dc.descriptionEste estudio analiza el diseño, la viabilidad y el comportamiento sistémico de las comunidades de energía solar en Colombia, utilizando dinámica de sistemas para identificar las condiciones que favorecen su éxito. A través de diagramas causales y modelos de niveles y flujos, se identifican bucles de retroalimentación dominantes y puntos de palanca que influyen en su sostenimiento largo plazo.
dc.description.abstractThis study focuses on the design, feasibility, and systemic behavior of solar energy communities in Colombia, using a system dynamics approach to explore the conditions under which these initiatives can thrive. Through the construction of causal loop diagrams and stock-and-flow models, the research identifies dominant feedback loops and systemic leverage points that influence the long-term sustainability of these communities. A web-based tool was developed to assess financial viability by calculating key indicators such as CAPEX, OPEX, ROI, payback period, and the levelized cost of electricity, under both private and public funding scenarios. The findings reveal that while energy communities are viable in Colombia, their success is highly sensitive to external incentives and structural conditions. The study contributes to the existing literature by integrating dynamic systems modeling with economic evaluation, offering practical insights for Colombian policymakers, community leaders, and public institutions. It also provides a methodological foundation for future research focused on regulatory design, participatory planning, and long-term project resilience in the Colombian energy transition.
