Diseño de Sistemas Fotovoltaicos para generación de energia eléctrica en viviendas tipo unifamiliar para la Comunidad Indigena Wayúu Walashima del Municipio de Maicao - la Guajira.

Abstract

The Modern Architecture Builder, aims to contribute to the population of the Wayuú indigenous communities, in this case, the Walashimana community requested the formulation of a housing project, which will benefit about 70 - 100 people, with the construction of 7 houses. In order to fulfill this objective requested by the community, four meetings were held to identify the pressing needs that the publication considered should be met by the design of the house, this with the purpose of creating multiple types of similarities to your lifestyle and cultural environment. As part of the team, I was directed the objective of guaranteeing the permanent supply of electrical energy for the homes, to give fulfillment to this identify the different shortcomings that were presented in the community, the most fundamental being the lack of connection with the conventional electrical power system due to the difficulty of access to the community due to the typography of the land, the long distances between the communities located in the rural area and the municipal seat. As a second instance, the population was characterized in order to identify the electronic and electrical consumer devices that they have or plan to acquire at some point, it should be noted that the majority of indigenous people do not have degrees, Thus, the work they do tends to be very poorly paid. After identifying that the solution to the supply of electrical energy to the home is by an off-grid photovoltaic system with storage, it is taken to calculate the size of the same, that taking into account the technical guidelines indicated by the UPME. The size of the photovoltaic system consists of calculations of the number of solar panels, minimum calculation of the inverter, the economic analysis of the system per house, and another more automatic alternative of the system.
