Optimización de plantas hidroeléctricas para abastecer poblaciones rurales en Honduras

Resumen

El acceso a la electricidad sigue siendo un desafío para una gran parte de la población de Honduras. En un país con una población rural fuertemente diseminada en pequeñas comunidades, la naturaleza montañosa de la Cordillera Centroamericana se traduce en limitaciones para extender el sistema eléctrico. Desde 2003, la Fundación Hondureña de Investigación Agrícola (FHIA) combate estas dificultades instalando sistemas hidráulicos en pequeñas comunidades rurales. Sin embargo, la limitación provoca un amplio margen de mejora de estos sistemas rudimentarios. Este trabajo presenta una estrategia de mejora y optimización matemática de la metodología tradicional de diseño, permitiendo aprovechar al máximo los recursos naturales de estas comunidades. La nueva metodología se ha aplicado con éxito en una comunidad piloto. Las ventajas de esta metodología han sido tales que ha sido implementada por los técnicos de FHIA para ser replicada en las intervenciones sucesivas.
