Análisis de escenarios de penetración de energías renovables para promover la movilidad sostenible en la ciudad de Quito : análisis de escenarios de penetración de sistemas renovables en la matriz energética ecuatoriana para la carga de vehículos eléctricos en la ciudad de Quito.

Abstract

The purpose of this research project is to analyze the variation in the electrical matrix resulting from the electrification of private transportation in the city of Quito and evaluate the possibility of satisfying the increase in electrical demand using photovoltaic energy. This will be achieved by determining the current electricity demand profile and comparing it with possible projections to 2050 when considering scenarios of daytime charging in workplaces and nighttime charging in homes. Additionally, two electric vehicle growth scenarios are evaluated: one that follows the current trend known as Business as Usual (BAU) and another that projects a 25% reduction in current growth. With this information, the variation in electrical demand due to electromobility is estimated. To meet this new demand, a photovoltaic system is sized using the System Advisor Model (SAM) software from the United States National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). The results indicate that with a 10 km² photovoltaic field it is possible to supply the energy requirement for charging electric vehicles in the city of Quito, specifically in the scenario that contemplates charging in workplaces from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., for the two vehicle growth scenarios proposed.
