Design Methodology of Off-Grid PV Solar Powered Systems for Rural Areas in Ecuador

Alan Cuenca Sánchez, Cristina Oña, Ismael Suquillo, Henry Miniguano · 2023 · Revista Técnica Energía

Summary. This paper presents a design methodology for off-grid solar photovoltaic systems tailored to rural Ecuador, where grid access is limited or impractical. The authors developed simulation models in Matlab/Simulink for systems combining photovoltaic modules, charge controllers, batteries, and inverters. They created a maximum power point tracking algorithm and battery control system, then built a practical sizing tool in Excel to help implement these systems in rural communities.
