Mejora del factor de potencia mediante óptima ubicación y dimensionamiento de Dstatcom en redes de distribución aplicando el método de enjambre de partículas

Abstract

This paper is focused on finding an optimal location for a Dstatcom based on the particle swarm method, which allows improving the power factor without altering the other parameters of the Electrical Power System (EPS), in addition to dimensioning Dstatcom based on the best results in the 34-bus IEEE distribution system. For locating the best bar and installing the compensator, an exhaustive search is performed by implementing Dstatcom with the best capacity in each bus and analyzing its power flows based on a parameter called objective function. With the data obtained, we proceed to feed the particle swarm algorithm, which allows to check the response obtained in the previous analysis and finally to propose a result based on the improvement of the power factor in the distribution system.
