Methodology for the optimal implementation of solar generation systems for the integral and sustainable development of rural areas in Colombia

Abstract

This document shows an analysis of different possible topologies for rural areas offering a methodology for the optimal implementation of solar generation systems leading to the best use of current technologies and end uses of photovoltaic energy, as a tool for integral and sustainable development of rural areas in Colombia. The document also applies an optimization technique for each of the proposed topologies. The results are very promising, since the control strategy is able to mitigate the increase in voltage with a better minimization of power loss and consumption of conventional energy. The proposed methodology was validated with several simulations that included a test with a simulator in real time.
