Publisher Description

Abstract:
This work aims to provide a solution for the diversification of the Chilean energy matrix with a focus on renewable energies. The research is embedded in the project called Risk Habitat Megacity, which investigates the development of urban settlements in the context of their sustainability. The first part explains the importance of cities and their link as energy consumption centers in the Chilean context. A historical analysis of the energy situation describes the three energy crisis the country has suffered from and how to overcome the energy shortages. Chile has recently changed its policy framework in favor of Renewable Energies. The electricity sector is a vital element of the analysis, as only a well-designed and competitive market allows the integration of renewable energies. The fourth chapter discusses measurements and shows a path into a more sustainable development, with enhanced energy security, a lower import dependency, but with the necessity for the Chilean government to develop a comprehensive long-term energy policy framework, that includes energy policy and energy efficiency programs alike. This investigation is an initial attempt.

Resumen:
Este proyecto tiene como objetivo proveer una solución para la matriz energética de Chile enfocando en las energías renovables. La investigación forma parte del proyecto "Risk Habitat Megacity", que investiga el desarrollo de asentamientos urbanos en el contexto de la sustentabilidad. La primera parte explica la importancia de las ciudades y su conexión como centros de consumo energético en Chile. Un análisis histórico de la situación energética analiza las crisis energéticas que sufrió el país y cómo afrontar las escasez de energía. Chile ha cambiado recientemente su marco político a favor de las energías renovables. El sector de energía eléctrica es un elemento vital del análisis, ya que sólo un mercado bien diseñado y competitivo permite la integración de las energías renovables. Las mediciones discutidas en el capítulo cuatro muestran un camino hacia un desarrollo sostenible, mejorando la seguridad energética, dependiendo en menor medida de la importación, pero con la necesidad de que el gobierno chileno desarrolle un marco político-energético, que incluya políticas energéticas como los programas para la eficiencia energética. Esta investigación brinda una contribución inicial.
