Análisis técnico y regulatorio para la implementación del mercado de servicios complementarios en el sistema eléctrico ecuatoriano : desarrollar una propuesta técnica para la creación de un mercado de servicios complementarios para el Ecuador.

Abstract

The electricity industry worldwide, fundamentally in the public sector, is being restructured. In the Ecuadorian case, said restructuring began in the 1990s under the responsibility of the National Institute of Electrification (INECEL), starting from generation to distribution, currently under the responsibility of the National Center for Energy Control (CENACE). The fundamental objective of the electricity sector is to satisfy the conditions of reliability, safety and quality for users, but the privatization and deregulation of certain functions of the sector discriminate against services. For this reason, in international markets they seek the adequate management of the electricity industry, an adequate method of management is the complementary services since these ensure the supply of energy. Complementary services fundamentally help the system to provide the service to consumers or users. Said service helps with quality and safety conditions. In Ecuador there is regulation No. ARCERNNR-005/20, which according to article 21 deals with the commercial treatment of complementary services, where it divides into primary and secondary regulation of frequency and reactive start-stop of turbo-steam units. However, there is no market for complementary services as such. Therefore, in this project, the technical feasibility of a market for complementary services in the Ecuadorian Electric System will be studied, based on an analysis of the models of complementary services markets of different regions worldwide.
