Facultad de Ingeniería
La Facultad de Ingeniería, a inicios de los años 60, mediante resolución del Honorable Consejo Universitario, se formalizó la Facultad de Ingeniería de la Universidad de Cuenca, conformada por las escuelas de Ingeniería Civil y Topografía. Esta nueva estructura permitió una mayor especialización y fortalecimiento en áreas clave para el desarrollo regional. Cuenta con programas académicos reconocidos internacionalmente, que promueven y lideran actividades de investigación. Aplica un modelo educativo centrado en el estudiante y con procesos de mejora continua. Establece como prioridad una educación integra, la formación humanística es parte del programa de estudios que complementa a la sólida preparación científico-técnica. Las actividades culturales pertenecen a un programa permanente y activo al interior de nuestras dependencias, a la par de proyectos que desde el alumnado y bajo la supervisión de docentes cumplen con servicios de apoyo a nivel local y regional; promoviendo así una vinculación estrecha con la comunidad.

    Blade stress monitoring in a small wind turbine by using Arduino microcontroller
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019) Mejía Mayancela, Carlos Eduardo; Salazar Llivisaca, Christian Mateo; Minchala Ávila, Luis Ismael; Gonzalez Morales, Luis Gerardo; González Redrován, Javier
    This work presents the design and development of a remote monitoring system for the blades' strain in a small wind turbine (SWT). The monitoring system allows real-time transmission of the stress to a remote client which processes the information in order to suggest further control actions to guarantee a reliable wind turbine operation. Experimental results show an increased axial strain of the blade when the rotational speed of the wind turbine is increased. Additionally, an efficient transmission of the stress measurements is achieved by two communication approaches (wired and wireless) to a remote station, which logs and processes the information.

    Electrical energy conversion system design with single-phase inverter and H5 transformerless topology
    (UNIVERSIDAD DE ANTIOQUIA, 2014-01-01) Colina Morles, Eliezer; Sempertegui Alvarez, Rodrigo Efrain; Vanegas Peralta, Pablo Fernando; Gonzalez Morales, Luis Gerardo
    This paper presents the design of an electrical energy conversion system (EECS) for the use of solar energy and its conditioning for injection of energy to the commercial power grid. A single-phase full-bridge inverter with transformerless H5 topology coupled to an LCL filter is used. The system is identified using an averaged small-signal state space model; while the used cascade control scheme is tuned by pole placement and includes a maximum power disturb-observe tracking type algorithm of that increases efficiency by operating the system at the optimum operating point of the solar panel. This design describes essential technical aspects in the components sizing and selection for experimental development, as well as the control structure design for a good performance to face systems perturbations.

    Energy efficiency of an electric vehicle in a Latin American intermediate city
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018) Gonzalez Morales, Luis Gerardo; Espinoza Abad, Juan Leonardo; Gonzalez Morales, Luis Gerardo
    This study analyzes the behavior of the energy efficiency of an Electric Vehicle (EV) in Cuenca (Ecuador), a Latin American intermediate city, considering factors such as orography of the route as well as traffic conditions that include three field routes with urban, mixed, and high-speed characteristics. Three laboratory-driving cycle tests were carried out Federal Test Procedure (FTP-75), National Emission Ceiling Directive (NEDC) and Worldwide harmonized Light vehicles Test Procedures (WLTP). In the six environments, the performance was analyzed from mechanical and electrical variables obtained through a communication system under the On-Board Diagnostics II (OBD2) standard that incorporates the vehicle. The data of each sample contains 154 variables of interest, which are then analyzed by correlation to obtain those that affect the energy performance of the EV. With this information, the efficiency in the …

    Micro grid laboratory as a tool for research on non-conventional energy sources in Ecuador
    (IEEE, 2018) Espinoza Abad, Juan Leonardo; Sempertegui Álvarez, Rodrigo Efraín; Gonzalez Morales, Luis Gerardo; Gonzalez Morales, Luis Gerardo
    This article presents to the scientific community technical and management issues taken into account for the implementation of the Micro Grid Laboratory, which will be part of “Balzay” Scientific, Technological and Research Center of the University of Cuenca. The paper describes the components that integrate the generation, storage and consumption of electrical energy from a combination of renewable and non-renewable sources that allow the emulation of a distributed generation network with the possibility of establishing technical criteria to recreate an intelligent network (Smart grid). The generation, storage and consumption components of the laboratory can interact through a control, monitoring and data acquisition system (SCADA) that allows automation of energy management for teaching and research purposes, as well as the possibility of interconnection with the local grid.
