Modelación y simulación de un sistema híbrido de almacenamiento de energía eléctrica para la propulsión de embarcaciones tipo taxis en Puerto Ayora

Abstract

In the present work the modeling and simulation of an electrical energy storage hybrid system has been performed, using batteries and super capacitors that offer taxi service for people in Academia Bay, Puerto Ayora, Santa Cruz-Galápagos. This study aims to decrease the use of fossil fuels through electric propulsion systems in Galapagos Islands. In order to achieve this objective, the storage system needs to be optimized using an objective function that allows decreasing energy use and price. It should be emphasized that this work focuses on finding the optimal sizing of the storage system, since the weight is critical in the boat displacement.
