Abstract
The present work proposes a methodology for the selection and sizing of rural microgrids in small communities improving the traditional solution of the generator group with the incorporation of renewable energies. The methodology includes four stages, the data collection, the definition of the system, the optimization and the selection of the best option. The HOMER Pro software is used to perform economic optimization. Finally, the rural school of Santa Bárbara in the Puertas del Sol area in the department of San Martín of the Province of San Luis, Argentina, is presented as a case study.Fil: Catuogno, Guillermo Ricardo.
