Reconfiguração e alocação ótima de geração distribuída em sistemas de energia elétrica

Abstract

This work presents a methodology for optimal reconfiguration and optimal distributed generation allocation aiming to minimize technical energy losses in electric power distribution systems. The proposed methodology includes two step by step heuristic algorithms, based on sensitivity indexes, one for the reconfiguration and the other for the distributed generation allocation. The index proposed for reconfiguration is based on operating parameters and the index for distributed generation allocation uses the Lagrange multipliers obtained from the power flow solution. The proposed model considers the demand variation from the system load curves and the options to build a new branch for connecting a distributed generator to a bus of the network. The proposed algorithms are applied in systems of the literature, including a medium scale practical system.
