Controlador Difuso para Gestión de la Energía en un Proceso Detransición de Central de Generación Térmica a Renovables

This article considers a transition scenario to non-conventionalrenewable energy sources (NCRE) of mixed technology, composedof photovoltaic solar generation and micro wind generation, takinginto account a gradual decarbonization event. As a case study, theDayuma thermoelectric plant (2MW), located in the province ofOrellana, Ecuador, will be considered. Initially for its development, thenatural energy resources of the area were evaluated, such astemperature, irradiance, wind speed at its maximum, minimum andaverage points, in a time interval of five years. Subsequently, for theoptimal management of energy production, controllers based onfuzzy logic were used to monitor the maximum power point(MPPT), and this controller was compared with a conventional P&O. Finally, the calculations were carried out to determine the amountof high-efficiency panels needed and the number of micro-windgenerators was established in the same way. In this way, the physicalarea for the implementation of the proposed plant is established. Thisresearch seeks to provide an additional option to evaluate theelectricity generation of a new renewable plant, it should be notedthat the expected results are focused on a decarbonization process andthe design of a controller with advantages and disadvantages.
