The operation of wind and photovoltaic farms in Panama´s national power grid began in 2014. This paper shows the effect that these renewable energy inputs have been in Panama’s generation power system, using a production cost minimization algorithm. To represent this generation power system, we used historical data of actual power plants and simulations of future wind and photovoltaic generation projects. Planning is done through mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP). The implementation of this model is illustrated through case studies for a representative day of each month of the year. First a base case study is described for a hydro-thermal generation power system as it existed in 2013. Next was added wind and photovoltaic generation. The objective was to observe the behavior of the generation power system after this integration. Two scenarios were investigated. In the first case study wind and photovoltaic generation was integrated into a hydro-thermal generation power system. In the second case study a gas power plant (expected to begin operations in 2018) is integrated into a wind and photovoltaic generation power system. The results in daily dispatch are used as a tool for annual planning, considering the reserve requirements from the study and the cost of energy (COE) |
