Roadmap for the introduction of smart grids in Ecuador

Abstract:

For the next few years Ecuador must face different challenges aimed at achieving the country's development on a sustainable basis to ensure the equitable growth of society, among the most significant are: the increase in demand for electricity with a projection of a 55% in the 2005-2030 period; Face the trend of using more environmentally friendly technologies; High energy prices; Reduction of losses and; Combining the principles of distributed generation (GD) with the national interconnected system (SNI), making the large-scale technical scale of the centralized system more reduced and manageable [1]. Among the goals that must be achieved can be mentioned: the elevation of the reliability and quality of the electric service; Achieve the operational stability of the system; To reduce the environmental effects derived from the generation, transportation, distribution and supply of electric energy; Increase levels of efficiency by reducing losses and making greater use of available sources; Adequately articulate an efficient energy market, incorporating the customer into the generation of their own energy and control of consumption. The trend is towards assimilating a new form of operation of the National Interconnected System through the increasingly important assimilation of distributed generation, technologies associated with intelligent micro grids and the presence of renewable energy sources, which will require Of an adequacy of the preparation of the operators of the system, allowing them to adequately manage the characteristics of the new technologies and the new sources that are incorporated.
