Processing and Load Forecasting of a Micro Grid Using GRNN Neural
Network
M. P. R. Carvalho and A. D. P. Lotufo
Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP), Ilha Solteira, SP, Brasil
Knowing the load behavior in advance is very important for several tasks in electric power
systems operation and planning mainly in smart grid environment. This work emphasizes the
analysis and treatment of data coming from less aggregate levels of consumption, which present
high variability due to the human behavior in consuming electrical energy. Therefore, the
traditional prediction methods are not adequate to realize the demand forecasting. This way,
artificial neural networks are used to realize the forecasting, in particular the GRNN (General
Regression Neural Networks). The data come from a micro grid placed at PTI (Parque Tecnológico
de Itaipu) obtained by intelligent meters each 15 minutes. This work tried to use the bottom up
concept, a new paradigm in prediction, where the parts compose the total demand. As the data set
contain many missing data, a moving average filter is applied as a preprocessing procedure to
treat and recuperate not only the missing data as well as the noisy ones. The GRNN was chosen
to the characteristics of generalizing and as it is based on probability density function, the
chances to fall in local minima is not possible, besides this neural network converges in one
iteration which is able to real time applications. The assertiveness of the predictions are
measured by MAPE (mean absolute perceptual error) that is the most used metric to do this task,
and the results are according to the literature with indices around 5% to 8% after the application
of the moving average filter.
Index Terms: Bottom up, GRNN, demand forecasting, smart grids, artificial neural network.

Electrical power systems with generation, transmission and distribution require studies
and methods to predict the load with assurance. The innovation of intelligent cities is due to the
intelligent systems that allow a modernization using technologies to improve the system besides
being more reliable. Thus to assure that the electrical demand is enough and with quality, it is
necessary to provide a very good prediction. The proposal of this work is to realize the short term
global load forecasting using a precise and reliable technique with low computational costs. The
technique used is the Euclidian ARTMAP neural network, which is based on Adaptive Resonance
Theory, preserving the plasticity and stability characteristics. The advantage of this version
(Euclidian ARTMAP) is that the input data normalization is not necessary, which represents a
faster processing when compared to the traditional Fuzzy ARTMAP. Thus, it is adequate to
realize short term load forecasting. The data used on the simulations are from a Brazilian electric
system. The results are presented comparing the MAPE (mean average perceptual error).
Conclusions consider that this tool is adequate for short term load forecasting.

The objective of this work is to analyze the private players within the energy integration
in South America as a process. Through the gas sector as energy vector, the methodology l the
countries located in South America, particularly that nations with natural gas activi- ty. Even if
there are already gas trading among some coun- tries of the continent, example the Gasbol (bulk
gas pipe- line across two countries like Bolivia e Brazil), the conti- nent keep being very attractive
to companies that operate with this hydrocarbon through exploration projects, pro- duction,
refining etc. Thus the analysis leads to consider the continent as is rich in energy sources,
however, not equally distributed, thus the energy integration process is extremely important in
order to keep enough energy sup- ply throw the countries of the continent. Proven, in some sense
that the private actors are responsible in supporting the energy integration in South America,
due to sharing technologies, planning and knowhow among the compa- nies that work as
partnership in different countries. Any- way so to form a transboundary trading market of energy
resources between the two or more nations, is extremely complex and cannot depend solely, of
actions and initia- tives of the Governments of each country.

Novel Topology Analysis of Synchronous and Induction Generators in
Parallel Operation Mode in an Offshore Isolated Electric System
V. Zimmermann Silva, Â. J. Junqueira Rezek and R. Di Lorenzo Corrêa
Federal University of Itajubá (UNIFEI), MG, Brazil
This paper presents an analysis of a parallel connection of one synchronous generator and
one self-excited induction generator, each coupled to its dc machine as well as a capacitor bank
with three resistive load banks connected to the system. The circuit was complemented with a
voltage control loop, speed control loop, and auto transformer installed in a primary machine
armature circuit to vary the applied voltage over its armature circuit as an alternative method of
speed control in addition to field flux variation. Using the auto transformer method it is possible
to widen the speed and power limits from the induction generator what relieves so much the
power supply from synchronous generators. A detailed analysis related to power balance between
the two types of generators was conducted. The results enable comparison of the two methods of
induction generator speed control, auto- transformer and field flux adjust. The first is more
representative of actual conditions in the field, whereas generators in offshore platforms are
driven by gas or oil turbines and have a large speed range. An analysis of comparing the power
balance for both methods is presented as result for the cited isolated electric system.

This work describes the development of computational algorithms of mixed integer linear
programming based on deterministic, indicative and economic criteria, this as support for the
implementation of expansion planning for transmission systems. Three methodologies are
compared: static, dynamic or multiperiod and contingency criterion (N-1). The computational
project is implemented in VisualFortran in conjunction with the AMPL (A Mathematical
Programming Language) software. In the static methodology the transport and disjunctive
models are compared, the first one being the most economical computationally, but it doesn't
consider certain aspects of the network. The disjunctive model offers a solution closer to reality. It
is shown that the dynamic or multiperiod planning model is the cheapest methodology, since the
investment is made only if necessary in the indicated period of time, in turn this model is more
complex numerically. The N-1 model is the most efficient considering the safety of the network, it
determines the most severe contingency and proceeds to plan the expansion of the network under
this criterion, it turns out to be the least economic model, but the most reliable. The
computational program is applied with satisfactory results to the Garver system.

In many engineering applications it is needed to find the ideal solution for non-linear,
multimodal and highly complex constraints problems. Conventional optimization techniques,
based on derivate and gradients, generally do not work well for problems like that, especially for
the bigger ones. Recently, bio- inspired metaheuristic algorithms have been used to solve complex
problems, and they have been surprisingly efficient at that. This paper presents a hybrid version
between Flower Pollination Algorithm (FPA) and Clonal Selection Algorithm (CLONALG) to solve
the transmission expansion planning problem. The goal of this problem is to find the electrical
circuits that should be built to minimize the investments and operation costs while supplying the
expected demand for a given planning horizon. Based on flower reproduction, FPA simulates the
pollination process that happens in nature. The clonal selection operator, giving by CLONALG, is
incorporated in the standard FPA to improve the local search process by cloning the most
attractive solutions. The proposed methodology was verified in the Garver and South Brazilian
systems and the results show that the hybridized version proposed can find better solutions when
compared with original FPA, and therefore is a promising technique.

Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (UFJF), Juiz de Fora, MG, Brasil
The penetration of wind energy into electrical power systems has been increased due to
technical, availability and environmental aspects. This leads to the problem of optimizing the
wind farms layout aiming at minimizing investments and maximizing the wind energy. In this
sense, the present work proposes a novel application of metaheuristic to the wind farms
optimization. In particular, the bioinspired technique known as Artificial Immune System (AIS)
is proposed to determine the number, optimal placement and layout of wind turbines in a
predefined land of a wind farm. The objectives are to maximize the power from wind turbines
subjected to minimal investment and operational costs. The proposed approach considers
important aspects as the wake effect, the ground roughness and the limits for the number of
turbines and land. The innovative aspect consists of an application of an unexplored technique to
the wind farms optimization. A test case is presented to assess the proposed approach.

Instituto de Energía Eléctrica, Universidad Nacional de San Juan (UNSJ), San Juan, Argentina
Nowadays there is a trend to use Photovoltaic Generation to replace the conventional one
which involves fossil fuels. This obliges to carry out studies to analyze different aspects of the
operation of these parks where both technologies either conventional or nonconventional ones
coexists. One of the aspects to be studied is the analysis of dynamic behavior of the electric
system called Analysis of Transient Stability. Photovoltaic generation systems, in contrast with
conventional ones, are static, i.e. they do not have mobile parts, and nevertheless, changes in
solar radiation, produced by the presence of low and isolated clouds, modify the power delivered
by the photovoltaic park. These changes of active power generated by photovoltaic parks are seen
as a constraint by the electric system producing frequency variations in the electric system and
the consequent speed variation in conventional generators in operation. Therefore, the impact of
solar radiation changes under the presence of traveling trains of clouds over the Transient
Stability, considering not only concentrated but also disperse Photovoltaic Generation, is
analyzed in this work. Besides, it is presented a methodology to determine a Penetration Index of
Disperse Photovoltaic Generation which allows the definition of the maximum power coming from
photovoltaic generation in relation to the maximum power demanded as well as the Spinning
Reserve Power that guarantee the Transient Stability of the Power System, taking into account
the geographical distribution of photovoltaic generators.

