This article aims to show the dimensioning and evaluation of a Distributed Generation system based on renewable energies for its application in a rural area in the state of Veracruz, Mexico. The main motivation of this work arises from the shortage of energy or a deficient supply in numerous localities located in the state of Veracruz, derived from different reasons. A methodology based on the application of HOMER Pro software is proposed for the sizing and optimization of a renewable hybrid system, considering it as an isolated set from the supply network, achieving the optimization and evaluation from technical and economic aspects. Initially, the meteorological data of the site were obtained, from its geographical coordinates; subsequently, the demand profile of one of the households in the community is determined to extrapolate it to the total number of dwellings. The results obtained in this research can serve as a basis for its implementation and, therefore, improve the conditions in which the population of rural communities or isolated from supply networks usually live.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
