Sustainable development goals
Energy self-sufficiency involves generating enough electrical energy for own use without relying on external sources. This practice is gaining popularity, driven by European directives that promote the transition to renewable energies. Self-consumption systems seek to reduce dependence on the grid and minimize environmental impact. Different renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, are used to achieve this goal.

INASOLAR: Infrastructure for sustainable electricity self-supply with renewable sources of the municipality of Aras de los Olmos
Photovoltaic solar energy
- Available in any place, especially those of high irradiance
- Low price
- It is not manageable and only produces during sunlight hours.
Hydroelectric
energy
- Available in a great part of the territories with moderate winds
- Production during several hours of the day if there is wind
- Unmanageable and with high variability
Biogas
energy
- Manageable
- Stable voltage waveform via synchronous generator
- Improves power system stability
- Requires large land areas
Hydroelectric
energy
- Manageable
- Can be used for storage of surplus energy
- High cost and high environmental impact
Our project for
the energy autonomy
INASOLAR is presented as a pioneering R+D+i project, which aims to develop the necessary infrastructure to achieve self-sufficiency in the municipality of Aras de los Olmos, located in the province of Valencia. It is intended thet the system can be replicated by other municipalities seeking to be self-sufficient, with the numerous benefits that it brings.