In this paper a new algorithm for application in the expansion planning to medium
voltage overhead distribution networks is presented. This new algorithm is based on the PRIM
algorithm, but was implemented with the concept of dynamic computational programming, using
the aid of data structure to model the problem. The input data for the algorithm were modeled in
a double-chained list format to ensure the movement and quick access of the information. Thus,
the algorithm has the ability to establish a new radial topology for the network, seeking to meet
future demand by building new lines that are successively selected at a lower possible
construction cost. For the evaluation of the performance of the algorithm, computational tests
using data from systems available in the specialized literature: the 23 and 33 node systems. The
results were of quality and were obtained in an excellent processing time and the new algorithm
was efficient and robust in the solution search process.

This document optimizes a commissioning problem, minimizing the cost of dispatching
thermoelectric generators to a time horizon of the electric power system, with the presence of
solar, hydroelectric and thermoelectric power generation. In order to define the temporal order of
thermoelectric generation, the problem takes into account a history of flow in the hydropower
plants of the system and the uncertainties inherent in the production of solar energy. Thus, short-
term energy planning will be defined taking into account the estimation of solar irradiance
through the concept of uncertainties. As a proposal of resolution, we use linear programming
coupled to a mathematical technique called Robust Optimization (RO) that will be solved by the
algorithm of generation of columns and restrictions (C&CG), applied to decompose the global
problem among the uncertainties of the given Operation By Solar irradiation achievements.

This paper aims to present a new algorithm to the application about the reconfiguration
problem of electric power distribution systems with the objective of establishing the best
configuration for the distribution network minimizing electrical losses and improving voltage
levels. The new algorithm was implemented using the Dev-C++ and based on the Greedy
Algorithm, but it was built through intelligent programming with double chained lists and
dynamic memory to ensure a good performance. Thus the algorithm has the capacity of
establishing a radial topology for the network, seeking to minimize losses by opening or closing
switches that are successively selected. To evaluate the performance of the algorithm,
computational tests were performed on systems that are available in the specialized literature.
The results obtained with the simulations showed quality solutions obtained with an excellent

In order to maintain the operation of the electric power system under normal operating
conditions, possible control actions may be taken. In this study, an optimization process is
employed to determine the amount of reactive power compensation that should be installed in
buses groups previously defined. Thus, three objectives functions are adopted, to reduce the active
power losses, in system and in critical areas, and to maximize the load margin. For this sake, it is
employed the evolutionary optimization technique, particle swarm optimization (PSO), and the
coherence areas determination is performed with the aid of the tangent vector. As the reactive
power problem is local, for the control of voltage levels, the most appropriate buses for installation
of reactive compensation are also determined by tangent vector sensibility. Thus, two groups with
eight buses are identified: sensitive to losses and critical to the voltage collapse. The tests were
performed using IEEE 118 and 300 buses system. The results show how the losses reduction in
determined areas impact on the system total loss and the load margin. Furthermore, the
sensitivity information provided by the tangent vector as initial data for optimization help the
PSO to find its solution.

The growing penetration of renewable resources, as the wind power, in the energy matrix
of several countries increases the uncertainties related to the continuity of supply due to
intermittences of such sources. Therefore, ancillary services are important to improve the
reliability and security of a power system. This paper presents an approach to evaluate the
spinning generation reserve that considers uncertainties over load demand by using an AC power
flow model. The constraints referred to the power flow limits of lines and to a simplified capability
curve of hydraulic generators are observed. The objective is to support the system operator in the
supply of energy with continuity and the lower possible spinning reserve cost.

Measurements

1Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA), Argentina 2Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, EEUU
Under extreme operational conditions, it could be difficult to assure power system
stability against severe contingencies only by means of normal system schemes. The so-called
System Protection Schemes (SPS) are implemented in many utilities to guarantee stability of the
power system under extreme contingencies and they are also used to increase operational power
transfer limits in order to maximize grid utilization. SPS monitor the magnitudes over a wide
area and perform automatic actions based on the detection of system contingencies and the actual
power system conditions. Synchrophasor technology uses Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) to
measure grid voltage and current and to calculate frequency and phase angle over an area. These
measurements are time-synchronized to references such as GPS satellites. Synchrophasor data is
reported at rates of 25 to 50 records per second. This work performs a literature exploration of
PMU-based SPS, prioritizing implementations in real power systems, which will be taken into
account in a future reformulation of the current SPS of the 500kV transmission network of the
Argentine Power System. Basic principles and fundamentals of each reported case will be
described.

This paper presents a new algorithm to medium voltage overhead distribution lines
expansion planning. Such algorithm is able to establish a strategy for the connection of
distributed generation units into distribution power system. In the first step the algorithm
establishes a new topology for the network, meeting the future demand and the necessary
technical criteria to deliver electricity to consumers. The problem is represented by a nonlinear
mathematical model and the solution is obtained iteratively. In each iteration, a specialized
sensitivity indicator using information from the solution of the mathematical model supports the
decision making. In the second step, looking for the best benefit to the network operation, the
algorithm evaluates the established topology to indicate the capacity and candidate buses for
connection of the distributed generation. Computational tests were carried out to evaluate the
algorithm performance. The results obtained through the simulations showed that the algorithm
converges rapidly and finds feasible solutions.

Hydraulic models have been extensively used in engineering since the XIXth century,
when many hydroelectric power plants were under design and numerical models were not
available. Building a hydraulic model was faster and cheaper than solving differential equations
of fluid dynamics over large model domains. Development of numerical tools in the last decades
have drawn most of the research focus on fluid mechanics, leading hydraulic models to a
secondary plane. In fact, numerical models quickly evolved, and nowadays they are able to solve
three-dimensional problems, producing stable and consistent results. However, numerical models
still need calibration and parameters estimation, and hydraulic models are needed on that ever
since no field data is available, which is quite frequent. Considering that computer science
development stressed project schedules, hydraulic models need to be built and commissioned in a
few months. This article presents the experience acquired on the Hydraulics Research Center
(Centro de Pesquisas Hidráulicas - CPH) in this regard, which made possible building two
hydraulic models in 6 months. These models were built to study reservoir silting of the Salto
Paraopeba Hydropower, owned by CEMIG. Materials and techniques used are described, and
some of the obtained results are shown.

This paper presents a case study about a real power system, operating as an isolated
system (delta-delta network) in a 69kV transmission line, focused on the changes in the
protection adjustments. The line under analysis makes part of a transmission/distribution system
that, under normal operational conditions is connected in 69kV level until the substation a small
city in the end of the circuit. However, when maintenance is necessary in one of the 69kV line, it
is necessary an alternative to feed the small city. To overcome this problem and operational
minimize costs, an 11,4kV distribution line is used to feed a 69kV substation, that is the origin of
the 69kV transmission line that transports energy to the small city. In maintenance conditions,
there is an isolated system established around the line under analysis. In this sense, a study
using RTDS (Real Time Digital Simulator) is made, by the analysis of the behavior of voltages
and currents seen by the protection. The results show that the system conditions vary
significantly when the 69kV line is removed from operation and the system starts operating with
the 11.4kV line, which demands important changes in the protection, to guarantee its
performance in case of contingency.

Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR), Curitiba, PR, Brasil
The growing of alternative forms of generation coordinated with conventional types of
generations (as hydraulic and thermal generation) requires the developing of new formulations of
power and energy dispatches for different horizons of study. For the horizon of one year, which is
the object of this study, there are many works that formulate hydrothermal dispatch problems
which are difficult to be solve because these problems are nonlinear, stochastics and
intertemporal. They are solved via various traditional techniques and artificial intelligence.
Although many papers apply the classical formulation of the GAs to solve the dispatch problem of
energy, there is another metaheuristic technique called Differential Evolution (DE) that presents
good performance to this kind of problem. So, the main objective of the work is to carry out a
comparison of metaheuristic techniques to solve a wind- hydrothermal dispatch that incorporates
the transmission constraints of the electric network for the horizon of one year. The techniques
analyzed are DE and GA, tested on a 34-bus system.

