Estrategia de reconexión inteligente en sistemas de distribución utilizando metaheurística: estudio aplicado al sistema IEEE-33 barras

Abstract

This paper proposes and evaluates an advanced system reconfiguration scheme designed to improve the continuity of electrical service in the event of contingencies. A methodology is developed that combines load flow analysis with an intelligent reconnection strategy based on metaheuristic techniques, enabling the identification of optimal configurations that reduce outages and minimize indicators such as non-supplying energy (NSE). To validate the proposal, the IEEE-33 bus system is modeled in MATLAB®, and three operating scenarios are simulated: normal state, fault condition, and reconnection through network reconfiguration. The results demonstrate that the metaheuristic strategy allows for the efficient restoration of supply, improves the voltage profile, and significantly reduces technical losses and NSE. This study contributes to the development of methodologies applied to the automation and resilience of modern distribution networks within the context of smart grid systems.
