“…All costs during the system's useful life were evaluated, including the initial set-up costs (IC), component replacements within the system's useful life, maintenance and operating costs (M&O), and purchasing power costs (PPC) from the grid. The lifetime cycle cost of the system was represented by the net present cost (NPC) and calculated with the following equation [12]:…”

This research developed a system that can make factories more independent from the grid. The system enhances efficiency since factory operation is powered by the renewable energy generated during the production process. Winemaking is a key sector that can profit from such a system because wineries can recycle much of the waste from the raw materials employed in wine production. Moreover, the solar energy collected at winemaking facilities can also be used to reduce electricity consumption and thus increase energy efficiency. This study investigated the feasibility of using renewable energy sources, such as solar energy, in wineries in Spain, given the quantity of renewable energy produced in the country. For this purpose, cost-effectiveness, power generation, CO 2 emissions and the renewable energy fraction were taken into account. The assumption was that the photovoltaic system was grid-connected. Research results showed a reduction in electrical power costs ranging from 4% to 36%. This reduction was accompanied by an increase in the use of renewable energy of up to 57%. The results obtained are based on self-consumption or net metering policy as well as the production capacity of the winery.

“…PV-wind-diesel power system: The schematic diagram of Photovoltaic (PV)-winddiesel power system components are presented in Figure 1 consists of diesel generator, PV arrays, wind turbine, battery and power converters. Technical information to run the simulation using HOMER software were obtained from manufacturers of the equipment and previous studies [8][9][10][11][12][13]. …”

Abstract. Techno economic study is feasible to optimize the usage of renewable energy components that targeting low cost of electricity generation system. The selected case study area is coastal area in Pekan, Pahang, Malaysia. The autonomous system designed in this study is hybrid standalone PV-wind-diesel energy system to fulfil a basic power demand of 20.1 kWh/day. Such power system was designed and optimized further to meet the power demand at a minimum cost of energy using energy optimization software, Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewables (HOMER). The analysis focused on the operational characteristics and economics. The standalone PV-wind-diesel energy system has total net present cost about $61, 911 with cost of energy $0.66/kWh. Apparently, the generation of electricity from both wind turbine and PV can be inflated with the diesel generator. In comparison, return of investment (ROI) value turned out lower for Feed in Tariff (FIT) as compared to self-sustained house. Payback period also longer for FIT program that makes the selling back of electricity generated to Tenaga National Berhad (TNB) is considered not favourable.

Dalton y otros [126] llevaron a cabo la optimización de una microred en Australia, en base a la minimización del NPC por medio de la herramienta HOMER. Otras simulaciones para obtener el sistema óptimo, fueron realizadas usando los software HOMER and HYBIDS [127], en esta publicación se muestra una comparación de los resultados obtenidos por ambos programas.…”

Valencia, Marzo de 2012 AGRADECIMIENTOS "Porque no hay una hoja de un árbol que caiga sin que sea su voluntad".Por encima de todo agradezco a Dios… …Porque tanto la ayuda en conocimientos e información, como la fuerza y motivación en la dificultades han sido cruciales para la realización de esta tesis.Agradezco a mi tutor Carlos Álvarez, por haber apoyado este objetivo, a mi esposa Soljimena Monsalve, quien ha sido mi motor y más grande apoyo moral, así como al profesor Carlos Sanchez, mi compañero Ivan Valencia y los demás que no nombro pero que también me han colaborado de manera incondicional. INTRODUCCIÓN Y OBJETIVOSActualmente más de 1400 millones de personas (cerca del 20% de la población mundial) carecen de suministro de energía eléctrica; además unos 2700 millones (un 40% de la población global) dependen de los usos convencionales de la biomasa (leña, los residuos de carbón, la agricultura, etc., llevados a combustión directa) para satisfacer la mayoría de sus necesidades diarias de energía, tales como cocinar y calefacción, a estos aspectos les ha denominado la Agencia Internacional de la energía, "Pobreza Energética" [1]. Como consecuencia, la organización mundial de la salud estima que más de 1,45 millones de personas, en su mayoría mujeres y niños mueren prematuramente cada año por la polución producida en el interior de sus viviendas.Estos antecedentes desvelan el papel fundamental que la energía desempeña en la satisfacción de la mencionadas necesidades básicas de la población, por lo que el compromiso de la ciencia y la tecnología para afrontar este problema y los retos que sugiere es inminente, optimizar los recursos existentes será primordial, si se consideran los costos y demás barreras para erradicar la denominada "Pobreza energética"; condición necesaria para ofrecer una adecuada calidad de vida y promover el desarrollo de una población.Considerando las condiciones presentadas, es vital aducir que toda solución global de energía debe considerar un suministro eléctrico, que va a suplir la mayor parte de necesidades energéticas. Por lo tanto, llevar energía eléctrica a las zonas aisladas, es decir, zonas no conectadas a la red, que permanezcan aun carentes de suministro de energía eléctrica; presenta un gran reto y una oportunidad de mejora de los sistemas y tecnologías implicadas para este fin.Optimización de recursos energéticos en Zonas Aisladas Mediante Consideración de Estrategias de Suministro y Consumo. 2Con los precios del petróleo rondando máximos históricos y la incertidumbre que han suscitado en la energía nuclear los problemas ocasionados por el terremoto en Japón (2011), las energías renovables pasan a ocupar un lugar primordial en panorama energético mundial y sugieren ser consideradas en las soluciones de generación eléctrica.La Generación Distribuida (su acrónimo en inglés es DG), ha tenido amplia acogida dentro de las soluciones que se plantean para este tipo de zonas aisladas, al presentar ventajas como la cercanía entre las fuentes de generación y los consumos, la ...
