Energy analysis for designing photovoltaic power plant in building of the faculty of mathematics

Abstract:

The man has not always used oil as a preferential source of energy. It is estimated that during the 6th century BC with the beginning of the Neolithic era, the man began to control and rationally use energy in agriculture, as well as the use of animals for work and food preparation. In the fourth and third centuries BC, the first major energy systems in history began, with the construction in the rainy areas of the Tigris, the Euphrates, and the Nile, of irrigation systems for crops. Around this same time, an elementary machine for the lifting of weights based on the lever principle (Rodríguez et al., 2012) was built. Electric power is undoubtedly the most widely used resource in the world, it is a technical element that is given a vital importance for social development, however the intensive use of fossil fuels (oil, gas, and coal), encourage depletion of its reserves, while polluting effects can be accumulated that put at stake the stability of life on Earth (Saltos et al., 2016). Between the 12th and 17th centuries, there was a strong demand for energy for the processing and preparation of metals, which considerably increased the demand for wood to be used as fuel. All this led to an inordinate advance in deforestation in many European regions. It is precisely in the seventeenth century, when as a result of mismanagement in the use of wood as fuel, there is an acute shortage of this resource in Western Europe, especially in the British Isles, where for the realization of industrial activities that are derived from thermal energy, had to start burning coal (Saltos et al., 2017). From the seventeenth century, the first industrial revolution began to develop, with the emergence of …