The Reactive Optimal Power Flow (ROPF) problem is mathematically modeled as a
mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) problem, and plays an important role in the
power systems planning and operation. The main goal of solving a ROPF problem is to optimize a
power system performance measure, while satisfying its physical and operating constraints. This
paper proposes a trust region nonlinear rescaling approach to solve ROPF problems for
transmission active power loss minimization. A penalty function is employed to handle the
discrete variables, so that the problem becomes continuous and differentiable. The nonlinear
rescaling method is applied to the inequality constraints, leading to an equivalent problem with
only equality constraints, which is solved by a trust region sequential quadratic programming
method. Each trial step of the trust region method is decomposed into two components: a normal
step, that tries to achieve feasibility, and a tangential step, which tries to achieve optimality
while preserving the feasibility attained by the normal step. Numerical experiments with the
IEEE benchmark test-systems are carried out to show the performance of the proposed algorithm.

Due to the increasing complexity of Electrical Power Systems, economical analysis related
to their planning and operation are extremely important. In this context, the evaluation of the
maximum active power transfer between different regions is an important task in order to allow a
better use of energy resources.This paper proposes the use of the Linear Programming (LP) -
based Optimal Power Flow, which consists of the intercalated solution of the conventional AC
power flow and the linear programming problem through linearized constraint sensitivity
coefficients. The new set of the control variables is obtained from the LP problem and a new
operation point is calculated. The results are achieved by successive generation redispatch, whose
objective function is the minimization of the active power generation cost. Initially, the power
system is divided in two regions: exporter and importer. In the exporting region the active power
generation is increased, while the other region is decreased, in order to make the transfer of
active power among the regions. As a consequence, the maximum active power transfer capacity
is also achieved. The proposed approach was implemented using MatLab environment and the
obtained results were validated through the comparison with FLUPOT program.

This paper investigates the coordination between medium-term generation planning and
short-term operation in electricity markets for hydropower systems. Traditional central- ized
short-term models have been replaced by decentralized dispatch models such as the auction
models used by market operators. Most of the day-ahead auction models proposed are formulated
for thermal systems. Such models neglect any sort of coordination strategy. However,
coordination is essential in hydropower systems in order to enforce security and reliability now
and in the future. This work proposes a hydrothermal coordination approach for day-ahead
energy markets where short- and medium-term decisions are taken into account in a single
model. In this approach, hydrothermal coordination is formulated as a two-stage stochastic linear
programming problem, where the water inflow uncertainty is represented by a set of scenarios.
The first-stage consists in solving a network- constrained multi-period energy auction model and
obtain the generation power scheduling for each hour of the day-ahead. The second-stage
decisions are made by solving a medium-term gener- ation planning problem. To evaluate the
impact of the proposed coordination approach, computational tests are performed. By evaluating
the generation dispatch and the daily nodal prices, it is possible to observe the impact of the
hydrothermal coordination in the energy market.

This paper proposes the use of a constructive metaheuristic algorithm to solve the
generating unit maintenance scheduling problem. A reliability based maintenance methodology is
considered to provide a quantitative basis for allocation of maintenance efforts and budgets. The
proposed tool makes the gradual construction of maintenance plans through local and global
search engines, commonly used by optimization techniques. At the constructive process four
mechanisms are used: addition, crossover, mutation and depuration. These mechanisms are
responsible for ensuring a parsimonious construction process, towards good quality solutions.
Sensitivity indices, based on generation system reliability information, are used in the

In the electricity markets with oligopolistic competition, generation companies carry out
strategies or games to exert market power in order to increase their profits above competitive
levels to prevent the entry of new agents to the market. To minimize the risks in capital intensive
projects (investments in capacity), generation companies must invest timely (anticipate or react).
For this, the investors seek tools that allow quantify the value of flexibility considering the
strategic movements of its competitors. This paper develops an evaluation tool, called Options
Game, which combines Real Options with Game Theory. To validate the model, an application of
the Options Game approach has been represented, which quantifies the effect of a duopolistic
market in decision making. The results indicate a considerable reduction of risk by postponing
the investment, which is related to the arrival of new information before making the decision.
Index Terms: Flexibility, game theory, generation capacity, investment, real options, strategic

In this article we propose the resolution of the problem of economic dispatch in the electric
power system with the integration of the photovoltaic plants with the objective of optimizing the
dispatch using the internal points method using MatPower software and analyzing the influence
that a renewable source would have on the total cost of operation of the thermal units. The
proposal considers the variation of the generation of the photovoltaic plant of São João do Piauí as
well as of the demand of load of the state of Piauí along the horizon of operation in studies
dividing it in intervals of one hour. For each interval, a dispatch will be made considering the
value of the photovoltaic plant generation and the load demand of the system for this moment. In
the results, we have the determination of the most suitable value of power injection of the
photovoltaic plant for the minimum cost of operation of the thermal units as well as the time
interval that this will occur. In addition, it was determined in which cases the highest operational
cost of the thermal units occurs.

This paper presents the application of a method to estimates the structural reliability of
the Subtransmission systems, directed to the planning of the expansion and operation of the
Electric Power System (EPS). This method is innovative in the sense of evaluating reliability not
only by the historical records of EPS performance, which are influenced by variables such as the
climate and quantity of programmed interventions, but mainly by the constructive characteristics
of their structures. The stochastic behavior of EPS is represented by connection trees, the
reliability is evaluated probabilistically using the method of minimal cut-sets, and the total
durations of interruptions for 1st and 2st order cuts are evaluated in the period of one year,
depending on the failure rates of the lines and transformers, the average maneuvering times and
the carrying capacity of the remaining elements, that gives the percentage of load transfer. An
existed Subtransmission system is evaluated and a reliability ranking of its structures is
established, then alternatives works are defined in order to improve its worst structures. The
planned system is assessed and only the alternatives which reached the balance between the
prudent investment and relia ility s targets it will included at works portfolio.

Bioinspired Optimization Technique
C. A. Moraes, E. J. De Oliveira, L. W. Oliveira and I. C. Silva Junior
Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora, Juiz de Fora (UFJF), MG, Brasil
This work proposes a two-step resolution strategy to solve the static transmission
expansion planning problem: (a) Initially, a constructive heuristic algorithm is used to serve two
purposes: firstly, to finds an improved initial set of candidate solutions for the bioinspired
metaheuristic, aiming at improving the performance of the optimization algorithm; secondly, to
generate only a good initial solution that will be inserted into the set of random initial solutions.
For that, four sensitivity indexes are used in this constructive heuristic algorithm; (b) Since this
improved initial set of candidate solutions and initial solution are known, they are transferred to
the multimodal optimization process, based on the echolocation phenomenon considering the
doppler effect. The obtained results indicate that the proposed solution strategy provides
increased efficiency for the multimodal optimization process by the search for optimality, since
competitive solutions to the proposals in the literature were obtained.

In the liberalized markets, generation companies evaluate investment alternatives
considering high committed capital, risk and profitability expectations. These expectations are
difficult to anticipate because they depend on several factors that are highly uncertain, including
both exogenous uncertainties - such as variations in demand and endogenous uncertainties -such
as the behavior of competing generating agents. This paper proposes a methodology that adapts
and clarifies the long-term data through a novel technique of experiential learning. This
methodology is based on the Agent-based Computational Economics approach and similarity
techniques. The results indicate a reduction of the extreme values of the profitability expectations
of the alternatives Therefore, this implies a considerable reduction of the risk exposure of the
investment alternatives.

