Ítem Acceso Abierto Evaluación del rendimiento de la bomba de calor alimentada por energía fotovoltaica para el calentamiento de agua(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Loayza Román , Mario Francisco; Siguencia Siguenza, Oscar Mauricio; 0706330628This study assessed the thermal and energy performance of a photovoltaic-powered heat pump system for domestic water heating in a residential home. The system sizing considered the demand for domestic hot water (DHW), the energy consumption of the heat pump, and the photovoltaic generation capacity. In addition, the system’s efficiency and economic viability were analyzed using indicators such as the Net Present Value (NPV) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR). The methodology included the collection of data on DHW consumption through a survey and the characterization of the solar resource. System components, such as the heat pump, storage tanks, and photovoltaic system, were also selected and sized. MATLAB simulations were used to analyze the thermal behavior of the tanks as well as the daily and annual energy variability. Finally, the economic viability was assessed by considering the initial investment, operating costs, and electricity savings. The results showed that the photovoltaic system can cover the demand of the heat pump and generate surpluses in certain months, which were partially used to supply the building's energy load. However, the economic viability indicators, NPV and IRR, were not favorable.Ítem Acceso Abierto Prototipo para determinar fallas de funcionamiento en luminarias Led de alumbrado público(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Guanuche Largo, Edison Jonathan; Siguencia Siguenza, Oscar Mauricio; 0705714012This research project aims to design and develop a remote management prototype to detect malfunctions in LED streetlights, optimize maintenance tasks, reduce operating costs, and enhance energy efficiency. To this end, a functional prototype was built following the steps established in the methodology. It integrates measurement sensors, microcontrollers, and a Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) communication module, enabling real-time monitoring of key electrical variables, including voltage, current, power, power factor, and energy consumption. Data is stored and visualized through the Ubidots platform. At the same time, GSM communication facilitates the transmission of automatic alerts and daily status reports on the luminaires. Furthermore, the results demonstrated that the developed system provides high accuracy in measuring electrical parameters, and is capable of efficiently detecting and reporting various simulated faults, such as power outages, voltage drops, surges, current drops, and abnormal energy consumption. This study demonstrates that implementing this system could significantly contribute to the modernization of electrical infrastructure, promoting the concept of smart cities and the efficient use of electrical energy.Ítem Acceso Abierto Prueba automatizada de impacto (IK) de luminarias(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Cuenca Romero, Elian Marcel; Siguencia Siguenza, Oscar Mauricio; 0706942778The design of an automated prototype for impact testing of luminaires aims to improve the accuracy and efficiency of these tests, which are essential for assessing the resistance and durability of lighting products. The research addresses the need to replace manual testing with an automated system that reduces the margin of error and optimizes resources. This work facilitates the implementation of international standards in lighting laboratories, thus improving product quality and safety. In addition, it enables the automatic detection of cracks after impact through the use of digital cameras, reducing costs and increasing the reliability of the results. The overall objective is to design and verify an automated prototype for IK testing of luminaires through an experimental study conducted in test laboratories. The results are expected to confirm its effectiveness and provide valuable data for future implementations. The prototype, based on IEC 62262 standard, demonstrated its effectiveness by integrating an image analysis system in MATLAB, enabling real-time damage identification and ensuring consistency with international standards.
