In this work, we model a low-power microgrid based on the distribution grid of the University of Nariño, Colombia. The model includes photovoltaic, wind, microturbines, and fuel cell generators to satisfy the demanded power in the campus, according to measured demand profiles in the low voltage side. The design and simulation are performed in SimPowerSystems simplifying the low-level controllers to...
The development of a distributed generation payback calculator that can be used for different types of energy technologies such as small wind turbines, fuel cells, microturbines, solar PV and other technologies is presented. The payback calculator takes several inputs such as technology costs, expected life of the project, capacity factor, system size, customer type, and several other relevant parameters...
This paper presents a study, using the software HOMER, for the adequate electrical and economic dispatch analysis of distributed generation systems with renewable energy resources. In this way, sensitive analyses can be worked out to simulate the system performance and to examine the attractiveness of the different power dispatch according to the management needs. The general logic is always illustrated...
