A Photovoltaic Renewable Energy as an Alternative to the Conventional Diesel System to Pump Water in Shrimp Farms of Ecuador

摘要

Pumping is one of the main processes in the production of shrimp. This process is linked to a high consumption of diesel, therefore to the generation of CO₂. The present project is aimed at the technical-financial study of the implementation of photovoltaic energy for the feeding of pumps. To mitigate the effects of the production of CO₂ emissions. The system analyzed has seven cameras that require pumps of 235 HP and 550 HP, which represents a high energy consumption. In this way, the economic and environmental viability of replacing the energy of the same with a clean energy system will be discussed.
