Identificar las pérdidas de energía en transformadores de zonas comerciales de la Ciudad de Cúcuta.

Abstract

This project aims to reduce energy losses, based on the analysis of information from transformers in commercial areas in the city of Cúcuta, where it seeks to prescribe the main causes of energy losses presented in the transformers, since it is necessary to monitor the energy supplied in these areas to avoid manipulation and bad energy practices [1]. For this purpose, an analysis of the information is carried out, taking into account the Technical Losses and NonTechnical Losses of the Network Operator (R.O.) CENS. Technical losses are a reflection of the state and electrical installations, which depend on the degree of optimization of the electrical system; non-technical losses are divided into two, special or difficult to manage zones and manageable zones. For the special or difficult to manage zones, the possibility of being able to carry out the recommended actions is ruled out, since it may present a risk to personnel; for the manageable zones, the recommendations made can be carried out since their management may have a greater impact on energy recovery [2]. It should be noted that it is the responsibility of the Network Operator (R.O.) to assign codes to the circuits, transformers and users of its network; as well as to keep updated the linking of new users to the network in order to guarantee a good service [3]. The information analysis is based on identifying, classifying, selecting and processing the data set of the transformers in these zones, with the support of Excel software, thanks to its friendly interface and the tools incorporated in it, data processing is facilitated, where the information can be segmented, formulas applied, matrices and graphs created, which allows compiling the information in order to prescribe or suggest actions to help reduce energy losses in these zones.
