Assessing Climate Change Impacts on Ecuador’s Hydropower Under Representative Concentration Pathway Scenarios to 2060
Renewable energy deployment has accelerated globally in recent years, with renewables accounting for 29% of global electricity generation by 2024. In this context, Ecuador has significantly expanded its renewable capacity, relying predominantly on hydropower, which represented 70% of total electricity generation in 2024. Installed capacity increased from 1707 MW in 2000 to 5371 MW in 2024. This study addresses a research gap by integrating climate scenario analysis with long-term energy system modeling, evaluating the viability of Ecuador’s hydropower sector under four Representative Concentration Pathway scenarios through 2060 using the TIMES platform. The results project reductions in hydropower generation of 22%, 19%, and 15% under RCP 8.5, RCP 6.0, and RCP 4.5, respectively, with a modest increase of 1.4% under RCP 2.6, driven by changes in water availability. Overall, an average decline of approximately 14% is projected by 2060. These findings indicate that reductions in hydropower generation may compromise system reliability in hydro-dependent systems such as Ecuador. While the quantified impacts are specific to the national context, the relationship between climate variability, capacity factors, and electricity generation provides insights relevant for other regions with similar hydropower dependence. The study highlights the need to integrate climate projections into future energy planning.

Improvement and Control of the Customer Service System, through a simulation of the Waiting Line model: case study in a telecommunications company
This work focused on proposing a plan for improvement and control of the customer service process in a customer service center, based on a waiting line analysis where it describes all the elements that interact in the system and a statistical analysis of processes to define the state in which it operates. Subsequently, the simulation of processes is applied to represent the system studied, and with it, to be able to evaluate different strategies for improvement and increase in productivity. The following strategies were evaluated: correction of the instability of customer service processes, establishment of new specification limits according to the promise of value to be fulfilled to customers, human resource management, administrative technical support. Finally, with the results obtained from the simulation of the system, the improvement and productivity increase plan is planned according to the DMAMC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control, or DMAIC) continuous improvement cycle established in six sigma

Análisis e identificación de riesgos de operabilidad en procesos críticos de servicios petroleros, mediante la aplicación de la metodología HAZOP, en la industria ecuatoriana
La presente investigación refiere a la realización de un estudio de Análisis e Identificación de Riesgos de Operabilidad en Procesos Críticos de Servicios Petroleros, Mediante la Aplicación de la Metodología HAZOP, con la finalidad de reducir o mitigar los riesgos de procesos, que afecten la Salud Física y Psicológica del Trabajador, Medio Ambiente y la Instalación industrial. La investigación inicia con la recopilación de estudios similares, los cuales mencionan que los accidentes en una instalación industrial química y en procedimientos riesgosos, se pueden dar por tres factores: falla mecánica, falla humana y eventos externos. Base que permitió realizar la indagación de la metodología HAZOP y su aplicación; así como también, la investigación de las normas nacionales e internacionales referentes a la gestión de riesgos de procesos. Posteriormente se aplicó la Metodología HAZOP que consistió en: determinar un área de estudio, seleccionar el equipo de trabajo multidisciplinario, dividir el área en cuantos nodos sean necesarios y aplicar las palabras guías pertinentes, que mediante la generación de ideas y la discusión propositiva identifique los posibles escenarios de accidentes. Luego evaluar y determinar si el riesgo es aceptable, caso contrario proponer las acciones correctivas que permitan controlar y mitigar el riesgo. (Severi et al., 2022) Finalmente, la investigación determinó que el 75% de las actividades realizadas están asociados con consecuencias graves, por tanto, se deben implementar medidas de controles adicionales en un porcentaje del 5% controles de ingeniería, 72% controles administrativos y 23 % no se requiere intervenir en el proceso.
