Óptima compensación fija de potencia reactiva en redes eléctricas de distribución basada en escenarios de demanda residencial.

Abstract

The aim of this work is to optimally compensate the reactive power in conditions of minimum, average and maximum demand at residential level. In addition to the impact on the voltage curve and power factor. To understand it, a mathematical analysis was established in order to determine the location and size of the fixed compensator, using a standard IEEE model with 15 busbars. The proposed process is done by the method of "taboo search", the application of this method will promote the optimal location and capacity of the fixed compensator by injecting reactive power in one of the nodes. In addition, the algorithm used in this work allows calculating the best solution and meeting the necessary requirements to ensure the energy quality of all parts of the SEP. By locating the compensator in an optimal way and increasing the power components (Cos φ), costs can be reduced and the volume of reagent can be balanced at the most critical point of the demand curve. Finally, a comparison of the uncompensated and compensated system data will be made, highlighting the improvement in voltage profiles and power factor.
