Dimensioning, Design and Simulation of a Self-sustaining Photovoltaic Energy System to Power the Water Quality Monitoring Equipment of the Burgay River - Ecuador

Abstract:

This project shows the methodology for the design and implementation of an isolated photovoltaic energy system to power low consumption equipment, a specific case of monitoring physical variables. The methodology consists of the characterization of the site, the calculation of the energy demand, the design of the photovoltaic system and its implementation. The PVsyst software is used as the main tool to generate the simulations and obtain the results. The final objective of the project is to obtain the adequate parameters for the choice of the components of the photovoltaic system (photovoltaic panel, controller, battery). In addition, this article will serve as a tutorial for researchers who wish to generate similar projects.
