Optimization of the diesel photovoltaic isolated system installed in the Nazareth community using wind energy.

Abstract

The objective of the work is the optimization of the isolated and hybridized electric power generation system with photovoltaic technology and genset, installed in the village of Nazareth belonging to the municipality of Uribia, Colombia. The optimization criteria established in this study consists of respecting what is already installed and from there propose various search spaces in HOMER Energy to find the optimal system configuration, the main idea is to minimize the consumption of diesel fuel through the inclusion of a wind system. two optimal scenarios are proposed, the first minimizes the participation of the genset to 10%, the second proposes a system of 100% renewable energy generation. Based on the results of the study, it is concluded that the system proposed in scenario C is the most pertinent alternative, It is concluded that the system proposed in scenario C is the most relevant alternative, because the system has 90% autonomy without the generator set.
