APLICACIÓN DE LA GESTIÓN TECNOLÓGICA A PROYECTOS HIDROMETEOROLÓGICOS: DETECCIÓN Y REGISTRO DE TORMENTAS ELÉCTRICAS

Abstract

This thesis work presents the analysis of some technology management models and its possible applications to hydrometeorological projects in those issues related to the technological developments. In the specific case considered here the objective is the improvement of the monitoring system that carries out in real time the atmospheric discharges monitoring in a geographical information system, in order to modernize the technical infrastructure of the National Electric System. The areas under consideration are mainly those of Generation, Transmission and Distribution of Electricity belonging to the Mexican Comisión Federal de Electricidad, in compliance with the company’s regulations aimed to increase the efficiency of these areas by the proper and opportune supply of the electric energy service. By reducing the damages caused by electric storms it is expected to assure an efficient and dependable service for all users and customers. A technical and economical analysis of the various technologies available in the market for the monitoring of electrical discharges is presented in order to select the most convenient one for our case according with its characteristics. Then a proposal is made of a pilot project consisting of four detecting stations, along with the analysis of the innovative products to be generated and the ways and terms of investment recovery.
