Abstract
In this work, the design methodology of the system is shown, counting on sources of energy from wind, solar and, energy from biomass combustion. In addition, a seawater desalination system was integrated by the reverse osmosis method to make it drinkable. This study was based on a theoretical method consulting data and both quantitative and qualitative sources, thus making it a non-experimental type of work, since it is a proposal of a design for possible implementation. It began with the preselection of the most suitable area where climatic, geographical, demographic, social aspects and, the potential of the renewable energies already mentioned were considered. The city of Santa Marta, Magdalena, was selected as it offered the best design features. In each selected source, the possible products that the corresponding equipment could offer (in this case electricity and drinking water) were calculated, where it was concluded that biomass energy is the most economical in terms of cost / kW considering only the cost of equipment when generating 9.89 MW with a cost of 297 USD / kW. Finally, it was obtained that the total electrical energy generated by the system is 16.67 MW and desalinated water is 1,793 m3 / h, which can be translated into providing electricity to 3,023 homes and drinking water to 12,824 homes, respectively. In addition, an estimated cost of the equipment of the system was carried out, where it was obtained that the initial investment would be approximately $21 million without considering the land and other infrastructure.
