Prototipo de un sistema electrónico para el ahorro de energía eléctrica en una vivienda rural usando energía solar con alimentación en corriente continua

Abstract

This research work presents the development of an electronic system for the generation of electrical energy in a rural houssing with direct current power, through the use of photovoltaic solar energy as a renewable source. To carry out this project, different electronic devices are used, among which the solar panel that is used to capture photons and generate electricity, the Arduino Mega 2560 electronic card which is in charge of controlling the entire system and the battery system. to provide the service at night or when there is little solar irradiation. Through the design of an electronic system, with a power meter, the loads that were connected to the lighting system were determined, whose information is presented on a digital screen; All this system based on programming algorithms, which help in the determination of voltage and electrical current, with the option of accessing the conventional electrical network in case the battery is not sufficiently charged. The results of this work allow the operation and implementation of the system to facilitate access to electricity in remote areas, where the cost of implementing the public service is high for sectors of the population with low economic resources, thus demonstrating that the new technologies that take advantage of the solar resource are useful, in this case with the application in the entire lighting system of the home, with future scalability options to increase services and improve the quality of life of the population.
