Estudio comparativo de metodologías de cálculo para costos de energía alternativas en el Ecuador

Abstract

This research project analyzes calculation methodologies for the cost of electricity from renewable energy technologies in Ecuador, used to assess the feasibility of power generation projects and make decisions based on production costs. The methodologies guide the determination of the LCOE (Levelized Cost of Electricity), fixed costs, variable costs, and total costs for various types of power plants. Five technologies are considered (hydropower, wind, thermal, photovoltaic, biogas), evaluating their potential primary energy sources and comparing different calculation methodologies applied to various case studies.
