Popis: Universal access to electrical energy, specifically non-polluting energy, is one of the United Nations Organization Sustainable Development Goals, due to its impact on human and economic development. Even with the significant advances in the electricity sector in the Dominican Republic, there are sectors of the population without access to electricity, as is the case of the San Pablo 2 community in the municipality of La Victoria in Santo Domingo Norte. This article proposes using an interconnected microgrid, with photovoltaic (PV) solar generation and a storage system with lithium-ion batteries for the electrification of San Pablo 2 and the determination of the technical-economic feasibility of the proposed microgrid design using the HOMER and DIgSILENT. The results show the microgrid’s optimal configuration, considering the net present cost, leveled cost of energy, and energy availability. Similarly, the distribution of the components and loads to obtain a voltage behavior and a technically acceptable margin of losses.
