Electrification by microgrids in rural areas of the Azuay province, Ecuador

The electrification of rural areas is an increasingly relevant issue, since in some cases they do not have access to the traditional electricity grid. For this reason, the use of renewable energy microgrids applied to these areas is being studied. It is important to consider the available energy resource in order to adequately size the microgrid system, since certain systems may not be

Microgrids: State Policies To Bolster Energy Resilience

By defining a microgrid in statute, states can determine the types of systems that qualify under a variety of state programs, and enumerate the goal of a specific policy or program. "A microgrid is a group of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources (DERs) within clearly defined electrical boundaries that acts as a single

Technical-economic comparison of microgrids for rural

The use of microgrids is becoming increasingly widespread, as they can be implemented independently of location and according to the energy resource available in each area. They also provide a reliable, efficient and clean supply of electricity. In the Galapagos island region of Ecuador, there are several sources of energy resources, many of which are not used for the

Optimal Design of Hybrid Microgrid in Isolated Communities of Ecuador

In rural territories, the communities use energy sources based on fossil fuels to supply themselves with electricity, which may address two main problems: greenhouse gas emissions and high fuel prices. Hence, there is an opportunity to include renewable resources in the energy mix. This paper develops an optimization model to determine the optimal sizing, the total annual
