Diseño y construcción de un sistema para la corrección del factor de potencia enfocado a edificios inteligentes.

Abstract

This project proposed by the MEM research group, seeks to consolidate knowledge in power electronics on the correction of the power factor through the use of PWM switching techniques to decrease the consumption of electrical energy, in addition to disseminating said knowledge in the community academic. The research and development project seeks the construction of a modular system, which, when connected at the entrance of any electrical installation less than 15 kW, corrects the power factor, thus reducing electrical consumption and therefore the economic cost to the owner. , in addition to contributing to the preservation of natural resources. The developed module will also allow to consolidate knowledge about the system response according to the control technique used, comparing results and verifying which is the best strategy. The present project also becomes a contribution to the academy because it allows the acquisition of necessary materials for the provision of electronic laboratories and the opening of elective deepening lines in the Power and Energy nucleus.
