Abstract

In today’s world, the integration of renewable energies is essential to meet the surging global energy demand and reduce pollution. Ecuador, with its favorable geographical location, boasts abundant renewable resources. Currently, the country has large-scale renewable energy projects such as “El Aromo” in Manabí, led by Solarpack, and Villonaco in Loja, with its wind power plant. In this study, Homer Pro software is used to simulate two microgrids with solar and wind energy in the mentioned sectors, allowing us to conduct comprehensive economic and energy analyses to determine the most viable configurations.
