Análisis técnico y regulatorio para la implementación del mercado de servicios complementarios en el sistema eléctrico Ecuatoriano : análisis de propuesta de una metodología para la implementación del mercado de servicios complementarios en el sistema eléctrico ecuatoriano.

Abstract

The fundamental objective of the electricity sector is to satisfy the conditions of reliability, safety and quality for users, but privatization, deregulation of certain functions of the sector and the subsequent turn towards statism have caused certain services to disappear or not to be provided the most efficient and transparent way.For this reason, in international markets they seek the adequate management of the electricity industry, guaranteeing the continuity of the service, its quality and reliability; for this, complementary services markets have been created where voltage and frequency control services, energy storage, start-up of generators on islands, etc. are valued and acquired. Complementary services fundamentally help the system to provide the service to consumers or users with quality and safety conditions. The electrical system could be considered composed of two types of markets: a basic one and a complementary one, but it must be taken into account that both markets are indispensable and necessary to each other. There are different types of complementary services such as: system programming and dispatch services, load monitoring services, energy imbalance services, system protection services, reactive power and voltage control services, and loss compensation services; all of these are necessary components for the reliable and safe operation of the electrical system. The complementary services are defined as fundamental: autonomous starting, voltage control and frequency control. In the case of the Ecuadorian system, the complementary services of frequency control and voltage control will be taken into account, the frequency control system primary and secondary frequency control will be discussed.
