Abstract
The Galapagos Islands are a fragile ecosystem which belongs to Ecuador country. About 26.000 people are located in four islands of the archipelago and approximately 61% of the population is concentrated on Santa Cruz Island. The supply of energy is through of combined technologies such as thermal, photovoltaic and wind. The government of Ecuador is fostering the policy zero CO2 emissions within the islands. In order to achieve this objective, some initiatives are carried out like replacing the conventional vehicles and the gas stoves by electrical ones. Taking into account this framework, it becomes vital to assess the impact of these new policies on the distribution network; for sure, this will change significantly the operation and control of Galapagos distribution grid. Hence, this paper proposes an impact study of intelligent Demand Side Management techniques development adapted to the Galapagos context, in order to help to their preservation, reducing the environmental footprint, becoming a world reference in management of the energy and sustainability. Real field informations have been used in the presented models.
