Diseño cartográfico de una microrred eléctrica en isla para una comunidad energética en la Playa Caño Dulce y sus alrededores en el municipio de Tubará Atlántico

Abstract

The community of Caño Dulce, located in Tubará, Atlántico, has embraced the implementation of sustainable and autonomous energy solutions through the development of an electric microgrid. This project is essential to improving the quality of life for residents and fostering socioeconomic development in this coastal region. Currently, the community faces significant challenges in terms of energy access and sustainability due to its reliance on conventional energy sources and the lack of adequate infrastructure, resulting in frequent service interruptions and high economic and environmental costs. The aim of this project is to develop a sustainable and autonomous energy system capable of operating independently from the national grid, ensuring a continuous and reliable supply of energy for local residents and economic activities. To achieve this, the cartographic design of an island-mode microgrid has been developed using GIS tools, integrating both cartographic and electrical data of the system. The microgrid’s cartographic design, created with QGIS software, includes the placement of solar panels in the area and the necessary components such as photovoltaic panels, inverters, and system balance elements, which cover mounting, wiring, and electrical accessories. Additionally, some systems incorporate batteries to store energy for use during periods of insufficient solar radiation. These components not only enhance the community's resilience and self-sufficiency but also optimize resource usage and promote the integration of renewable energy solutions, contributing to the sustainable and socioeconomic development of the region.
