Abstract

The purpose of this research is to determine the feasibility of supplying photovoltaic solar energy for the electrical requirements of drinking water and wastewater treatment plants, in six regions of Colombia, with different geographic and climatological conditions: Andean Region, Amazon Region, Orinoquía Region, Caribbean Region, Pacific Region, and Insular Region. The study revealed that the costs of the photovoltaic systems oscillate between USD 32,486.86 and USD 40,716.86, without using a storage system with batteries, since the price of these makes the investment recovery unfeasible. Instead of using batteries to store energy, a water storage system is used. The total daily load of the sanitation systems is 57 kWh/day, which would avoid 7120.44 kgCO2 per year. Besides, during the entire useful life of the 20-year project, 142.4 tCO2 would not be released into the environment.

Abstract

This paper presents a novel model to evaluate the power output of a building integrated photovoltaic system (BIPVS) operating in the Andean Range.  The Optimal Power Flow (OPF) model optimizes the power output of the BIPVS within an electrical system without violating operational limits.  The model is validated with the experimental performance of a 6 kW BIPVS installed in Bogota, Colombia. The meteorological data affect the power flow. The model is evaluated under sunny and rainy days to characterize the photovoltaic array performance. The results showed that the AC PV-energy generation was 5,904 kWh/year for 2017 and that there is a correlation factor of 99.87% between the experimental power flow and the proposed model.
