Artistic Creations Supplied by Renewable Energy Located in the Most Attractive Mountains of Azuay. Case Study: Cultural Heritage of Quingeo

Abstract:

The purpose of this research is focused on carrying out the design, modeling and simulation of a photovoltaic system and then implement it in the image of the Virgin Mary in the Curiquinga hill of the Quingeo Parish, Cuenca canton, Azuay province. For the feasibility analysis, data taken by the meteorological station located in said sector was processed, which consists of solar radiation and existing temperature during a period of one year. Subsequently, a mathematical model was built to perform simulations with MATLAB for different input values that allow the design of a photovoltaic system that covers the electricity demand. The simulations are carried out in different operating conditions of the photovoltaic system and then compared with the experimental results, reaching the conclusion that we have favorable conditions for the production of electrical energy in Quingeo through this isolated photovoltaic system that drives tourism in the region. Given the fervent Catholicism in the sector, it is possible to contribute to the maintenance of this religious culture through this project.
