Evaluación de sistemas híbridos de generación de energía eléctrica. Caso Islas Galápagos.

Abstract

A degree work is presented on the subject of renewable energy, in the Galapagos archipelago a specific case of Isabela Island The Galapagos Islands are a natural sanctuary due to the immense richness of the diversity of biological species, which is why the United Nations Organization for Education, Science and Culture (UNESCO) declared them in 1978 as a World Heritage Site. A few years ago, the consumption of diesel in electricity generators caused potential problems, so energy projects were developed to reduce its consumption by using renewable energy, thus reducing dependence on fuel supply, in order to minimize CO2 emissions. The methodology to be used It is documentary in that it describes the use of renewable energy to generate electricity in the Galapagos Islands. Likewise, statistical figures of the executed projects are also investigated. The analytical method is used to evaluate data on CO2 reduction by electricity projects with photovoltaic and bi-fuel systems on Isabela Island.
