Salamanca, Gto. October 31, 2017.- The Mexican Center of Renewable Energies (Cemer for its acronym in Spanish) S.C., set in motion the Electric Energy Monitoring Systems of the University of Guanajuato (UG), which in its pilot stage, covers different venues of Campus Irapuato-Salamanca.

With this, they seek to reduce costs in electricity, thus adopting measures to change habits for a better use of energy, mentioned Dr. Jesús Martínez Patiño, Cemer's Director.

The Secretary of Management and Development of the University of Guanajuato, Dr. Jorge Alberto Romero Hidalgo, accompanied by the Rector of Campus Irapuato-Salamanca, Dr. Armando Gallegos Muñoz, oversaw the measurement equipment that is formed by transformers, electronic data caption systems and a communication system based on internet.

The monitoring system reflects in real time the different electronic parameters such as, voltage, current, energy, power and frequency, to identify the situations that may present with the energy supply; and generate statistics that ease the decision-making process.

Three former students of the department of Electric engineering and two collaborators from Cemer participate in the project; they installed several monitoring points in the UG's venues Yuriria, Salamanca and Irapuato.

Dr. Romero considered that "it is necessary for a center like this one to support our institution and it can be extended in the short term, to other venues, because our university has facilities in 12 cities today; but Cemer cannot be kept as an interior view, it must another limb of the university's ecosystems of innovation, liaison and research."

He reaffirmed that the growth of the university, carries a demand of energy, hence, they must seek strategies at home to contain the increments and to plan the upcoming installations in the coming years.

The secretary of Management and the Rector of Campus Irapuato—Salamanca, presided the recognition award ceremony for 26 students of the Department of Electrical Engineering, who took a course-workshop at Cemer and represent the fourth generation of diagnosticians in electrical facilities.

It is worthy to remember that, UG works in an electric energy strategic plan, to establish systems, policies and procedures with the purpose to diminish the consumption of energy and electrical power in its different buildings.
