Software for the Calculation of Otimization and Technical-Economical Viability for Pumping Stations with the Integration of Renewable Energies.

Abstract

The wind power energy, in addition to the problem related to its randomness, has the disadvantage which it needs a high electrical infrastructure, what means that wind power generating systems must be made with great number of machines to assure its yield. It is also necessary an important infrastructure in the electrical net, and it is the main reason which explain the bureaucratic disadvantages for connecting the wind turbines to the net. Nevertheless, if it is considered its integration with other systems, sharing part of the infrastructure, its cost of installation diminishes and its yield increases, still with smaller number of machines and equivalent hours. In this paper it’s shown a computer science tool that studies the combination of a large pumping station for irrigation with renewable power supports. This tool analyzes the optimal dimensions of all elements of the installation, as well as it considers the economic returns that will be derived from its operation. This study has been done in the area of “Andorra” (Teruel, Spain)
