Diseño de microrred eléctrica para la comunidad cocodrilo de la Isla de la Juventud, Cuba

Micro grid design for the Cocodrilo community on the Isla de la Juventud, Cuba

Abstract

Currently, most isolated electrical systems that include generation sources based on fossil fuels, are being modified
by hybrid generation schemes, taking advantage of recent advances in the area of renewable energy sources that
reduce environmental impact and reduce dependence. from the incessant fluctuation of hydrocarbon prices. This
thesis work is framed within the field of electrical microgrids without connection to the distribution network, also
called isolated microgrids. The work begins with a characterization of existing electrical panorama on the community
that project is develop. Meanwhile, is done a characterization of the community in deed. Next, the case study of the
technical economic feasibility of the implementation of a microgrid in the Cocodrilo community is developed, located
in an isolated area belonging to the Isla de la Juventud Special Municipality. This study makes it possible to identify
the most convenient variant of electricity supply and energy dispatch for the existing conditions in the target
community. Finally, the results obtained are electrically validated
