Optimization of the use and Exploitation of the Water Resource of the Catchments of the 'Hydroelectric Power Plant Ing. Carlos Mora Carrion' located in the Canton of Zamora

摘要

The Ing. Carlos Mora Carrion Hydroelectric Plant is part of the group of Ecuadorian power plants that contribute to the energy transition planned with a view to decarbonization, whose availability of water resources exceeds current generation, wasting the flow for nine months, therefore, it is determined a problem caused by lack of infrastructure which makes it impossible to take advantage of all the water resources for the generation of electricity, this directly affects the growing population of the canton Zamora, because hydroelectric generation can be better used since it is even cheaper than thermal generation. This research presents a solution for the effective use of the Power Plant under analysis and in this way contribute to increasing production levels and prolonging the useful life of the Power Plant contributing to the current national plan of Ecuador.
