Distributed Generation (DG) is the term given to electric power generation systems of limited capacity operating in parallel with distribution circuits. Interest in DG has increased recently due to diverse factors. The ...

The generation potential of grid-tied photovoltaic (PV) is examined along with the environmental benefits associated with introducing this technology in Puerto Rico. It is found that PV technology could potentially displace ...

This Project determines the economic impact related to the adoption of a Renewable Portfolio Standard in Puerto Rico. RPS policies have become key drivers to increase the use of renewable energy sources. However, its ...

Distributed generation has important advantages that must be exploited. In order to maximize the benefits, distributed energy resources (DERs) must be managed and controlled properly, especially to minimize power fluctuations ...

La situación energética es uno de los problemas más dialogados y controversiales a nivel mundial. La gran dependencia de los combustibles fósiles y todas las repercusiones que los mismos traen como consecuencia en nuestra ...

Decentralization of the vertically integrated electrical power system can bring economic, reliability and environmental benefits to society. Microgrids are a step towards a more hybrid, less centralized power industry. A ...

This project will develop a Procedure for Feasibility and System Impact Studies to evaluate the interconnection of solar and wind generation projects. This structured procedure includes the methodology, reliability and ...

This thesis presents design and planning methods for the development of microgrids in remote communities using renewable energy resources. The analysis is not only limited to the economic point of view, but also covers the ...

La red eléctrica es una parte fundamental del desarrollo socioeconómico de un país. Hoy en día, el sector eléctrico enfrenta desafíos importantes debido a mayor uso de fuentes de energía renovables. La generación distribuida ...

The interconnection of Distributed Generation (DG) units to a utility grid changes the configuration of traditional distribution networks. Today, DG has been one of the key driving forces in the evolution of distribution ...
