Modelación y simulación de las redes de baja tensión de la Empresa Eléctrica Regional Centro Sur C.A

Abstract

The present project makes the modeling and simulation of the low voltage networks of the Electrical Utility Centro Sur C.A, to estimate the technical losses and to analyze the impact of the incorporation of induction cookers in residential clients. The process of creating and validating the equipment (transformers, conductors, cables and structures) necessary for the modeling of secondary distribution networks is initially shown. Once the low voltage network is modeled, load flows are run of a representative group of low voltage networks are simulated, with the objective of analyzing the voltage profile, loadability in the lines and equipment, and mainly determining the technical losses produced in them, to finally extrapolate them to the entire low voltage system. In addition, a methodology is applied to evaluate the incorporation of electromagnetic induction cookers in five secondary distribution networks, simulating power flows by adding the load profile of the induction cooker to the residential clients of the secondary networks. Finally the conclusions and recommendations of the project are established.
