The present article reviews the state of the art of optimum capacitor location in distribution systems, providing guidelines for planners engaged in optimizing tension profiles and controlling reagents in distribution networks.
Optimizing a given solution by exhaustive search is studied here; the dimensions of a given problem are determined by evaluating the different possibilities for resolving it and the solution algorithm’s computational times and requirements are visualized. An example system (9 node, IEEE) is used for illustrating the exhaustive search approach, where it was found that methods used in the literature regarding this topic do not always lead to the optimum solution.
En el presente artículo se muestra una revisión del estado del arte de la ubicación óptima de capacitores en sistemas de distribución, para dar una guía de los aspectos que deben tener en cuenta los planificadores en la optimización del perfil de tensión y el control de reactivos en las redes de distribución. Aquí se hace un estudio de la optimalidad de la solución mediante la búsqueda exhaustiva, donde se determina la dimensión del problema evaluando las diferentes posibilidades de solución, y se visualizan los tiempos y requerimientos computacionales que el algoritmo de solución utilizaría. Se utilizó un sistema ejemplo (IEEE de nueve nodos) para hacer el estudio de búsqueda exhaustiva, donde se encontró que los métodos utilizados en la literatura de este tema, no siempre llegan a la solución óptima.
