Technical Losses Reduction in Underground Reticulated Distribution Systems using Artificial Neural Networks and Smart Grid Features

ABSTRACT This work presents the methodology, development and testing of an autonomous system, based on Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), for the reduction of technical losses in reticulated underground systems through the optimal control of the capacitor banks (CBs) present in the grid. The proposed...

description ABSTRACT This work presents the methodology, development and testing of an autonomous system, based on Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), for the reduction of technical losses in reticulated underground systems through the optimal control of the capacitor banks (CBs) present in the grid. The proposed methodology includes Smart Grid features, including practical solutions for current transformers positioning in underground networks, collecting field measurements for the Distribution Operation Centre (DOC) and real-time control of field equipment (capacitors banks). The steps of the proposed methodology and the main aspects of the development of the system are also described, as well as the tests performed to prove the results and validate the system.
