Compensación simultánea de potencias activa y reactiva en redes de distribución utilizando sistemas fotovoltaicos y bancos de capacitores mediante el algoritmo Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) para mejorar la calidad de potencia y la minimización de pérdidas

Abstract

This study developed a preliminary analysis based on its baseline case, which will serve as a comparative reference to determine the status of voltage profiles, the system's power factor, and power losses. For the second scenario, a photovoltaic system was integrated to observe its behavior at different penetration levels. Subsequently, the same scenario was evaluated with the incorporation of a capacitor bank as reactive compensation at different compensation levels to observe the behavior of the parameters to be evaluated.

Finally, the simultaneous compensation model using photovoltaic systems and capacitor banks was designed through the implementation of the Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) algorithm, with the aim of reducing losses, improving the voltage profile and the power factor of the system, also considering a basic economic reference included in the objective function together with the other parameters, as a guide for efficient and economical optimization.
