Design of a photovoltaic park as a backup system for industrial networks to improve the quality of energy supplied

Abstract

Currently it is vital to provide reliability in the supply of electricity in the industry due to the criticality of the processes that are developed there. At the same time, worldwide it is aimed at the implementation of renewable energies in replacement of conventional energies.

In this work, load flow simulations are carried out in order to estimate the energy not supplied (ENS) due to inadmissible operating conditions, as a result of a contingency in the power supply network to the Sauce Viejo Industrial Park, located in the province Santa Fe. With these values a solar photovoltaic support park is sized, with the objective of improving the service provided to all park users.

The results obtained show that the energy contribution of renewable generation results in a reduction of the energy not supplied, improving the quality and reliability of the electricity supply.