To ensure proper functioning of power systems it is essential that the spinning reserve
levels be carefully dimen- sioned. This paper presents a new methodology to determine the ideal
amounts of spinning reserve in function of different load levels and weather seasons of the year,
considering long-term planning horizons. The central idea is to size the reserve levels for each
load profile, taking into account the fluctuation of power from renewable sources of energy. To
reach the proposed objec- tives, the costs associated with the energy not supplied and the
spinning reserve costs required to maintain acceptable reliability indices are estimated through
sequential Monte Carlo simulation (SMCS), which is incorporated into the genetic algorithm (GA)
to provide the necessary information for the evaluation of each possible solution. The methodology
is applied in three test sys- tems: IEEE RTS96, IEEE RTS96H and IEEE RTS96HW.

The multi-objective economic and environmental dispatch problem with valve-point
loading effect and losses is concerned with the minimization of generation costs and the emission
of pollutants while accounting for systems operational constraints. The problem is formulated as
a multi-objective, nonlinear, non-convex, non-differentiable problem and due to such numerical
complexities, this problem has been solved mainly by heuristic approaches. The objective of this
paperis to investigate and solve the multi-objective dispatch problem by a deterministic approach.
The deterministic approach pro- posed involves the method of progressive bounded constraints,
smoothing functions and nonlinear rescaling method with inertia correction techniques. The
multi-objective nature of the problem is handled by the method of Progressive Bounded
Constraints; a smoothing technique is used to handle non-differentiability issues; the nonlinear
rescaling method is used to solve the subproblems resulting from the Progressive Bounded
Constraints method and the inertia correction strategy is used so that only descent directions are
generated. The methodology will be applied to generation systems and the results obtained will
be compared to others optimization approaches.

This work presents a hybrid method based on Harmony Search (HS) and Branch & Bound
(B&B) to solve the problem of Static (PEEST) and Dynamic (PDEST) Transmission Network
Expansion Planning in electrical power systems. The result of this formulation is mixed-integer
nonlinear programming, where the difficulties are intensified in the PDEST by the temporal
coupling. Therefore, a methodology was developed to reach the solution in three different stages:
The first one is responsible for obtaining an efficient set of best candidate routes for the
expansion; the metaheuristic optimization process uses Harmony Search to find PEEST’s optimal
solution and its neighborhood that provides a PDEST candidate zone; lastly, a hybrid algorithm
that mixes the HS and B&B concepts is adapted to provide the optimal PDEST. In this study, the
lossless linearized modeling for load flow is used as a representation of the transmission network.
Tests with the Garver, Two Valleys, and southern Brazilian systems were carried out to verify the
performance method. The computational time saving for the PEEST and PDEST prove the
efficacy of the proposed method.

The paper proposes to apply the sensitivity analysis technique to estimate the electric
losses of active and reactive power. From the Jacobian Matrix, it is possible to identify which
points in the system are most sensitive to an adjustment of a control variable in order to
minimize losses. The control variables considered in this work were: the voltage in the generation
bus, the active power injection in all the bus of the system (except the slack bus), and the reactive
power injection in the load bus. Thus, the main objective is to determine corrective measures that
lead to a new operation point of the system where losses are reduced.

Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP), Bauru, SP, Brasil
In the day-ahead electricity market, generation companies need to solve some problems
with the ultimate goal of maximizing their profits. One of those problems consists in determining,
in the short-term, the optimal self-scheduling of the units belonging to the company so that the
profit from selling energy is maximized disregarding the power balance in the system. In this
paper we propose a 0/1 mixed-integer linear programming model for self-scheduling problem of a
generation company owing hydro and thermal plants. We assume a price- maker generating
company, which means that it has the ability the market-clearing prices by means of altering its
offers in the market. The main tool of this model is the price-quota curve, which models the
ability of company price-maker to altering market-clearing prices. As result, we present a
computation tool of economic analysis for companies in the day ahead market.

Improving Special Protection Schemes with Operations Research
Analysis
A. Hoese
EEConsulting, San Juan, Argentina
The paper describes the fundamentals of Special Protection Systems (SPS) and their
strength relationship with mathematical models of the transmission network. New technical,
social and environmental restrictions are demanding SPS to deal with real-time assessment,
intelligent decision- making models, state estimators, optimization algorithms and heuristics
among other techniques of Operations Research (OR). State of the art in communication,
acquisition, control and monitoring devices together with real-time automation controllers allow
building these models as the core of a SPS, leaving behind the traditional concept of pre-
calculated "state tables" and the use of "ladder-logic" programming languages. Two recent
applications at the Central Interconnected System in Chile designed by the author are shown as
examples of this synergy between OR and hardware technology, to build successful SPS currently
in operation. The paper intends to emphasize the need of incorporating advanced OR techniques
in the design of core control algorithms for modern SPS in transmission power systems, and to
depict the advantages and challenges that it entails.

Optimal Involvement in the Futures Market for a Hydro Power
Producer
T. Forti da Silva and L. Nepomuceno
Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP), Bauru, SP, Brasil
A power producer can use the futures market as a hedging tool against the volatility of
pool market prices, seeking a tradeoff between higher profits and lower risks. However, a
hydroelectric power producer must coordinate its participation in these markets with the
management of its reservoir levels in the medium term, transferring water from the rainy season
to the dry season. To solve this problem, this work proposes a two-stage stochastic programming
model that considers the uncertainties associated with the pool market prices and the water
inflows, using the conditional value at risk (CVaR) measure. The proposed model can be
effitiently solved via commercial available solvers and it is evaluated in a test system consisting
of 13 hydroelectric power plants over a period of one year.

Additions of power generation capacity usually commit significant amounts of capital
resources. In the long-term, returns of power investments are vulnerable to the occurrence of
unfavorable market conditions. Volatility of electricity and fuel prices, transmission constraints
and technical unavailability of the own installations introduce significant uncertainty on the
financial performance of the investment generation project actual. Decisions on capital
investments are typically ased on deterministic profita ility metrics such the project’s net
present value (NPV) and/or the internal rate of return (IRR). Nevertheless, because of the
uncertain factors realized returns may dramatically differ from projections at time of decision. In
fact, some unanticipated adverse scenarios can even endanger the survival of the generating
firms. For this reason, generation companies consider not only profitability expectations, but also
the involved risks. The objective of this article is to demonstrate the feasibility of applying
stochastic simulation for appraising generation investment projects under consideration of
exogenous and endogenous project uncertainty and its associated risks. A gas-fired open cycle and
a combined cycle power plant are used as exemplary investment projects. Expected profitability
and risk metrics, such as VaR (Value-at-Risk) and loss probability, are derived from these
distributions. Sensitivity analysis of return and risk metrics upon some driving variables is
performed.

signature techniques, the quality of the fuel being supplied to large diesel engines. This
methodology has been implemented at Suape II Thermal Power Plant, which has 28 MVA
Wärtsilä generators. At this level of power, any reduction of generation capacity due to the poor
quality of fuel propellant generates significant revenue losses. The main idea behind the
ultrasound signature techniques is based on each kind of oil has a signature when exposed to a

Considering the context of the Brazilian Energy Planning, it is reiterated the great
importance of the thermoelectricity in order to guarantee an optimum operation of the reservoirs
in a given planning period. In other words, it can be affirmed through results obtained by
computational simulations that thermoelectricity plays a fundamental role in meeting the
demand for electric power in a Hydrothermal Power System. Evident that the thermoelectricity,
when used efficiently, shows a strategic and operational value of great importance in the
Brazilian electricity matrix. Based on this scenario, the present work will analyze hydroelectricity
and thermoelectricity in the context of Operation Planning of Hydrothermal Power Systems.
Considering that there is no cost of fuel related to hydroelectricity, this paper will analyze the
present forms of planning and it will discuss alternatives to optimize the electric power
generation complemented by thermoelectric, especially nuclear thermoelectric, which presents
itself as a base complementary source and constant throughout the planning period, given its
lower cost of fuel compared to other sources, and of course, it will discuss the strategic aspect and
the energy security, given the fact that this is a technology in the domain of our nation.

