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2025-09-24) Rodas Vélez, Augusto Orlando; Sanango Fernández, Juan Bautista
This thesis develops and validates a protection scheme for a medium-voltage feeder, implemented in a simulation environment using Simulink modeling tools and MATLAB programming. The main objective is to analyze the coordination between two widely used protection functions in power systems: differential protection (87) and time-overcurrent protection (51). The algorithms were designed with MATLAB Function blocks that reproduce the behavior of a physical relay, considering current transformations, trip logic, state memory, and operating times. The 51 protection was configured with standardized curves following IEC 60255-151 and IEEE C37.112-1996, including inverse, very inverse, extremely inverse, and ultra-inverse families. Using these curves, the system performance was evaluated under three-phase and single-phase-to-ground faults, verifying trip sequence and selectivity between primary and backup protections. The simulation includes an equivalent model of a typical Ecuadorian distribution feeder, adjusted to real operating conditions. Measurement and monitoring tools were incorporated to record actual operating times and compare them with teoretical values derived from each curve. Results confirm that the system maintains proper time coordination, validating the logic of selectivity, sensitivity, and reliability. This work strengthens the technical analysis applied to distribution network protection and establishes a basis for future real-time implementations through Hardware-in-the-Loop testing or experiments with physical relays in laboratory environments, aligned with the ongoing transition toward digital substations and intelligent protection systems.

(2018) Simbaña Pulupa, Geovanny Enrique; Apolo Armijos, Ronald Vicente; Sanango Fernández, Juan Bautista; Zeas García, Serafín Euclides
The Shushufindi Industrial Complex (CIS), with the purpose of improving the reliability, continuity and self-sufficiency of the electric power supply for the refining processes and not having dependence on the external network; plans to acquire a new generation unit with a rated capacity of 6.3 MW, which will be driven mechanically by means of a residual gas turbine as primary energy, which, for reasons of turbine efficiency and performance, will result in the generation of an effective maximum power of 5 MW. The input of this generation unit causes a change in the topology of the current network, so that the protection settings of each element within the system have to be readjusted. In this sense, the present project starts from the field survey of characteristics of the elements that make up the current network, as well as obtaining specific information about the equipment that will be part of the new system. For the modeling of the network, the use of a computational tool was chosen; where by simulations to different conditions of the system at maximum demand and steady state, the study of power flows and short circuits for possible faults in main bars was carried out in order to establish, according to the results obtained, an effective coordination of the protections considering the selectivity criteria and speed recommended by the regulations in force. Finally, the minimum technical characteristics of additional protection equipment of the new generation unit are determined.

(2015) Sanango Fernández, Juan Bautista; Samaniego Alvarado, Esteban Patricio
In a power distribution system all the power receiving an electrical substation, from power plants, it is distributed to customers who belong to the area of incidence of the Substation, incurring many cases power losses in conductors and inadequate levels quality and reliability of Electricity. The foregoing makes administrators of distribution networks develop models and techniques to find practical solutions to reduce technical losses of energy and raise their levels of quality and reliability. Distributed generation based on non-conventional energy sources (wind and solar farms, biomass generation, micro-hydro, etc.) and their integration into the Distribution Network has enabled mathematical models, such as the Theory of Cooperative Games, can be used to simulate energy cooperative exchanges. This work focuses on developing an algorithm that allows to use the Game Theory Cooperative Coalition of transferable utility as a tool to reduce energy losses in a distribution network, forming coalitions where every individual sees improved payment (decrease energy loss), leading to consumer benefits and satisfaction of using the available energy from generation sources. Micro Network of the future will be a distribution system designed as an intelligent network capable of operating, controlling and managing, in an automated manner, among its members, the efficient exchange of Electricity.

