This paper simulates by using the Homer
software, a distributed energy system with capacity
below 1 MW. Among the renewable energy sources
are used wind and solar energy. For photovoltaic
panels, we are considering two situations: fixed panels,
oriented at 45° and panels with tracking system with
two axis. Simulation results contain information
regarding operation hours of the system throughout
the year, energy produced from the renewable energy
sources, energy consumption for the load, and excess
of electrical energy. The Homer software also allows
an economic analysis of these systems.
