This article focuses on designing a renewable energy control system for a household self-consumption network, combining solar and hydroelectric energy to meet the energy demand of a standard home. We conducted an exhaustive analysis of each energy source, evaluating parameters such as solar radiation, optimal tilt of photovoltaic panels, and conversion system efficiency. Equipment for this system is selected based on the characteristics obtained in the study. Hydroelectric energy is also analyzed, considering variables such as flow rate and height of the water resource, selecting optimal equipment to maximize hydroelectric production and complement solar energy. An integrated control system is designed and implemented, efficiently managing the production and consumption of renewable energy, helping to optimize the use of energy produced, manage demand, and coordinate renewable systems. A cost-effective design is sought with a functional control system to ensure optimal management of energy resources.

Keywords: Renewable energies, solar energy, hydroelectric energy, control system, energy management, performance improvement
