Nowadays, the sustainability of micro-grids has received much attention in the research community since micro-grids are becoming an appealing alternative to provide clean energy access to rural communities, and by this token, contribute to overcome energy poverty. The aim of this paper was to investigate the sustainability of micro-grids through the analysis of their resilience. In this regard, an integrated framework was developed combining socio-technical transitions with socio-ecological resilience concepts. This allows to pay attention at once to two dimensions of micro-grid sustainability: (i) the ability of the micro-grid to effectively transform the relationship between community, energy, and territory to make it more sustainable in economic, social and environmental terms; (ii) the sustainability of the micro-grid itself, namely, its ability to endure, adapt to and recover from changes in contextual factors which may limit its operativity over time. Methodological guidelines are offered for the participatory co-construction and monitoring of the micro-grid and its monitoring, supporting both dimensions. To illustrate our proposal, the micro-grid installed in Huatacondo, north of Chile, was used as test-bed.

通过微电网克服能源贫困:有弹性的,参与性的社会技术转型的综合框架

如今,微电网的可持续性已在研究界引起了广泛关注,因为微电网已成为向农村社区提供清洁能源的吸引人的替代方法,并由此为克服能源贫困做出了贡献。本文的目的是通过分析微电网的弹性来研究其可持续性。在这方面,制定了一个综合框架,将社会技术过渡与社会生态复原力概念相结合。这样就可以立即关注微电网可持续性的两个方面:(i)微电网有效转变社区,能源和领土之间的关系,使其在经济,社会和环境方面更具可持续性的能力; (ii)微电网本身的可持续性,即 它的持久性,适应性以及从上下文因素的变化中恢复的能力,这些变化可能会限制其随着时间的推移的可操作性。为参与性共建和监测微电网及其监测提供了方法学指南,支持这两个方面。为了说明我们的建议,将安装在智利北部Huatacondo的微电网用作试验台。
