Abstract

This research work aimed to studying the feasibility of a non-conventional energy system for “Colegio el bosque bilingüe UAN”, this in order to achieve savings and efficient use of it, which looks to involve the educational community of the institution to work proactively and jointly from different academic approaches, the project was divided into three stages.

The first stage included a diagnosis of the area of influence, which allowed the selection of the system that would adapt to the conditions and requirements of the project; the second stage consisted of the evaluation, modeling and simulation of the system using PVsyst software; in the third stage, the importance of this type of systems and how they contribute to sustainability, climate change and the reduction of the ecological footprint was socialized with the educational community using didactic tools.

Finally, by performing the modeling and simulation with which an annual savings of 16% of the total energy demand of the institution is achieved, this model is connected to the on-grid network, which significantly reduces costs, in addition to this, the base model is delivered to the institution, which allows to continue and supply the total demand of the educational institution in the future.
