Estimación del impacto de interconexión de centrales eólicas al Sistema Nacional Interconectado de Ecuador usando el método de evaluación ponderada basada en los resultados del atlas eólico y los datos proporcionados por los anuarios del INAMHI

Abstract

This document presents a proposal for generating wind power plants by including them in the Ecuadorian system. It consists of three phases. Phase 1 locates the best areas based on quantitative and qualitative aspects, which are processed using a weighted evaluation method integrated into an optimization model. Its results are based on data provided by the INAMHI (National Institute of Statistics and Census) yearbooks and the Ecuadorian Wind Atlas. This results in two potential zones, where the interconnection point and installed capacity are defined. Phase 2 is based on the first phase. The objective is to evaluate and define the impact of these projects by integrating them with the Ecuadorian National System of Energy (SNI) using DigSILENT PowerFactory software, which includes power flow, short-circuit, and transient stability analyses. Phase 3 defines the maximum and minimum generation limits expected for each of the plants.
