Abstract
An analysis of ocean energy integration in Ibero-American electric grids have been summarized in this
article. Offshore wind, floating solar PV, tidal, waves and
even saline gradient are the technologies considered. Four
different Ibero-American regions have been considered:
Mesoamerica, South America, Iberian Peninsula
and Macaronesia. Areas or countries have been selected
from each region as representative of the critical conditions,
in terms of grid integration. The development of the ocean
renewable energy, as referenced in the objectives
achievement of many energy roadmaps in such regions, is
conditioned by the possibilities to integrate the marine
generation power plants in the electric systems. The
objective of this analysis is to give an overview of the
opportunities and barriers for integrating ocean renewable
energy into these electrical grids. Identifying grid
limitations would help to implement mechanisms and
strategies that minimize the electrical grid impact of the
integration ocean renewable energy.
