Resumen:
The aims of this work are to establish, by means of electrical microgrid systems with photovoltaic solar sources and batteries storage devices, an energy system in order to supply electrical energy for remote communities far from the conventional distribution electrical service in the Province of Morona Santiago in The Ecuadorian Amazon Region. The study is very important due to the fact that this province has the lowest rate of electrical coverage in Ecuador. The methodology has been performed in order to make good use of the geographical position of Ecuador on the planet about the solar radiation to generate electricity and establishing the optimal angles of inclination and orientation of the solar panels of the photovoltaic systems. The profile and behavior of the electricity demand in daily, monthly and annual horizons have been considered in accordance with similar systems in other provinces of Ecuador. Subsequently, the operating, energy production and energy management behavior will be evaluated over a typical day, to establish thus the control strategy for charging and discharging of the battery storage system, and the energy management as well. This with the goal that the batteries supply electrical energy in hours where there is no usable solar radiation and in the nights. The evaluations carried out for an average winter and a summer month, due to these two climatic seasons are the predominant in Ecuador. The study is carried out by entering available data in a CIGRÉ electric microgrid test system, in which there are a photovoltaic solar system and a bidirectional batteries storage system. The results have indicated the feasibility and benefits that allow the use of environmentally friendly renewable energy systems in the Ecuadorian Amazon Region. The implementation of this type of technologies allows to improve the conditions of access to electricity to protected and isolated communities and therefore the coverage rate of Ecuador. Additionally, a control and energy management strategy are analyzed in order to take the advantages of batteriy electrical energy storage systems in electric microgrids.
