This paper proposes k-means clustering algorithm to identify voltage sags patterns and group fault zones with similar impact in high and medium voltage electric. The proposed methodology comprises three stages. First, network modeling and faults simulation were performed in order to get information about voltage sags caused by faults in the transmission system. Voltage sags patterns were identified at the second stage by means of a k-means clustering algorithm, allowing the determination of fault zones. Using the power quality measurements data base of the major electricity utility of Bogotá, voltage sags were classified according to the previously determined voltage sags patterns. At the third stage of the methodology a comparison between simulated and measured sags is performed, allowing the identification of sags caused by faults.
En este artículo se propone el uso del algoritmo K-means para identificar patrones de hundimientos en tensión y agrupar zonas de falla con impacto similar en redes de alta y media tensión. La metodología propuesta comprende tres etapas. Primero, se realiza un modelo de la red de transmisión y distribución y se simula un barrido de todo tipo de fallas, obteniendo información sobre los hundimientos en tensión. En segundo lugar, se identifican patrones de hundimientos en tensión usando el algoritmo k-means y se determinan diferentes zonas de falla para cada uno de los patrones. Finalmente, se usan los patrones encontrados para clasificar información real de hundimientos en tensión registrados en Bogotá y se establecen las zonas de falla para grupos de hundimientos en tensión.
