Compensación dinámica de potencia activa y reactiva en sistemas de distribución empleando PV-STATCOMs

Abstract

The following document presents a heuristic methodology to address the operation problem of PV-STATCOMs for the dynamic compensation of active and reactive power, with the purpose of minimizing daily energy losses and the cost associated with the purchase of energy in networks. of distribution. This methodology is developed through a master-slave approach, where the master stage provides potential solutions using an optimization algorithm based on the salp swarm, and then the slave stage evaluates these solutions using the approximation power flow method. successive. The methodology was evaluated on two IEEE test systems, with 33 and 69 nodes, respectively, varying the power factor of each PV-STATCOM. As a result, it was possible to reduce both energy losses in the network and the cost of purchasing energy in the substation and the efficiency of the salp swarm algorithm for solving the problem was verified.
