Óptimo Dimensionamiento y Ubicación de Generación Fotovoltaica en una Microred Georeferenciada Utilizando Generación de Columnas

The costumers trigger the demand for the Energy Electricity Distribution Systems (EDS), it has been the main topic of discussion in some researches, because the costumers' energy needs should be satisfied. From this point of view, it is important to consider accomplish the consumer energy demand from a centralized generation system. This generation type implies a considerable cost of initial investment and associated expenses. The implementation of a centralized generation involves electricity losses, operating costs, levels of voltage, among others. Distributed Generation (DG) implemented by nonstandard renewable energy (NSRE) opens a space as a possible solution to those entitled problems. Since DG is located close as possible to the loads and it can meet the required demand. Therefore, DG can deliver power to the EDS, if it is necessary. Additionally, technical, economic, and operational problems could be minimized. This paper presents the optimal location and dimensioning of the DG units with photovoltaic technology. The DG is integrated into the EDS employing the proposed algorithm, which allows us to minimize operating costs. The algorithm is based on the generating columns method. Besides, this approach generates a micro grid without considering routing problems. The scenario is as real as possible with a georeferenced fashion, solving this problem through the implemented graph theory.
