Modelo de eficiencia energética para la optimización en las rutas diferenciadas de recolección de desechos sólidos en el sector Centro Oriental de Machachi - Cantón Mejía

Abstract

This study presents a model of energy consumption for the transport of municipal solid waste (DSM), in the Mejia canton, on the collection route of the central-eastern sector of the Machachi parish, an energy consumption baseline was prepared, using the parameters established in the ISO 50001 standard, to quantify the amount of energy demanded in this activity, so a proposal was made to change routes. Through this proposal and the creation of a statistical model, energy savings are quantified, saving 19.59% for the route in km, saving 19.6% in fuel consumption, which corresponds to a reduction in 20% in the cost of collection. In addition, energy savings of 1301.35 kWh / year are obtained, which corresponds to an annual saving of 14.7%. With this model it was possible to quantify and identify the energy consumption in tons of fuel and with its density, the energy consumption index in kWh was identified and bringing it to kWh / year, we were able to quantify the annual savings, all this while maintaining the principle of energy efficiency that does not compromise the comfort of customers, which in this case are the households that benefit from the collection service. Through the analysis of the differentiated solid waste collection route in the Machachi parish, the parameters established in the ISO 50001 standard will be complied with, quantifying the amount of energy demanded in this activity and generating the proposed route change and energy saving.
