Project Details

Description

The electricity generation of Costa Rica has been characterized to be sustainable and renewable. In 2021, Law 10086 is approved to Promote the Development of Renewable Energies, which reaffirms the country's position in renewable electricity generation, taking advantage of all available resources. The following research project proposal is focused on the analysis of the high penetration of renewable distributed generation in the transmission and distribution grid. For this reason, scenarios will be analyzed based on the results obtained in the research project: "Modeling of the future penetration of Electric Vehicles to carry out electrical and environmental studies for Costa Rica.", which for the following proposal will include self-consumption generation (from photovoltaic resources) and storage integration analyzed in the transmission and distribution grid. Several methods of analysis are proposed in power systems such as transient and voltage stability, and loadability from numerical methods for their analysis and with the use of specialized software in power systems. Nowadays, Costa Rica Power System has been modeled using ETAP and the distribution companies will provide the distribution system for the analyzes proposed in this project. The results will be outstanding for the future power planning, but they will position the TEC in the frame of reference that the Law for the Promotion and Regulation of Distributed Energy Resources from Renewable Sources will promote among the distribution companies, ARESEP and the Energies entities of Costa Rica.
