Simulación de generación distribuida utilizando sistemas fotovoltaicos, en un circuito eléctrico de la subestación Puerto Araujo (Santander).

Abstract

Photovoltaic solar energy is recognized worldwide as a renewable source, with low environmental impact and with lower costs compared to other energy sources. At the Colombian level, geographical conditions are favorable for this technology and it is the beneficiary of government incentives such as Law 1715 of 2014; however, in Colombia it has not been widely used. In the present work, an analysis or simulation of a distributed generation methodology is made in order to identify the main impacts on the voltage profiles, the losses and the chargeability of conductors, which generates the massive use of Connected Photovoltaic Systems. to the Network in a low voltage distribution system within circuit No. 72_501 of the Puerto Araujo Substation in the municipality of Cimitarra (Santander). Within the simulations developed, the PowerFactoryDigsilent simulation power system and electrical variables such as power transmission are used to model the photovoltaic system at (13200 volts) connected to the grid that allows the operation to be replicated within the electrical grid and determine the impacts produced by massifying this type of systems. The simulation results will give important indicators to determine the maximum level of photovoltaic penetration allowed in the proposed network, in order to increase the coverage and quality of energy in rural sectors of the local transmission and system of Puerto Araujo (Santander).
