Realizar el Análisis del Sistema de Distribución Local (SDL) Bajo la Inclusión de Plantas Cogeneradoras con Base en el Sistema SPARD®, en la Electrificadora del Meta S.A E.S.P.

Abstract

The optimization of electrical power systems allows the best use of resources, reduce costs and achieve better effectiveness. In Colombia, the quality of energy and the reliability of the service is a fundamental theme for both the network operator and its users.

Making projects feasible can become very extensive and complex; As the aspects to be evaluated in many cases, go hand in hand. This is the case of the implementation of an electric power supply, from an external source to the distribution network. Since this contribution, can generate variation of the voltage at the point of connection decreasing the quality of energy or in the worst case an increase of system losses, eventually over time, to unimaginable losses.

The inclusion of cogeneration plants in the power system of the Meta Electrificator was studied in order to determine the favorable and unfavorable aspects that are presented when including this type of generation. Studies were carried out such as: distance to the connection point, evaluating relevant aspects such as zones of ecological impact, servitude and the existence of external electricity networks; Of variation of losses, in different scenarios (Maximum, Average and Low Demand); Compensation to the worst served user, among others.

The relevance of the research translates into several points: Determine favorability or non-favorability for the electrical system of EMSA S.A. E.S.P. When power cogeneration units are incorporated; To prepare a report with the results of the study, in order to make known to the officials in charge of the operation of the system so that they have a document as support of decision making. Finally, a series of recommendations will be delivered based on the analysis of the results obtained in the study.
