SOTO CALVO, Manuel Alejandro; VILARAGUT LLANES, Miriam  e  CASTRO FERNANDEZ, Miguel. Participatory methodology for the design of micro-grids in Cuba. Energética [online]. 2024, vol.45, n.1, pp. 75-88.  Epub 30-Mar-2024. ISSN 1815-5901.

The implementation of Renewable Energy Sources is becoming more and more pertinent in all areas and sectors of society but, fundamentally, in rural communities that are far from the national electrical system, due to the complexity of the lives of those people who lack energy electrical. This precise reality, not only from research carried out by technical sciences but also from a social approach that allows knowing the particularities of each of these systems and their inhabitants. This research is aimed at carrying out a study of the social environment that surrounds rural contexts and the application of micro grids in these to promote local development and eradicate sociocultural and political problems caused by the lack of access to a quality electric service and reliability. As well as, proposing a participatory methodology with social considerations for the design of electric micro grids under the realities of rural populations in Cuba and obtaining an integrating result that meets the expectations and needs of its beneficiaries and is sustainable over time. Other methodologies are also applied to obtain data that correspond to qualitative and quantitative methodologies such as: documentary analysis, structured and semi-structured interviews, surveys and the problem tree.

Palavras-chave : micro-grids; renewable energy sources; rural communities; social appropriation; technological appropriation; participative methodology.
