Estudio de factibilidad técnica y económica para la implementación de un sistema fotovoltaico conectado a la red en la planta cazaderos, ubicada en la ciudad de Piñas

Abstract

Currently, companies seek innovation and the implementation of sustainable alternatives in their production processes to comply with regulations, add competitive advantages, and contribute to their communities. This research focuses on evaluating the technical and economic feasibility of implementing a grid-connected photovoltaic system at the Cazaderos plant in Piñas. Through a comprehensive analysis, various aspects are investigated, starting with a detailed examination of the current situation of the plant, including its production processes and energy demand. Subsequently, an exhaustive technical analysis is carried out, assessing the availability of solar resources in the region, the infrastructure for the installation of solar panels, and possible optimizations to maximize energy efficiency. Additionally, a thorough economic analysis is conducted, covering everything from initial investment costs to projected revenues derived from the sale of excess energy to the power grid. The results obtained indicate that the plant has favorable solar resources and an adequate area for the installation of panels, and that the project is financially profitable over time. In conclusion, this study provides solid evidence that the implementation of the photovoltaic system at the Cazaderos plant is a viable and beneficial measure, not only from a technical and economic standpoint, but also in terms of environmental sustainability and contribution to sustainable development goals.
