Algoritmo para restauração de sistemas de distribuição baseado em busca por alimentadores adjacentes

Abstract

This work proposes a method capable of promoting, in real time and automatically, the restoration of a radial distribution system after a contingency at any point, using only data easily obtained by the available protection and control equipments, such as: voltage, current, power factor and equipment status. Due to the automatic operation feature of the method, only the equipments with remote control installed in the network are considered. Many methods have been proposed for the problem of distribution systems restoration. However, most rely on network data that cannot be easily obtained, such as line impedance, load demand, and other data. In addition, the proposed restoration plans should normally be reviewed by the operator of Distribution Operations Center (DOC), so that he can then take the necessary steps to restore the system. The proposed method can be summarized as follows. After the protection device acts against a fault, the algorithm starts and identifies the affected area, promoting the isolation of the faulty sections. Once this is done, an analysis is made of the possibilities of system restoration, which is based on the selection of sections belonging to adjacent feeders of the affected area, which meet some restrictions. After the selection, all possible combinations to be performed with these sections are tested and the best solution is performed, which can be based on the largest number of loads restored or the restoration of the largest number of priority loads.
