Evaluación de supercondensadores como sistema de almacenamiento para microredes

Abstract

The use of energy storage devices has gained strength in terms of power generation, since the energy sources currently operating have the problem of being intermittent; It is there where the storage elements play an important role since they provide the ability to save energy with a low level of losses so that this energy is delivered consistently and when necessary. The purpose of this article is to synthesize concepts related to renewable energy systems and their integration into micro-networks. It will also be argued about energy storage systems, specifically the supercapacitors that are responsible for storing the excess energy produced by renewable energy systems, and then it will be used at the moment where there is greater demand. By means of simulations, curves will be obtained that show the operation of the systems in optimal conditions and others where the voltage and frequency variations caused by a disturbance are indicated that after a certain time the system returns to reach its voltage and frequency stability by the supercapacitor action.
