ABSTRACT
This research aims to analyze the relationship between monthly energy consumption and age of users of Barrio San Agustin in Machachi Canton in the province of Pichincha in the EEQ by its Spanish acronym, Empresa Electrica de Quito, before and after the curfew measures issued by the national COE (by its Spanish acronym) in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic. It is carried out taking into account a stratum distributed by the level of energy consumption, conducting age surveys of users in the area, determining its variation in relation to the years 2018, 2019 2020 and 2021, applying the curvilinear regression method to estimate the average monthly demand in relation to the average age of users, and as a result thereof, the group that reaches the peaks of power consumption in the period from March to November 2020, corresponds to an average age ranging from 27 to 33 years old and the average age groups that present the lowest average consumption are those ranging from 20 to 25 and from 40 to 45 years old. © The author.
ABSTRACT
The purpose of this research is to analyze the monthly energy consumption by the users of the PEC program (Energy Efficiency Program for induction cooking and electric water heating) of ELEPCO SA (Empresa Eléctrica Provincial Cotopaxi Sociedad Anónima) before and after the curfew measures dictated by the national “COE” (Emergency Operations Center) in response to the global pandemic caused by COVID-19 disease. Carried out by taking into account four strata distributed according the energy consumption levels, its variance in relation to the year 2019 and applying the linear regression method to estimate the average monthly demand in relation to the curfew time, resulting in that the rate The increase in the period April-May 2019 versus April-May 2020 is 5.17% and analyzing only stratum B in the period March-July 2019 in relation to March-July 2020 is 8.02%, estimating that for the month of August 2020 the will have an average monthly consumption of 215,441 KWh in stratum A. © The author;licensee Universidad Nacional de Colombia.
