Analysis and study of energy efficiency in the electric system of the millennium education schools “SUMAK YACHANA WASI of Imbabura Province in Ecuador

Abstract

This work was based on the energy consumption of the Millennium Education School SUMAK YACHANA WASI belonging to the province of Imbabura-Ecuador (UEM), the period 2017-2018 was taken into account like a reference, the data of electrical system was used to determine its demand, where it was evidenced that the highest energy consumption is the Lighting system. To obtain an improvement in the Electric system efficiency and specifically in the Lighting system, the replacement of fluorescent luminaires with LED technology luminaires is the best option. A financial analysis of the implementation was carried out, and the investment is recoverable, therefore, it is determined that the project is viable.
