Development of a remote management system for low power gensets, ups and pv systems (Under 200kw)

Abstract

The diversification of the energy matrix using non-conventional sources as well as reliability and safety regulatory requirements, demands cost-efficient management systems for commercial, residential or industrial generation under 200kW. There are several remote management systems in the market including ARTIMO, a solution in Latin America by EQUITEL, with application in high power stationary and mobile systems (> 200kW). This article presents the development of a low-power adaptation of an ARTIMO prototype, (<200kW) with low-cost criteria, which also allows for application to photovoltaic systems under 50kW to integrate FNCER systems in the market. The review of the state of the art, installation requirements, design and prototype testing carried out within the framework of the technological development project are presented.