The reduction of the storage capacity and the regularization in the reservoirs generates a
gradual decrease in the capacity of generation of energy and has a strong impact on the national
electricity system. The reduction of the capacity of regularization is study by means of reduced
models of moving bottom, the sediments used in the models will be representative in the relation
of the geometric and dynamic similarities of the transport process of the sediment in the
prototype (real scale). Various types of sediments are used such as high density wood forest
residues, but these materials are difficult to obtain and decompose over time. Thus, the use of
artificial (synthetic) and low-cost materials should be compared as an alternative to this type of
application. The article presents the development of a methodology and preliminary results of the
study of the physical and hydrodynamic characteristics of tire rubber grain for its use in reduced
models that allow to represent the behavior of the original material (sand grain) present in the
sediment transport process (involving the drag, suspension and deposition) in the reservoir.

In the Francis turbine rotors fluid leakage can be seen at the periphery between the rotor
inlet and the suction pipe and between the rotor and the top cap, these leakage locations are
called labyrinths. The labyrinths are the interstices formed by the pairs of fixed and movable
wear rings which are positioned so that they have the function of non-contact sealing and are
strategically constructed with the function of minimizing the leakage of fluid from a system, the
rings have the shortest distance between the rotating and fixed part of the rotor of the turbine,
which consequently generates a greater use of the available energy. In this system, as the
rotation increases the pressure difference (ΔP) tends to decrease. As the flow through the
labyrinth respects the relation of load versus internal loss of charge there will be a reduction in
the flow outflow. To verify this assertion, it was developed based on the studies of Idelcik (1960)
and Pfleider and Petermann (1979), an equation for the calculation of the head loss and the other
calculations necessary in labyrinths of the simple type that is a model of labyrinth in Cylindrical
ring used in rotors manufactured for available falls of up to 60 meters. The equation found results
in the head loss in a function of pressure variation, friction coefficient and labyrinth width.

Measurement and analysis of partial discharges (PD) is one of the most effective methods
for analyzing the statistical isolation of the generator. However, despite having well-defined
patterns, it is not trivial to fitting the signals in these patterns, due principally to the variations
of PD of the same type of the problem. The use of a tool that streamlines this process is suggested
in this work, as it is a solution for analyzing large amounts of information. A hybrid
(unsupervised / supervised) approach was applied to identify patterns and then will make the
classification in the known forms of PD. This paper proposes the use of data mining techniques
based on clustering to group the characteristic patterns of PD DP into hydro generators, defined
in standards. Then, decision trees are trained to classify cases from new measurements. A
comparative analysis will be performed between clustering algorithms and decision trees to for
choose what is the superior combination to made the better classification to the diagnosis of
machine.

Federal University of Ouro Preto (UFPO), Campus Morro do Cruzeiro, Ouro Preto, MG, Brazil
Currently, the Brazilian mining sector is recovering from a crisis due to the recent events
that have raised doubts about the conditions of tailings dams and their structural efficiency. It is
known that one of the great problems of the mining companies is the use of water resources in the
ore transportation and storage of waste and one of the great expenses of their plants is the high
consumption of electric energy to feed the engines. This paper aims to discuss and seek the
possible ways to take advantage of the available water resources in the exploration regions. The
objective is to show the guidelines for the establishment of hydroelectric power plants in mining
plants. It will also be discussed the possibility of reducing the demand for electric power
purchased from concessionaires and the sale of surplus electricity to other companies, which
makes it attractive for mining companies to generate energy through the reject dam, since the
water resources available in the region are used in the ore extraction and enrichment.

Energy is the key element in the human society development. It is the driving force of
most services destined to benefit people. As one of the energy production sources, the fossil fuels
are pointed out as the main cause of climate changes suffered by the planet. In that context,
alternative ways of clean energy production are necessary. Brazil is known for its energy
generation potential due to its huge land extension and water resources. This work presents a
possible solution for energy production to different applications, aiming sustainability and ease of
deployment, the hydrokinetic turbine. The hydrokinetic turbine studied was the Gorlov turbine.
The QBlade software was used to evaluate the airfoils used in such turbines, showing advantages
for the NACA 0018 profile. A profile in such turbine must present a stronger geometry in order to
be more impact resistant. Finally, the hydrokinetic turbine reappears as an alternative of clean
energy source with low environmental impacts. The hydrokinetic turbines can produce energy to
small companies, communities, and to places far from the public network, where there are
problems involving electrical network lines.

Study of the Effect of the Complementary Use of Wind Energy on the
Load Recovery Capacity of Henry Borden Hydropower Plant in Brazil
P. M. de Arruda, J. C. Teixeira and P. T. L. Asano
Universidade Federal do ABC (UFABC), Santo André, SP, Brasil
The Henry Borden hydropower plant in Brazil is supplied by the Pinheiros waterway,
which is elevated 31 m by Traição and Pedreira pumping plants to Billings reservoir, then falls
720 m towards the turbines. This height difference implies 5.654 MW/m3/s of energy gain. The
hydropower plant can also perform load recovery (black start) during a blackout. However, since
1992, it delivers 75% less power than its nominal 889 MW, due to water transfer restrictions. To
increase its generation, in normal operation and during blackouts, the water available at its
reservoir should increase. Feeding the pumping plants with wind energy could enable sending all
of Henry Borden's electricity to the grid. The proximity of Billings reservoir has reasonable wind
speeds and enough area to host a wind farm to generate the annual power the pumps demand.
Four different scenarios of wind energy use in a complementary way to Henry Borden were
investigated, before and during a long-lasting blackout, and the energy delivery to the grid was
compared. Different water levels at the reservoir were considered. The best scenario was the one
in which, in normal operation, wind energy is injected into the grid, and, during a blackout, it
powers the pumps.

The installations of a hydroelectric’s implantation causes the interruption of the natural
flow of the rivers and with this we have an obstruction of the traffic of fish. This becomes more
sensitive when these buses stops the migration of the species during the reproductive period,
forcing them to find another forms of migration or simply preventing them from that. In many
cases, individuals migrants seek to overcome the rails by entering the suction tubes of the
hydraulic turbines and moving to near the rotors of the machines. The entry of fish into the
hydraulic turbines can cause death events with severe environmental and legal repercussions. To
try to minimize this impact, Fish Transposition Mechanisms (MTP's) are installed, in charge of
connecting the downstream region to the reservoir, allowing the species to access upstream to
continue the natural reproduction process. In order for the design of these mechanisms to be
effectively, it is necessary to know the swimming characteristics of the species to be transposed.
Thus it is necessary to identify the speeds developed by the fish in order to design devices that
allow the species to be able to perform the transposition. The identification of the swimming
capacity of the fish is done through the determination of the critical velocity. For this are used the
methodology and apparatus based on Brett's (1964) breathalyzer. This work presents a study on
the reduction of increment of the time of changing speeds during the test of 10 to 05 and 04
minutes for the the critical’s speed calculations. This reduction of the time increment directly
impacts the working capacity of the research groups regarding the survey of the critical speeds of
Neotropical fish species. The target species in this study is Pimelodus maculatus, better known as
mandi-amarelo. The statistical differences obtained with the tests are analyzed in order to verify

The Hydroelectric Power Plants are the most important source of energy in Brazil. At the
beginning of the XX Century, the Electric Sector has passed the environmental problems witch
was gradually surpassed or mitigated. Among the questions that were open, stand out those
subjects about aquatic fauna, in special the icthyofauna. The literature list that the main
anthropic factor is a loss of biodiversity and the change of the habitats. The dealerships has been
striving to mitigate the negative impacts of its reservoirs on fish community. One of the most
discussed impacts among the specialists is an interception of migratory fish routes through out
the dam, which leads to interference of the fish community. Attention towards this impact is
extremely relevant when consider the diversity of fish species in Brazilian rivers and their

The synchronous generator is an important component of the electrical power systems
and it is subjected to various risks, especially in its excitation. For this reason, the use of
protection devices to safeguard the generators is essential. In this sense, this paper presents the
results of a numerical protection relay behavior in response to various events which the
generators may be subjected. For this, loss of excitation and overexcitation caused by load
shedding in a synchronous generator of salient poles were simulated in a test power system
simulated in Simulink/Matlab environment. The secondary voltage and current signals from this
simulation are converted to COMTRADE format and loaded in a secondary test equipment to
be applied in the generator protection relay under test. The main results and conclusions are
presented and analyzed from the oscillograms, time relay responses and based on the literature
references about the theme.

