| description | Energy is a fundamental tool for human development and this paper presents an approach that seeks to improve its use in Colombian off-grid communities. This approach is based on microgrid concepts where generation, storage, and consumption units interact with each other, and these interactions are presented through a linear programming model. In this approach, specific strategies are implemented according to the Colombian context, where some isolated communities already have diesel-based solutions for energy access, and the type of element that is studied, finding that the proposed optimization model is capable of adequately managing the loads of the microgrid,, thus improving the way in which the generated energy is stored and used through said horizon. Finally, different characteristics of the model are evaluated against multiple indicators and it is concluded that there may be much more specific strategies that improve its operation. |
