Abstract
This paper aims to present a new proposal for the generation of sustainable electricity for the metropolitan area of Asuncion, Paraguay, based on a renewable source of energy. This generation will be done mainly during peak hours in order to reduce the power contracted by the National Electricity Administration (ANDE) in existing power plants and thereby reduce costs and simultaneously stabilize voltage profiles in transmission and distribution in the area of Asuncion. Electricity would be generated by implementing photovoltaic panels on street lighting luminaries. Additionally would be reduced power consumption by distributing low consumption light bulbs to residential consumers. Both strategies would reduce by 200 MW the contracted capacity of the Itaipu power plant at peak hours. The main advantage for the implementation of such projects is the relatively high level of global solar radiation reaching per day in average in Asuncion and surrounding around 5 kWh/m2 making viable in the short and medium term the use of solar energy for electricity generation combined with the use of low consumption light bulbs. With this project ANDE could save annually up to US$ 40million in respect of the purchase of power at the Itaipu power plant.. The investment of about US$ 156 million would be repaid within 10 years and will have an IRR of 8% and a NPV of US$ 134 million.