(Universidad de Cuenca, 2022-03-09) Paredes Cajamarca, Héctor Bayron; Tamayo Saquicela, Anghela Nicole; Sanango Fernández, Juan Bautista; Zambrano Asanza, Sergio Patricio
The importance of addressing the use of technological tools to solve problems facing society is becoming more and more evident. Among these problems is the determination of the electrification index, an indicator that allows measuring the level of access to electricity. In Ecuador, finding this metric is limited to census applications that are expensive and require a large number of staff. Thus, in the present work, Deep Learning was applied for the analysis of satellite images in the ArcGIS Pro software. The objective is to extract the traces of the houses in 18 parishes of the Cuenca canton as a representative sample of the rural concession area of the “Empresa Eléctrica Regional Centro Sur” (Centrosur). For this, it is proposed to work with Convolutional Neural Networks, using the Mask-RCNN model, obtaining results with an average precision of approximately 94% and an F1 Score of 84%. Finally, the metric corresponding to the electrification index is calculated and a comparison is made with the statistics provided by the “Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Censos” (INEC).

Estudio de prefactibilidad técnica y económica de la reconfiguración de un sistema de subtransmisión de energía eléctrica para reducción de pérdidas y regulación de voltaje: enfoque en un caso de estudio ecuatoriano
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2025-03-26) Guillén Sánchez, Christian Andrés; Vicuña Bustos, Francisco Javier; Sanango Fernández, Juan Bautista
This study analyzes the technical and economic feasibility of reconfiguring a subtransmission system, aimed at enhancing system reliability, reducing losses, and maintaining acceptable voltage levels under both normal operating conditions and contingencies. Tools such as DIgSILENT PowerFactory and Python were employed to develop an integrated model capable of evaluating the current system and projecting demand growth scenarios over a 10-year horizon. The methodology involves detailed power flow analysis, demand forecasting, and contingency simulations to assess the impact of subtransmission line outages. In this study, the term "reconfiguration" is broadly applied to include not only topological changes but also actions involving operational adjustments and, in some cases, the construction of new system elements. Based on the results, critical points are identified, and several alternatives are evaluated to select the most viable option in terms of technical and operational impact. Finally, operational and technical benefits are highlighted, justifying the required investment. This approach supports the development of a more reliable and efficient system, prepared to address the sustained growth in demand.

The company MALCA is an industry that generates its own electric power for sugarcane manufacturing processes. Part of the energy is transported to the field by distribution lines at a voltage level of 13.8 kV. The short circuits that occur in the field due mostly to the vegetation that grows below the lines and that cause contacts to ground, cause that these are not properly cleared by the protections (fuses) causing the short circuit currents to activate the circuit breaker principal that leads to the total disconnection of the system. The study of short circuits allows an adequate coordination of electrical protections; in this case the incorporation of a recloser to the head of the feeder with function 50/51 and also with synchronization capability. Towards the loads are considered to be protection means coordinated fuses disconnectors below the characteristic curve of the recloser. In the present work the calculations of the line impedances are made using a suitable software and using tables the impedance value of the distribution transformers and the generator to establish the maximum currents of short circuit, which allow the adjustment and coordination of protections. It is considered as an external power electrical system to the distribution system of the electric company modeled through its Thevenin equivalent in the respective bar of the system.

The present work shows a thermographic analysis carried out in the Electric Microgrid Laboratory of the University of Cuenca. Based on the equipment found in the laboratory, a thermographic inspection is carried out on each one of them to know their current status. The procedure to follow, the material and the instruments necessary to carry out thermographic inspections in the equipment that make up the Laboratory are detailed. A guide on how to perform thermography is also presented, considering factors such as ambient temperature and relative humidity, in order to perform a correction of values using the analysis software compatible with the handheld thermographic camera, which the laboratory has. An extra tool that was used was a drone with a thermal camera, to generally analyze the operation of the photovoltaic generation plant that the Microgrid has. All thermograms obtained during the inspection process are also displayed along with recommendations for future thermographic inspections. With which the presence of failures and the need to carry out this type of maintenance are verified, seeking not only to guarantee the quality and continuity of the service, but also the reduction of accidents, and significant savings in corrective maintenance costs.
