Desarrollo de una aplicación para almacenamiento de datos y solución de flujos de potencia incorporando dispositivos FACTS y transmisión HVDC

Abstract

This work includes the development of a computational application used for power flows solution incorporating FACTS controllers and VSC-HVDC transmission, using an open source programming language. The developed application is composed by a GUI (Graphical User Interface) that allows the user to interact directly with the program components, also it uses a database to store the network data and the results obtained from the power flow. Additionally, it includes the development of a program written in DPL language corresponding to the commercial software DIgSILENT PowerFactory®, which allows to obtain the network data from a previously modeled system and store them in a text file to later use them as the input data of the developed application. The concepts involved in the development of each application component, as well as its design stages are described in detail. Furthermore, the operation principle and the steady-state mathematical models of FACTS controllers: SVC, STATCOM, TCSC, as well as the HVDC transmission are briefly described in order to address only the parameters used within Newton-Raphson algorithm for power flows solution.
