Evaluación de la metodología para el cálculo de la energía firme de plantas eólicas y solares fotovoltaicas en Colombia

The CREG (Energy and Gas Regulation Commission) has defined a specific methodology for calculating the firm energy of wind and solar photovoltaic plants in Resolution 167 and 201 of 2017. The firm energy consists of a mechanism of the electricity market in Colombia to guarantee the supply of energy in periods of scarcity. Usually, the valuation of firm energy in Colombia depends on the availability of fuel and the plant factor of the generation plant. However, with sources that take advantage of renewable resources, such as photovoltaic power plants, the assessment of firm energy depends on an intermittent resource. The resolution of the CREG defines to estimate the energy of a solar plant in four steps, first, to calculate the monthly firm energy; second, calculate the energy per day for each month; in the third step, obtain the lowest value of energy obtained per day and finally, calculate the ENFICC (Firm Energy for the Reliability Charge) according to a use factor. To determine the firm energy, we obtain the energy data from a Davis Vantage meteorological station located in the rural area of Yumbo belonging to EPSA, for the months of the year 2017. For the calculation of the EFICC wind in resolution167, we have two ways for the calculation. The first for plants with wind information less than 10 years and for plants with wind information equal to or greater than 10 years as indicated by the resolution. On the other hand, the remuneration for firm energy could encourage the integration of new renewable power plants in Colombia. This article makes an evaluation of Resolution 167 and 201 of 2017 including all the details and carries out a case study to calculate the firm energy of a 100 MW wind plant and 10MW solar photovoltaic
