Energy Transaction Model Applying Distributed Generation in Medium Voltage Power Grids

This work presents an energy transaction management model that allows visualizing the energy balance behavior over the course of a year, considering photovoltaic generation and an industrial-type demand for distributed generation systems in medium voltage electrical grids. The model is based on the guidelines of Regulation No. ARCERNNR-001/2021 of Ecuador, and photovoltaic generation is estimated using stochastic simulation. The model enables the generation of production and consumption scenarios, thus visualizing the energy balance behavior. Additionally, the impact on electrical parameters is shown with the incorporation of distributed generation into a grid, considering two scenarios: one where the photovoltaic system is connected at the same point as the demand, and another where it is connected at a different point but within the same grid. The modeling provides a perspective on energy behavior, both in terms of energy balance and electrical parameters, demonstrating improvements in economic aspects and grid strengthening. It ensures that the incorporation of distributed generation is appropriate, viable, and feasible.
