Compensación de potencia reactiva en sistemas de distribución mediante el uso de banco de capacitores.

Abstract

In this work, a general objective is presented, which is the search for a location technique for the optimal reactive power compensation using artificial intelligence, in order to develop a solution tool for the problem of location optimization and capacity estimation. of capacitor banks. Various reactive power compensation methods are used and even a combination of some. We will implement the genetic algorithm technique since it allows a more exact formulation of the problem thrown, which will provide us with higher quality solutions, for its technique and its location, generating that the distribution system obtains an improvement in the power voltage profile and reducing power losses. The developed program is supported on MATLAB software and an example system (IEEE of 33 Bars) was used to carry out the study in a distribution system. This allowed us to run the power flow and allowed us to get all the data from the initial system. The algorithm has the ability to minimize active power losses in the system, improving voltage profiles and therefore system reliability.