An important part of the synchronous generator is the excitation system. Any failures in
the excitation system can cause several consequences for the generator and power system
connected to it. The loss of excitation is worst event that can happen in the generator
excitation system. This disturbance can cause the machine to lose synchronism with the power
system. In additional, these events can cause the overexcitation of the neighboring generators. To
minimize these effects, it is necessary to isolate the synchronous machine quickly using
protection relays with the following ANSI functions: loss of excitation (ANSI 40), loss of

evaluation of these protections functions of a numerical relay for loss of excitation and loss of
synchronism events. Computational simulations using a Real Time Digital Simulator (RTDS)
and closed loop tests are performed for this purpose. The results and conclusions are presented

One of the important aspects when analyzing the generators protection is the grounding
type of the stator neutral, which will define the protection philosophy to be used. The type of
generator grounding depends of the machine size. For large machines, a high value of grounding
impedance is generally used to limit the fault current. The use of this type of grounding can cause
problems related to overvoltage and insensitivity of the differential protection against stator-to-
ground faults. Once phase-to-ground faults occur, a careful analysis of the stator protection
philosophy (ANSI 64) of the synchronous generator is necessary. So, this paper presents a set of
tests to evaluate the 100% protection of the stator of synchronous generators for phase-to-ground
faults. For this, computational simulations are performed using a synchronous machine model of
the Real Time Digital Simulator (RTDS). In additional, the real-time performance of a
commercial relay using a hardware-in-the-loop scheme is analyzed. The main results are
presented and discussed observing the gaps of the literature.

Hydro-generator equipment has a lifetime that is related to several factors. Living
organisms can negatively impact the shelf life of equipment, such as mollusks that can adhere to
equipment surfaces by increasing surface roughness and causing increased pressure drop. In
Brazil, some of the most representative bio- invasion occurrences are related to the introduction
of the "Limnoperna fortunei" mussel, originating in Southeast Asia, introduced by the water of
ship star and has a new distribution, not Brazil, Argentina Uruguay, Paraguay and Bolivia. From

This paper presents an analysis of basic organic Rankine cycle (ORC) used five type of
working fluids: one wet fluid (R717), two isentropic fluids (R11 and R12) and two dry fluids
(benzene and R113) with boiling point ranging from - 33,35°C to 79,85°C, to convert waste energy
to power from low- grade heat source. These organic fluids are analyzed and compared, in the
order to determinate with which of them the best performance can be obtained. The evaluation
will be performed using a combined first and second law of thermodynamics and varying certain
system operation parameters at saturation conditions. Results from these analysis show that the
higher system thermal efficiency was obtained with the working fluids R11 and R113 compared
with the others working fluids. In addition, the fluid that shows the best thermal efficiency is the
one that the highest boiling point.

In oil exploration activities there is a special type of platform with the capacity to drill
and prepare the wells for production. These units are called drilling rigs. Most of these vessels
uses dynamic positioning systems in order to maintain its position. A dynamic positioning unit
has its power system typically powered by diesel generator sets connected to medium voltage
busbars and are responsible for feeding the entire electrical plant including the thrusters,
providing thrust against the resultant weather conditions applied on the platform. In this
context, this work will obtain the consumption of the diesel generator sets for a typical platform
based in two different electrical configurations for the medium voltage switchboards: with them
connected (single busbar) and for segregated (three split). To achieve this objective the diesel
consumption curve of the engine will be used and real propulsion load data were obtained in
different scenarios: with the unit keeping position at a desirable location and during sailing. This
analysis is relevant because will bring the fuel consumption levels at these different scenarios
and which one it is possible to reduce the consumption, obtaining greater economy and also
allowing the decrease of the greenhouse gases emission.

The rivers of the Amazon region present a high sediment load, which pass through the
hydraulic machines causing abrasive wear, reducing the useful life of the equipment. The wear
resistance due to abrasion and erosion of the rotors, depends on the characteristics of the
materials used in its manufacture, however this wear is almost impossible to be totally avoided.
This work presents a study of wear caused under a metal surface of the rotor blades of a small
hydraulic turbine. In this analysis, the pellet samples collected at Acre River near the city of Rio
Branco (AC) with different grain particles having D50 of 0,097mm, 73% of the sample of sand.
Such wear can interfere with the profile of the equipment, reducing the efficiency of the
equipment. The micro abrasion tests carried out on the AISI 8620 steel showed that as semi-
rounded forms of the sediments, they can cause micro- grooving and deformation of the surface,
as well as erosion by flow of the mixture.

The erosive wear on hydraulic turbines occurs due to the presence of solid particles
immersed in the working fluid and causes the loss of rotor material reducing its efficiency and in
some cases rendering it unusable. Methods of coating hydraulic machines blades to reduce
erosion, have as consequence an increase in blade thickness which in turn modifies the velocity
triangle and the forces acting on the rotor. This article describes the design of a Francis rotor and
elaboration of the velocity triangle for three hypotheses considering variation in blade thickness
and an ideal situation considering it infinitesimal, in order to correlate the velocities found in
each condition with the drag force acting on the rotor surface, to verify that the advantages of the
coating process are greatly reduced with the increase of forces. The difference in pressure over the
same area and assumptions with different blade thicknesses can be neglected according to the
analysis, given the advantages of the coating process.

The Golden Mussel is a freshwater bivalve mollusk that has caused several
environmental and economic problems in some hydroelectric plants in Brazil. The first detection
of this mollusk in Brazil occurred in the late 1990s. The infestation of the penstocks by this
mollusk has special influence on systems with small diameters, typical of low power hydroelectric
plants. When Golden Mussel infestation occurs in the penstocks of these developments, a
significant increase in relative roughness (e/D) is observed. This work aims to evaluate the
influence of Golden Mussel infestation on hydraulic transient in penstocks of these systems that
operate with 1.000 kW machines, evaluating three penstocks separeted of different lengths
during a load rejection with 100% of nominal flow. To obtain the desired results, the method of
characteristics was used to calculate the hydraulic transients, in a simple system composed of a
penstock with an upstream reservoir and a valve downstream. The closing time of the valve was
adopted as slow, that is, greater than the critical time. First, the method of characteristics was
applied to the penstocks without incrustation by the Golden Mussel. Then, a simulation of
infestation was performed with the Golden Mussel, according to the roughness detected by Souza
et al. (2016) of the uniform type, throughout the length of the penstocks, and a load rejection was
simulated to evaluate the effects of this infestation. The results showed a difference between the
values of the maximum overpressure in the penstocks without and with infestation by the Golden
Mussel. Within this context, it was verified the need to change the closing law of the maneuver
equipment, when the penstocks are under infestation by the Golden Mussel.

Typically, electric power distribution systems were not designed for the massive
connection of generators. Therefore, technical problems can happen due to the growth in the
number of generators connected to distribution systems. To ensure that the system operates
within the quality standards imposed by regulatory agencies, utilities must evaluate the
connection requests prior to the installation of a new photovoltaic generator (PV). Conducting
case-by-case studies requires a large number of man-hours and processing time due to the need of
repetitive power flow and short-circuit calculations. Thus, the development of metrics and
procedures that allow the utility engineers to assess the connection requests faster should be
adopted. This paper presents a sensitivity study of hosting capacity with respect to local network
parameters. From the results provided by the sensitivity study, a graphic approach is proposed to
check if a rooftop PV can be connected to the low voltage distribution system without any steady-
state overvoltage problem.

