Estudio de factibilidad de la aplicación de sistemas híbridos de energía en zonas no Interconectadas del municipio de Leticia (Amazonas)

Abstract

In Colombia, there are two types of zones when talking about access to electricity: Interconnected Zones and Non-Interconnected Zones; The latter are characterized by having a low population density and being in places that are difficult to access. Leticia is a city in southern Colombia, located next to the Amazon River on the border with Brazil and Peru, categorized as a Non-Interconnected Zone. For this reason, the objective of this research was to carry out a feasibility study for the implementation of a system hybrid energy for non-interconnected areas within the municipality of Leticia, Amazonas. For this, the current regulations in terms of renewable energies were reviewed, the Non-Interconnected Zones related to the municipality were identified, and the energy variables were characterized in relation to renewable energy sources, for this purpose. way to proceed to the technical study of a hybrid solar-wind system in the capital of the department. In this way, it was seen that despite the fact that the solar system is a quite effective alternative in technical and economic terms, the wind system is not feasible in the study area, since the winds are so slow and the wind turbine structures so expensive, more money would be invested in exchange for obtaining less energy, which is why the implementation of another renewable source is proposed to replace wind sources and that, together with photovoltaic systems, represents an effective sustainable alternative.
