We present the analysis of the selection of electric generator suitable for Pico-Hydro Power Plant in the Ambato-Huachi-Pelileo irrigation channel in Ecuador. For which a meticulous literary review has been carried out about the main characteristics of the Pico-Hydro Power Plant as it is the height, the hydric resource, the turbine and the generator. Considering the water resource, which in our case is provided by the Ambato-Huachi-Pelileo irrigation channel, the parameters of low height and slow speed have been taken around 1.6 m3/s, which has allowed us to analyze the generator suitable for the required Pico-Hydro Power Plant. Therefore, the study conducted has allowed us to conclude that the electric generator suitable for the Pico-Hydro Power Plant in the Ambato-Huachi-Pelileo irrigation channel is a radial flux permanent magnet generator that is capable of providing sufficient electrical power with a simple structure, low revolutions, and high efficiency. Also, a Matlab simulation was developed in order to predict the power which is capable of provide the radial flux permanent magnet generator which in this case is 3.8 KW. This work aims to provide several benefits to the society bordering the irrigation channel, such as generating energy for self-consumption as a contribution to the lighting of the channel at no cost to the public in order that it is not dangerous for the passers at night and providing the ability for maintenance works at any time. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020.

We present the Multi-criteria Analysis of turbines for Pico-Hydro Power plant in Ambato–Huachi–Pelileo water irrigation channel. Not only, we have been able to perform a turbine selection using the common requirements like head and flow rate. But also, we have taken into account a multi-criteria analysis by considering: Quantitative criteria, such as Efficiency and Size, combined with Qualitative criteria, such as Maintainability & Serviceability, Portability, Modularity, and Installation Environment requirements. The criteria were analyzed by using the analytical hierarchy process (AHP). We have reviewed different turbine options for being used in a pico-hydropower plants, from the analytical hierarchy process. We have concluded that Michell Banki turbine is the recommendable option in terms of easy build and highly efficient. The study of the requirements for the development of Pico-Hydro Power plant in Ambato–Huachi–Pelileo water irrigation channel in Ecuador will be a promising method for meeting the energy needs using renewable resources and avoiding the conventional fossil fuels or any other approach that affects the environment. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020.

We present theoretical and experimental results regarding the saturable absorber length optimization for the generation of stable mode-locked regimes of a novel on-chip colliding pulse mode-locked semiconductor laser structure. We have been able to apply the design criteria acquired from previous theoretical and experimental reports to define a suitable gain section length for a given saturable absorber section length. The latter is independent from the cavity length and allows obtaining stable mode-locked regimes with the required repetition rate and pulse width in the range of picoseconds for different applications. We have developed four on-chip colliding pulse mode-locked laser structures with saturable absorber lengths ranging from 20 to 50 μm in steps of 10 μm with fundamental repetition rate at 25 GHz and twice this frequency at 50 GHz when operated in the colliding pulse mode-locked regime. The theoretical study was carried out by using the simulation tool called FreeTWM which is a free travelling wave model software designed for the study of the dynamics of multisection semiconductor lasers, while the experimental analysis was executed on the samples fabricated on a generic InP photonic integrated technology through a multi-project wafer run. © 1995-2012 IEEE.

We report the successful computational reliability of integrating renewable energy into conventional electric power systems. According to renewable resources available in the province of Imbabura in Ecuador, where there are sufficient renewable resources to generate clean energy with three types of technology, such as wind energy, photovoltaic solar energy and thermoelectric energy. We have been able to conduct two fundamental case studies, and then calculate reliability indices using the non-sequential Monte Carlo method using Matlab programming. The reliability indices allowed us to evaluate the reliability of the system. Due to the fact that the lower the reliability index, the higher the reliability of the system. As a result, this paper provides a promising method for increasing the reliability of electric power systems and supporting the future integration of renewable energies. © 2019, Associacao Iberica de Sistemas e Tecnologias de Informacao.