Renewable Energy Plants

Escola Politécnica da USP, SP, Brasil
In Brazil, the Isolated Systems represent those unconnected to the National
Interconnected System. They are geographically distributed in 234 systems (representing a load
of approximately 482,7 MWavg), mainly located in the Northern States, where the environmental
preservation and great distances make the connection with the National System unfeasible. As
consequence and given the favorable logistics for fuel supply, they are characterized by the strong
dependence of small diesel power generation, an expensive fuel source and environmentally
unfriendly. Then, the replacement of diesel per renewables power generation systems can bring
benefits for the Isolated Systems. In this context, we propose a general methodology that aims to:
(i) minimize the overall costs of electric power generation in Isolated Systems and (ii) to evaluate
the technical and economic attractiveness of renewable generation systems implantation in such
locations. The considered portfolio is composed by solar, wind and small hydroelectric power
plants, which stand out for being environmentally suitable and be operated in an integrated way
at minimal global cost.

Researches conducted in the northern coast of Brazil reported significant potential
indicators of tidal energy (tides and tidal currents) especially at the coast of the states of Amapá,
Pará and Maranhão. Those regions are characterized by the strong influence of large rivers,
especially of the Amazon river, with an enormous volume of sediments. The performance of a
submerged hydrokinetic turbine considering a marine environment with high sediment content is
yet unknown. In this paper, the study of the impact of the sedimentation level on the performance
of hydrokinetic turbines in oceanic estuaries is presented. Studies and simulations were
performed using the ANSYS platform. As case study, a site located in the Bay of São Marcos
(State of Maranhão) was considered. The data of ocean currents was collected in March of 2017
and used to elaborate a mathematical model to analyze the behavior of a marine hydrokinetic
turbine in environments with high sediment content. Results of performance of the turbine are
reported, including sensitivity analysis in relation to sediment concentration and ocean depth as
well.

This work proposes an optimization application for the planning of the operation of
storage systems in electricity distribution networks with the insertion of renewable wind
generation. For this, an optimum power flow algorithm is applied with the inclusion of the power
supplied or absorbed by banks of batteries as an optimization variable in the developed model.
The objective is to minimize technical losses with minimum investment cost in storage systems,
observing network constraints, such as voltage limits and load curves, as well as the variation of
power from the renewable energy sources present in the system. A contribution of this work is
analysis of the best places of the network for the allocation of batteries through sensitivity
indexes from Lagrange multipliers. Another contribution is the assessment of the impact of
representing the battery efficiency variation with its state of charge and current. A case study
using a known system in the literature is performed to evaluate the proposed application.

Storage devices, as batteries, super capacitors and flywheel systems are being introduced
or investigated to be added to modern electric distribution systems (EDS) for many reasons.
Among them, it can be highlighted the increased growth of the distributed generation (DG) in an
electrical network due to technical and environmental issues. The battery energy storage systems
(BESS) aid the operation of renewable resource based DG within the concepts of smart grids,
since such generation presents an intermittent behaviour over a planning period. The connection
of a BESS into the electrical grid comprises some power electronic devices as power converters
with relevant impact over some network requirements as the energy quality, the voltage and
frequency levels, the power factor and the total harmonic distortion. Therefore, the output must
be properly handled before being injected into the system. Moreover, there charging behaviour of
a BESS is non-linear and the evaluation of such parameter is important for preserving the life
time of the battery as well as too obtain a good quality signal at its output. Finally, some
constraints of a dynamic model for a BESS are significant, as its output current, internal
impedance and voltage between poles. A proper parameter setting of a BESS dynamic model can
enable an efficient control strategy to improve the system operation. In the described scenario,
the application of optimization approaches is potential to find a good setting for a BESS control in
face of the EDS requirements. For instance, an optimization method is applied in [1] that seeks to
obtain the optimum value of the Proportional-Integral-Derivative gains which reduce the steady
state error. In the same line of research, the present paper proposes an optimization approach
based on the metaheuristic known as Artificial Immune System (AIS). The objective is to obtain
good parameters setting for a BESS that optimizes the voltage behaviour of the system output for
improving the energy quality at the connection point with the grid. Constraints as the minimum
and maximum SOC and recharging rate, as well as maximum output voltage overshooting are
observed.

União da Indústria de Cana de Açúcar (UNICA), SP, Brasil
In 2014, the average Price for Settling Differences (PLD) started January at R$ 378/MWh
and was in February and March at the upper regulatory limit (R$ 822/MWh). During the same
period, biomass generation increased by more than 70% in relation to the same quarter of 2013.
In April 2017, the weekly PLD exceeded the level of R$ 300/MWh and this is indicating that it
should remain higher than in 2016. Considering that the supply of biomass generation is not so
inelastic in the short-term, this conjuncture could stimulate biomass generation. However, the
regulatory scenario had the following changes that inhibit this extra generation: (i) the process of
judicializing/default in financial settlements in the spot market (MCP); (ii) a large part of the
biomass plants had no physical guarantee defined in a regulatory act in 2014/15 and started to
have in 2017; (iii) even for the plants that had physical guarantees granted, a new methodology to
review the ballast was instituted in 2017, also making it difficult to sell additional generation in
contracts. The article presents the following proposal: allow that the monthly biomass generation
can be sold in the form physical guarantee or contracts, avoiding positive exposure in the MCP.

Wind and hydro power plants are classified into renewable energy because they
contribute to decrease the greenhouse effect. However, the power production by these sources
depends on the climate variables like precipitation and wind which can be affected by climate
changes. Most of expansion and operation studies carried out by the National Interconnected
System (SIN) in Brazil use historical data of these variables and do not take into consideration
the dynamics associated with climate changes. Thus, it is recommended to analyze such changes
into the current operational planning, mainly because almost 90% of the power generation in
Brazil comes from hydro and wind sources. Some studies prove the existence of the
complementarity between wind and water sources in several regions of Brazil, through the
analysis of historical wind and precipitation series. This paper analyses the wind and
precipitation time series behavior and their correlation using both the historical and future data.
The future data are the results from the Global Climate Models (GCM), based on the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) with the current update of the last meeting
in 2014. These are further transformed by downscaling to obtain a better resolution using the
ETA regional model. The regional model ETA has been the main tool to produce weather and
climate forecasts over South America since 1996 by the National Institute for Spatial Research

The Human Development Index (HDI) is a benchmark used to rank countries through
their "human development" degree. This index is also aided in the indication of countries as
developed (very high human development), developing (medium and high human development)
and underdeveloped (low human development). It is an important indicator of the benchmark for
measuring the quality of life of people between countries. The level of energy consumption per
capita is one of the components of the parameter list used, without calculating the HDI, being
linked to people's energy consumption. Therefore, it is necessary that the person has a condition
of electric power, having a shower with heating through the electrical resistance, has a television
set, among other resources that depend directly and indirectly on electricity. All countries with
high HDI rates are consumers of large amounts of electricity. The per capita consumption of
electricity, measured in kilowatt-hours per inhabitant per year (kWh/hab/year) in developed
countries, as some variations, is considered as the minimum desirable parameter consumption
6,000 kWh/hab/ year. In Brazil, this figure is much lower and it is without a plateau of
2,200kWh/hab/year, that is, it is approximately one third of the minimum value necessary to
achieve a good waste of HDI. In this way, to provide electric energy at affordable costs and visibly
home environments. They are present in the agenda of the government plans of the Brazilian
municipalities. In remote localities where low-income communities are located, local electricity
generation based on the conversion of renewable primary energy sources, such as solar and wind,
has become a key factor in favor of improving the regional HDI, therefore, incentives to should be
implemented by the public power in partnership with the private sector. In this sense, the paper
proposes to demonstrate that there is an opportunity to improve the HDI, with the application of
the electrification of regions not served by the local energy matrix distribution system, which
analyzes the feasibility of applying mixed structures through distributed systems
microgeneration Photovoltaic and wind power plants. The researchers carried out a mapping of
the regions that do not have energetic electrical within the Brazilian territory, as well as their
climatic conditions, with the intention of proposing combined solutions that meet each region.

