This article analyzes the scientific literature that has been produced on the modeling and simulation of power systems with renewable energy penetration. It is by means of a documentary review of the works that have been published by the researcher in question that we synthesized the most innovative aspects of such studies and the tools that were used, in order to make a valuable contribution to the search for optimal solutions to operational and planning problems that can be seen in electrical systems due to the increasing penetration of renewable energy sources.
This review was addressed through the grouping of scientific material according to the following sub-themes: renewable energy in Latin America and Colombia; uncertainty modeling of solar and wind systems, small hydroelectric plants, and electric vehicles; and heuristic optimization applied to power systems with renewable energy penetration.
From this, we exposed both the applicability and the benefits of the development of mathematical formulations, usually complex, which guarantee the robustness, stability, efficiency, flexibility, and profitability of these systems.
As a result of the application of the uncertainty modeling that was proposed in networks similar to those that were identified, we obtained the simplified compilation of an invaluable baggage of particularly useful knowledge to evaluate the integration of renewable energy technologies in any economic sector.
