Estudio de factibilidad para la generación de energía eléctrica aprovechando la caída de agua que existe en la Estación de Bombeo El Carrizal- cantón Salcedo para abastecimiento de energía eléctrica a los motores eléctricos de dicha estación

Abstract

The objective of this technical project was to carry out a technical-economic study through the selection of the turbine and generator set for the pumping station El Carrizal canton Salcedo through the MUNICIPAL GAD OF THE CANTON SALCEDO, for which the facilities of the El Carrizal pumping station to obtain the parameters for the present study. In the first chapter, bibliographical references of various authors were reviewed and with this the parameters such as height and water flow essential for the selection of turbine and generator were established. For which it started from the supply point that the company has pumping station, measuring the flow levels that it has during the different seasons of the year, which allowed obtaining the maximum and minimum levels of water supply. The selection of the appropriate turbine and generator which was described in the second chapter, the types of turbines and generators and their classification that exist in the market which allowed to obtain the maximum power generated from the mini hydroelectric plant with a Francis turbine with a three-phase generator at 1800 rpm. For the economic analysis of feasibility, the costs of energy consumption were analyzed, which in the station have a consumption of 150 to 200 HP. They were used to supply electric motors connected to pumps with which they supply water to the population of Salcedo. All this energy consumption is accounted for as USD 60,000 of annual payments from the El Carrizal station. With the studies carried out, the investment in the turbine-generator set would come out at USD 140,000, which would be amortized over a period of 5 years with generation and maintenance of the turbine.
