This study describes the main policies and laws in force for implementing microgrids in Ecuador. Finally, a discussion related to the feasibility of the inclusion of energy solutions based on microgrids for
Therefore, this paper pre- sents a brief review regarding the use and implementation of renewable energy sources, including microgrid solutions, as part of the Ecuador''s Interconnected National System.
This work presents an energy management system (EMS) for a residential microgrid using convex optimization to achieve optimal decisions. The results obtained show that the proposed model is three times faster than
The present undergraduate project studies the planning design of a microgrid that provides continuous electricity to the island of San Cristóbal, exclusively to the residential sector, which has higher consumption values.
The optimal design for the proposed microgrids has been successfully accomplished, providing insightful outcomes that pinpoint the most cost-effective and energy-efficient configurations
In this article we designed a hybrid electrical system between renewable and conventional generation with connection to the public power grid, for a residential building in the city of Quito, which proves to be
This white paper focuses on tools that support design, planning and operation of microgrids (or aggregations of microgrids) for multiple needs and stakeholders (e.g., utilities, developers, aggregators, and
This work addresses the design of utility plants incorporating technologies to process biomass, manure, solar radiation, and wind to generate steam and electricity.
In this sense, microgrids have become a solution that has reduced the loadability of power systems. Thus, the Salesian Polytechnic University in Quito has implemented a hybrid microgrid with three photovoltaic plants
This paper develops an optimization model to determine the optimal sizing, the total annual investment cost in renewable generation, and other operating costs of the components of a hybrid microgrid.
