    Análisis de conductores de alto desempeño (HPC y HTLS) en la expansión de sistemas de transmisión de energía eléctrica
    (Universidad de Cuenca, 2025-09-25) Barrionuevo Ortega, Daniel Enrique; Torres Contreras, Santiago Patricio
    The sustained growth in electricity demand and the technical limitations of transmission networks have driven the need for innovative technologies that enhance system efficiency and reliability without requiring major infrastructure investments. In this context, high-performance conductors (HTLS) emerge as a viable alternative to conventional ones, as they allow operation at higher temperatures without compromising mechanical stability or operational safety. This thesis evaluates the incorporation of HTLS conductors in power system expansion through a comparative technical-economic approach using three representative test systems. To solve the expansion planning problem, a metaheuristic was implemented in combination with an AC optimal power flow model using MATPOWER. The selection of candidate lines was based on technical and economic criteria, and scenarios with different cost proportions for HTLS conductors were analyzed to assess the feasibility of their implementation and the potential advantages they could bring to the grid, such as reducing investment costs or increasing system loadability.
