Abstract

Ecuador may face an accelerated energy transition in the next 15 years due to the reduction of its oil reserves, affecting industries that require oil derivatives. To achieve a transition toward renewable energy without affecting the industry, this research proposed a technoeconomic evaluation of a hybrid system with solar flat plate collectors and photovoltaic modules that drive an absorption chiller and a compression chiller. The system supplies heat, cooling, and electricity to the winemaking industry in Ecuador. The best results for the hybrid systems reached a levelized cost of energy (LCOEn) of 0.171 USD/kWh and 0.157 USD/kWh in Guayaquil and Quito, respectively. For both locations, the LCOEn for the hybrid systems represents a decrease of the LCOEn of 53% and 32% concerning the individual solar photovoltaic and solar thermal systems, respectively. Therefore, the proposed hybrid system has a significant potential to integrate solar energy into the industry sector.
