Abstract
El presente estudio está enfocado en una auditoría energética detallada del bloque 17 de la I.U Pascual Bravo, utilizando una metodología de análisis de eficiencia energética aplicada a instalaciones industriales. El objetivo principal es evaluar el consumo energético de los equipos de soldadura y de la infraestructura eléctrica asociada para proponer mejoras en eficiencia, alineadas con los estándares internacionales de gestión de energía (ISO 50001 e ISO 50002).
Para el análisis, se realizaron mediciones directas de voltaje, corriente, potencia activa y reactiva en la acometida principal del bloque, mediante un medidor multifuncional y un gateway de comunicación compatible con Modbus RTU. Además, se inspeccionaron las variables de calidad de la energía, como el factor de potencia.
El análisis de cargas mostró que los equipos de soldadura, junto con los extractores de humo y el compresor de tornillos, representan la mayor proporción del consumo energético. Los resultados indican que el bloque 17 podría lograr una reducción significativa en los costos operativos y mejorar su sostenibilidad mediante la implementación de correcciones de factor de potencia, optimización en los ciclos de uso de los equipos y la incorporación de tecnologías de ahorro energético.
Abstract The present study is focused on a detailed energy audit of Block 17 of the I.U. Pascual Bravo, using an energy efficiency analysis methodology applied to industrial facilities. The main objective is to evaluate the energy consumption of the welding equipment and the associated electrical infrastructure in order to propose efficiency improvements, aligned with international energy management standards (ISO 50001 and ISO 50002). For the analysis, direct measurements of voltage, current, active and reactive power were made on the main supply of the block, using a multifunctional meter and a Modbus RTU-compatible communication gateway. In addition, power quality variables, such as power factor, were inspected. The load analysis showed that the welding equipment, together with the fume extractors and the screw compressor, account for the largest proportion of energy consumption. The results indicate that Block 17 could achieve a significant reduction in operating costs and improve its sustainability by implementing power factor corrections, optimizing equipment use cycles, and incorporating energy saving technologies.
