Abstract

This paper presents a series of enhancements to a previously proposed mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model for investment decisions and operational planning in distributed generation (DG) systems. The main contribution of this study consists of integrating a wind generation system and multiple loads at different buses in a network. The model considers dynamic weather data, energy prices, costs related to photovoltaic and wind systems, storage systems, operational and maintenance costs, and other pertinent factors, such as efficiencies, geographical locations, resource availability, and different load profiles. The simulation results obtained through implementation in Julia’s programming language illustrate that the MILP formulation maximizes the net present value, and four configurations for hybrid power generation systems in Mexico are analyzed. The objective is to enable profitability assessment for investments in large-capacity DG systems in two strategic zones of Mexico. The results show that the configurations in the NE zone, especially in Tamaulipas, are the most cost-effective. Case 1 stands out for its highest net present value and shortest payback time, while Case 2 offers the highest energy savings. In addition, Cases 3 and 4, which incorporate storage systems, exhibit the longest payback periods and the lowest savings, indicating less favorable economic performance compared with Cases 1 and 2. Moreover, the sales of two case studies, one without a storage system and the other with a storage system, are shown. The model also incorporates instruments for buying or selling energy in the wholesale electricity market, including variables that depict the injected energy into the electrical grid. This comprehensive approach provides a detailed overview of optimal energy management.
