Resumen
El presente estudio tuvo como propósito evaluar la Prefactibilidad de Implementar un Sistema Fotovoltaico en la Planta Potabilizadora de Aguas Copanecas, ubicada en el Municipio de Copán Ruinas, Copán, con el fin de reducir los costos energéticos y mejorar la sostenibilidad financiera. La investigación se llevó a cabo con un enfoque cuantitativo con alcance descriptivo, mediante la aplicación de las metodologías de estudio de mercado, técnico y financiero haciendo uso de información histórica de los consumos energéticos, perfiles de carga y simulaciones en el software PVsyst. Dando como resultado un comportamiento relativamente estable en el consumo de energía, con una demanda continua de 20 kW a 30 kW, con un consumo del 45.5% durante el horario de 7:00 am a 5:00 pm y una energía anual proyectada del sistema fotovoltaico de 55,109 kWh. Por lo tanto, se concluyó que la Planta cuenta con condiciones favorables para la implementación del sistema, por lo que se desarrolló una propuesta de prefactibilidad financiera para evaluar la rentabilidad e inversión del proyecto.
This study aimed to evaluate the pre-feasibility of implementing a photovoltaic system at the Aguas Copanecas Water Treatment Plant, located in the municipality of Copán Ruinas, Copán, in order to reduce energy costs and improve financial sustainability. The research was conducted using a quantitative approach with a descriptive scope, applying market, technical, and financial study methodologies and utilizing historical energy consumption data, load profiles, and simulations using PVsyst software. The results showed relatively stable energy consumption, with a continuous demand of 20 kW to 30 kW, 45.5% of consumption occurring between 7:00 am and 5:00 pm, and a projected annual energy output of 55,109 kWh for the photovoltaic system. Therefore, it was concluded that the plant has favorable conditions for the system's implementation, and a financial pre-feasibility proposal was developed to evaluate the project's profitability and investment.
