Reducción de pérdidas y de la duración de las interrupciones en alimentadores primarios mediante su reconfiguración óptima. Estudio de caso de la Empresa Eléctrica Riobamba

Abstract

The actual regulation of the electricity sector seeks to regulate the quality and reliability of the service provided by the distribution companies to the users. Hence, for the distribution companies it becomes fundamental to know in detail the operating conditions of the system in normal state and during contingencies. In this perspective, to have an efficient control of loss levels, as well as to reduce the duration of interruptions, is necesary to determine actions that increase the efficiency of the electric power supply. In the present work, by means of an evaluation and comparative analysis of the Shirmohammadi and Goswami methodologies to reduce loss through reconfiguration, a method is proposed which combines the best characteristics of these, this method increases the efficiency and the quality of the results found. In addition , a resolution method is proposed for the problema of the restoration of the service with a minimum number of operations, which corresponds to a result derived from the solution to the problem of reduction of losses, in which it is directed to take priority in avoiding changes in the initial states of the switches, either normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC).
