Planificación de redes eléctricas de distribución mediante algoritmos metaheurísticos considerando criterios de confiabilidad

Abstract

This degree project aims to propose a methodology for planning electrical distribution networks in consolidated urban areas through the development and implementation of a computational tool developed in Matlab®; The proposed methodology focuses on the optimal configuration of the medium voltage network and the location of the transformation centers, considering reliability criteria and using as input parameters the existing information in the databases of the geographic information systems (GIS). ) from electricity distribution companies. This proposal is based on the application of several optimization metaheuristic algorithms. The optimization process is subject to compliance with the limits established in regulation No. ARCERNNR-002/20 called "Quality of the electric power distribution and marketing service" issued by the Agency for the Regulation and control of Energy and Non-Renewable Natural Resources. [1]. In order to verify the operation of the proposed system, the application of the methodology is carried out in an urban sector supplied by the 1222 feeder networks of the Empresa Eléctrica Regional Centrosur C.A. The results obtained will allow verifying the optimal functioning of the computational tool and In this way, optimize the planning process of the distribution systems of the consolidated areas.
