Resumen

Microgrids are compact energy systems that integrate renewable sources, such as photovoltaic and wind power, to provide sustainable energy solutions. Microgrids require Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems to maintain reliable and efficient operation. This paper introduces a novel, cost-effective, open-source SCADA system tailored for microgrid applications. Implemented on a simulated microgrid with renewable energy inputs, the system leverages a Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) synchronization mechanism for seamless grid integration. The system achieves robust data interfacing, real-time monitoring, and historical data archiving using Matlab-Simulink with an OPC Server and SQL database. Comparative analyses with existing SCADA systems demonstrate its superior cost-effectiveness and adaptability, contributing to sustainable energy accessibility in developing regions like Peru.
