Evaluación Técnica de una Microred de Energía Renovable Solar-Baterías, en el Laboratorio de Testeo del Parque Tecnológico de Guatiguará

Abstract

Within the framework of this project, a solar energy microgrid has been developed with an off-grid topology, which implies its disconnection from the conventional electrical grid. To carry out the monitoring of this microgrid, the Home Assistant home automation system has been used, which has proven to be an optimal solution. Home Assistant, an open-source project, is distinguished by its versatility and has numerous add-ons that make it ideal for both residential applications and small industries. Microgrid monitoring focuses on critical variables, such as current and voltage, allowing accurate analysis of power consumption in real time. This approach is particularly valuable for households and industries that want to emancipate themselves from dependence on traditional electric companies. The ability to access real-time data on energy consumption offers the opportunity to implement responsible consumption and energy saving practices, which, in turn, contributes to the reduction of the carbon footprint. In a broader context, this project not only represents a technological and energy breakthrough, but also has significant social implications. The implementation of photovoltaic microgrids in non-interconnected areas can improve the living conditions of communities, reduce the carbon footprint and promote energy independence. These initiatives are aligned with the growing acceptance of renewable energies in Colombia and its positive impact on the environment and the economy. In summary, this project represents an important step towards a more sustainable and responsible energy future.
