“Dimensionamiento óptimo de bancos de batería para micro-redes conectadas al sistema de distribución de energía eléctrica, con participación en programas de respuesta de la demanda”

Abstract

The growing introduction of microgrids as an alternative for the energization of the largest number of users opens the discussion regarding the best alternative for demand coverage in terms of the use of renewable resources and new technologies such as storage systems with better performance. Since storage systems do not rely heavily on uncontrollable resources, such as the sun and wind, their sizing depends mostly on the power requirement of the power system and the costs involved in the technology. The present research provides a storage system sizing perspective where the available resource and power of photovoltaic and wind generators are considered, in addition to the hourly demand curve in order to reduce the demand seen from the boundary meter, the problem is approached from the economic point of view in which it is sought to reduce the dispatch cost to the lowest possible by means of linear programming carried out by means of Matlab as an optimization case by minimizing the total dispatch cost by finding an adequate size of battery bank.
