One of the Distributed Energy Resources with the greatest potential for the provision of ancillary support services that allow improving continuity indexes in the electricity service is Distributed Generation from cogeneration (also known as Combined Heat and Power or CHP), which in Colombia is produced mainly from biomass product of agricultura, especially in the sugar cane sector. For this reason, this thesis focuses on studying the technical aspects that affect the provision of an Island Operating service from these generation plants in Colombia, in order to identify aspects that Colombian regulation must consider in the establishment of this suggested service to take advantage of the potential of this resource.For this, a bibliographic review is carried out that allows to identify the potentialities at a technical level of this type of technology for the provision of the complementary service under study. Then, experiences in analogous services are described and the current regulatory conditions related to the implementation of this type of services in Colombia are studied, as well as the operation and remuneration of these generation plants. Finally, the technical conditions studied are validated by simulation and parameters are determined that the regulation of this complementary service must consider in order to be implemented correctly, and relevant research topics are identified for this same purpose.The results obtained indicate that the establishment of the proposed service is recommended and that, to achieve it, it is necessary to implement smart grid technologies that allow adequate control not only of cogenerators but also of electrical networks.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
