Reducción del consumo de energía eléctrica residencial, mediante la aplicación de sistemas termo-solares para el calemtamiento de agua sanitaria en viviendas domiciliares en el cantón Cuenca

Abstract

The research was conducted in the canton of Cuenca during the period 2012-2013, hence the purpose of this thesis was the reduction of energy consumption of residential customers CENTROSUR in peak hours, used for heating residential domestic water by implementing thermal systems - solar. It was necessary to determine the current energy situation Ecuador , followed technical analysis was performed thermo -solar system most suitable for the canton of Cuenca , and the location and strategic implementation , once obtained these data we determined the study area residential customers CENTROSUR , for which it was necessary to locate the place with the highest population concentration area of study focusing on urban parishes in the canton of Cuenca , where surveys were conducted to estimate the energy consumption for water heating per family still a 30.27% the number of customers using electric shower compared to 69.73 % using LPG , these results were obtained with reduced power consumption and LPG and reduction of CO2 emissions , finally determined through economic analysis and financial feasibility of implementing this system , for which replacement scenarios created to be one of the most viable replacement solar thermal panels for gas heaters considering the 15kg LPG cylinder not subsidized.
