Distribuidos de Energía Eléctrica en Sistemas Energéticos Regionales: análisis con el modelo LEAP

Abstract

In this work, the role of electricity storage as a flexibility tool aimed at improving the gradual integration of variable renewable energy sources into the system is simulated, at a regional and long-term level, by means of the LEAP (Longrange Energy Alternatives Planning) model; among others, we consider centralized and distributed generation systems with photovoltaic technology of Mendoza province, taking into account the temporal variability of the source. The daily energy storage linked to electric vehicles (with lithium-ion batteries) is included in their conception of injection to the grid (V2G). In the results obtained, it is observed that, with the incorporation rates, both for electric vehicles and distributed photovoltaic systems, there are no significant variations due to their insertion into the electricity system. On the contrary, environmental indicators are improved. These findings suggest the need to address an optimization approach.
