Condiciones de pre-factibilidad técnica y financiera para la instalación y puesta en servicio de un sistema de medición de energía eléctrica en localidades de Buenaventura

Abstract

The Non-Interconnected Areas [ZNI] in Colombia are the municipalities, districts, towns and villages not connected to the National Interconnected System [SIN] of electricity; According to the characterization of the ZNI of the country (Superintendence of Public Home Services [SSPD], 2018: 5), these areas currently correspond to 51% of the national territory in a total of 70 municipalities with 1,697 coded locations. It should be noted that this information corresponds to the report of the providers of the electric power service in the ZNI, through the Single Information System [SUI] that is administered by the SSPD and responds to a coding process that has been advancing since the year 2017, in order to assign to each ZNI location a number that identifies it. The codification arose in response to a problem evidenced through the report of information made by the energy service providers and that is directly related to the low level of implementation of measurement systems in the ZNI with which to compare the reported information. In order to verify the provision of the service and the consumption of electricity in the NZZ, some tools have been developed for the acquisition of information through the National Monitoring Center [CNM], which is a mission area of ​​the National Planning Institute and Promotion of Energy Solutions for Non-Interconnected Areas [IPSE] which in turn is an entity attached to the Ministry of Mines and Energy, whose objective is among others to structure, promote, implement and monitor sustainable energy projects in order to to contribute to the access and improvement of the quality and continuity of the provision of energy services in the ZNI. Among the tools developed is the telemetry system, which is a remote measurement system and that according to the diagnosis (Superintendence of Public Home Services [SSPD], 2018: 30), by August 2018 it was present in 92 locations of the ZNI including the municipal headers, however, in the “TELEMETRY REPORT FOR THE MONTH OF JANUARY 2019” ([CNM], 2019: 4) only 80 locations were reported, representing less than 5% of the locations coded to date, generating a high degree of uncertainty in the verification of the provision of electric power service in these areas, resulting in non-compliance with the objectives of the state and inefficiency in the implementation of control and surveillance of the service Technical and Financial Pre-Feasibility Conditions for the Installation and Commissioning of An Electric Energy Measurement System in Buenaventura Locations provided, opening space to the risk of an inadequate allocation of resources, associated with the possibility that a percentage of these resources are not being received by users or are being received in an unrepresentative measure. Additionally, it is important to highlight the importance of measuring the electric power service in the [ZNI], since in this way it is possible to verify the conditions under which the service is provided (Quantity and quality) Thus, this project raises the conditions of technical and financial pre-feasibility of the implementation of a measurement system equivalent to a telemetry system, but at a lower cost, for the verification of the provision of electric power service in the ZNI locations in Colombia, through the monitoring of electrical variables.
