Desarrollo e implementación de solución de telemetría, en la empresa de distribución eléctrica de Guayaquil, para la reducción de pérdidas

Abstract

This paper presents the technological actions taken to face the growing problem of electrical losses in our country and especially in the city of Guayaquil. This drawback in our country was very severe, and in the midst of that severity, there was an electric distribution company in particular that, in 2004 , concentrated 30.72 % of total losses. This work, performed in the electric power distribution company of Guayaquil, was a technological challenge, especially because in the country, was the first effort that was made for, with advanced technology, to attack this problem. It was decided to work with a single model of electric meters: Alpha Plus 2, which allowed conceive the idea to develop in our country, a communication board that can be installed inside of the meters. This risky idea finally made possible the implementation and sustainability of the project. The challenge is not only watching tech stocks, but also the coordination of many areas inside and outside companies such as Telecom Ecuador, Conecel and Barrick. Finally, we were able to successfully implement the project and most importantly introducing a culture of power telemetry in the country that continues to these days.
