Renewable Electrification for Chiloé Islands

Abstract: Small scale renewable electricity is technically feasible but not massively available yet. Many different initiatives are taking place around the world taking solar based systems to un-electrified villages1. These types of systems could be enhanced by including other re-newable resources available in the vicinity. In fact areas with low solar radiation have no ap-propriate solution yet.To address this problem this thesis proposes a robust, user-friendly, renewable generator sys-tem appropriate for isolated housing, based on the study case of the islands of Chiloé, southern Chile. This system would address the demand of a single dwelling and aim to be movable and cost effective. The system includes complementary generator sources to offer a more stable supply and be suitable for the conditions of the islands of Chiloé. It is interesting to evaluate the possibilities of combining:
