Technical-Economic Analysis of a Hybrid System with Renewable Sources

Abstract

The objective of this work was to develop a methodology that allows to perform a technical economic analysis of a hybrid system with renewable energy sources, as well as to evaluate both the technical feasibility and the economic profitability of implementing them in a specific location and in this way determine if the system is technically viable and if its implementation is economically possible.

The aim is to determine whether the installation of a hybrid system in the Crucita Parish of the Portoviejo canton is a technically and economically viable option. These types of systems, which combine solar energy with other renewable sources, can provide a sustainable energy source and contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

Subsequently, the Homer Pro program will be used to design the relevant simulation, which will allow us to introduce data such as electricity demand input, available natural resources and technologies in which we can study how various combinations of renewable systems respond to electricity needs.

According to the technical economic analysis, the implementation of a hybrid system that generates energy through renewable sources in the Crucita parish is a viable and advantageous alternative. This system would reduce energy costs in the long run and help take advantage of available renewable resources.

In addition, the project would have a favorable social impact by promoting local development and improving the quality of life of the community. The findings support the implementation of clean and sustainable energy as part of a comprehensive strategy to move towards a more responsible and sustainable energy future in the Crucita Parish of the Portoviejo canton.
