Diseño de un sistema de energía fotovoltaica para la Empresa OSC Tecoms & Security Solutions S.A.S.

Abstract

This project deals with the design of a photovoltaic energy generation system for the essential loads facilities of the company OSC Telecoms & Security Solutions located in Bogotá. The company works in the operation and maintenance activities of telecommunications networks and one of its greatest bets today is energy efficiency for better business sustainability. The initial stage consists of the collection of certain input data for the dimensioning of a photovoltaic system such as the index of solar radiation at the project location, the average of maximum and minimum temperatures, the demand for electrical energy from the main headquarters of the company, the essential loads of the company, the space available for the installation of the system and the nominal capacity of the transformer to which the connection would be made. Based on data, the design of three solutions that contemplate different scenarios within the company's headquarters is carried out: A hybrid photovoltaic system that supports the datacenter UPS, a hybrid photovoltaic system for lighting the headquarters. of the company and a photovoltaic system connected to the network that supports the energy consumption of the main headquarters of the company. Once the designs for each scenario have been made, the most suitable and most convenient power generation system is selected to evaluate the feasibility of its implementation. A theoretical projection to 25 years is carried out to determine the financial viability of each project, aspects such as the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and the Benefit-Cost relationship will allow selecting the most optimal solution for the company both in the technical field and in the financial sphere. Finally, a series of recommendations and conclusions are made based on the results obtained.
