Economic Feasibility of Extending the Mains

Abstract:

In the town of Chone province of Manabí, Ecuador, the electric grid outspreads a distance greater than 15 km, through mountainous areas to reach and provide energy service to rural communities and inaccessible areas, there are other sources of energy that can be used instead the one they use. In areas to far from the grid, presenting potential of renewable energy sources which are available, and can be distributed in the territory eligible for technical initiative of the micro-grid way of distribution, thereby achieving and reducing losses at the same time ensuring quality electricity. At this study feasibility is taken into account the technical elements to exploit are given for the potential exploitation of solar and wind electricity generation through networked systems, autonomous systems, water pumping and public lighting.
