Modelo de estado estacionario de la microrred del laboratorio de Balzay de la Universidad de Cuenca

Abstract

The solution to several problems facing the traditional electric model is intended to be the incorporation of micro networking. The micro networking looks for creating a competitive, efficient electrical system and to reduce the environmental damage throughout the incorporation of renewable energies.

The evolution of electric networks leads to new ways of managing the networks. For this reason, this thesis project proposes the simulation in a steady state of the different technologies that make up the Scientific, Technological and Research Center BALZAY, specifically in the Laboratory of the Electrical Micro Networking in order to have models that allow starting studies on the behavior of each of the elements involved and their interaction.

The modeling using computational tools is divided into two parts: The first consists on the individual simulation of each of the generation and storage equipment; the second part integrates all the equipment through two different ways of operation: operation with connection to the public electric network and operation in island mode. In both cases, Simulink's SimPowerSystems test platform is used.

Finally, in the economic dispatch analysis, case studies are carried out using the Homer Energy tool where optimization takes into account some variables such as production and maintenance costs. Additionally, the main conclusions of this project are presented, and some future research is proposed starting from basic problems that must be solved.