This work investigates the behavior of the topology of the wind turbine based on Doubly
Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) when simulating faults in the stator and rotor machine
terminations. A DFIG model was simulated in the Matlab / Simulink software using a voltage
source with Thévenin equivalent to simulate an electrical network, an interface transformer, a
2MVA induction machine and two-level VSC voltage source converters connected in the back-to-
back topology. The control of the converters was conceived from the vector control strategy using
PI controllers designed from the Symmetric Optimum Method. The crowbar protection and
current protection of the inverters were also implemented in the simulation and then validated to
simulate the approximate behavior of the real DFIG system and then to verify the transient
behavior of the DFIG at the moment of single-phase, two-phase and three-phase faults at the
machine terminals. The objective of this investigation is to discover information still scarce in the
literature on the transient behavior of the DFIG topology, including the generating unit, cc link

The proposed paper is concerned with protection schemes of wind turbines, mainly for
protect the turbine from internal faults. The faults were applied in the converters’ terminals, i.e.,
in the stator and rotor side terminals. The paper begins with a control validation of an DFIG
topology with back-to-back converter and MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking). Then, some
protection devices, such as over-current, differential-current, over- and sub-voltage, power flow
and crowbar protection are included in the model and tested over different machine operations
mode, as well as fault conditions. The simulated system was modeled in Simulink and the
protection algorithms in Matlab software. After the validation of the protection algorithms, they
were co-simulated by PIL (Processor in the loop) with ARM Cortex M4 microcontroller. The
objective of this investigation is to discover information, still scarce in the literature, on the
transient behavior of the DFIG topology, including the generating unit, cc link and converters in
the moment of internal faults, as well as discuss about the protection scheme algorithms.

Escola Politécnica da Universidade de São Paulo (USP), SP, Brasil
Wind energy has been considered an attractive alternative for electricity generation.
There are several studies in the literature on faults in wind farms. There is, however, a lack of
research that includes internal faults in wind turbines. In this work the transient behaviour of a
variable speed wind turbine with a synchronous generator is investigated. A computational model
for the wind turbine was developed, using vector control techniques for back-to-back converter.
The PI controller gains were adjusted using the symmetric optimum method. The DC chopper
overvoltage protection and built-in over-current protec- tion of the converters were incorporated
to the system, in order to obtain the closest possible behaviour of the real system in the
simulation. Fault events were simulated at several points of the electrical system, varying the
fault resistance and fault type, and also considering different wind incidences. This research aims
to provide information on the transient behaviour of the wind turbine with synchronous machine,
covering the internal components such as the electric generator, direct current link and power
converters at the moment of internal faults to the system.

Due wind intermittence, the wind turbine annual energy generation is far from
theoretical one that arises from considering the nominal power of the turbine in the same period.
That situation is quantified by the so called Capacity Factor (CF). It depends of wind and turbine
characteristics. The CF is determinant for studies on feasibility and long term scenarios.
Calculation programs use the CF as an exogenous datum and, in some cases, as a constant in
wide regions. That induces –in some measure- rudimentary results. On the other hand, nowadays
there is some registered evidence about changes in wind velocity, around the world and also in
Patagonia. Then, the necessity of an accurate calculus for the CF over every specific region
emerges for reducing errors in mentioned studies of feasibility and long term scenarios. Another
problem is that –for CF calculus- it is necessary to use mean wind velocity at turbine height. That
data is of very difficult obtaining. At present work we propose to calculate the CF for two regions
in Argentina using wind data obtained from private individuals and for various power curves of
wind turbines. Results will be compared with others from regional data in use. We also propose to
compare the results with others calculated based on wind data at 10 m (supplied by national
weather service). That will permit quantify errors originated in turbulences and ground
roughness.

Photovoltaic (PV) generation has attracted worldwide attention as a potential energy
source due to the necessity of diversifying the primary energy resources, technological advances
and reduction of costs. In this context, CPFL, one of the largest private utilities in Brazil, decided
to implement a 1 MWp solar farm, called USFV Tanquinho. Based on several measurements,
such as irradiance, active power, DC voltages and currents, collected along the operation of USFV
Tanquinho from January 2016 to April 2017, this paper analyzes the influence of cloud
enhancement, shading and soiling on solar farm efficiency and operation. Overall, this work
analyzes an extensive field data collection intending to assess three problems commonly faced in
photovoltaic generation in order to shed light on these issues.

Universidad Nacional de San Juan (UNSJ) y CONICET, San Juan, Argentina
Distributed renewable generation, such as rooftop solar photovoltaic, has grown
exponentially in the past few years. Despite its benefits, investments in solar energy need to be
encouraged in underdeveloped countries. More than 50% of Argentinian population lives and
works in cities, which actually represent more than 80% of the energy demanded all over the
country. In addition, 30% of this energy is consumed by buildings, where exist substantial saving
opportunities through the use of photovoltaic panels and small wind turbines. The recent
Argentinian Law 27.191 about the use of renewable energy, states that for the year 2025, 20% of
electrical consumption must be provided by clean energy sources. One of the challenges, among
many others more technical, that face self-generation decisions is about the economic benefits
that this technology can provide, since uncertainty about important variables like feed-in tariffs,
technology costs, and government policies is high. In this work, we have applied a modern
economic method to evaluate a rooftop solar photovoltaic project investment in a government
building in San Juan, Argentina (Civic Center of San Juan), in order to aid decision making. To
consider uncertainties, we apply Monte Carlo simulation to achieve an stochastic option
valuation. The option of “differing” the investment was taken into account. Therefore, the decision
of “when” is the right moment to exercise the option of investing is answered after a real option
analysis.

The objective of the project is to study and characterize the ocean wave energy resource in
the southeast coastal area of the Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The incipient development
in the country of this type of energy, the limited available information from official organisms and
the complexity of the thematic, lead to the necessity of working with qualitative information
derived from secondary sources. The study was restricted to the coastal area of the Buenos Aires
province ounded y the parallels 35°00’S and 41°00’S where 10 years of o servations were
carried out between the years 2000 and 2009. The information, provided by the Service of Naval
Hydrography of the Ministry of Defense, was processed and validated according to a defined
methodology for this case. This data was used to estimate the Significant Wave Height, the Mean
Wave Period and the Annual Mean Power, for the analyzed decade. From the results obtained in
the present work and considering the specific technical aspects it can be concluded that there is a
potential wave energy resource in the studied region, and it would be technically feasible to use it
for energy generation.

This paper presents an economic feasibility study of a possible implementation of a
photovoltaic system at a Brazilian University, which is a consumer connected to medium voltage
level. In this study, it is considered current electricity and equipment prices, as well as, applied
taxes. A sensitivity analysis is performed to find the best size of the solar power generation to the
university campus. Also, an additional study considering annual readjustment on electricity
prices is performed to evaluate the sizing and investment return with a different economic
perspective. This study considers net present value (VPL), internal rate of return (TIR) and
payback period to evaluate the investment. Finally, a tax incentive program is proposed to lower
prices of equipment, which boosts the investment return. The simulations results are promising
and show clearly that the current legislation and incentives are having good effect. However,
more incentive from the government would be considerably great to encourage even more
consumers to invest in distributed small/medium scale renewable energy.

In recent years, photovoltaic energy use has been raising on the entire world, appearing
among the largest sources of renewable energy generation, behind only of wind energy and
hydroelectric power. In Brazil, even with all the favorable natural characteristics, this energy
does not have much participation in the energy matrix. With measures to promote the use of the
sun as a source of renewable energy generation, Brazil begins to see an increase in the
exploitation of photovoltaic energy. This study sought to analyze the best moment to invest in a
residential photovoltaic system, applying the Real Option Theory (ROT). The analysis were
carried out through the estimated cash flow during the useful life of the photovoltaic system and
the value of the project was calculated considering two premises, the immediate implantation of
the system, or using the option to wait to invest in the following year, searching the best scenario
for the investor. Traditional valuation methods such as net present value (NPV), internal rate of
return (IRR) and payback, as well as, the real options theory were used in this study as project
evaluation methods.

This paper presents the design and implementation of a solar-electric hybrid heating
system that allows the maintenance of adequate thermal conditions in an anaerobic digester also
developed to adapt to the climate of the northern region of Argentina, where two extremely
important factors are combined: levels High solar radiation and extensive areas dedicated to
intensive cattle breeding. The digester is buried, which reduces heat losses to the medium, at the
same time has a thermal insulation designed with disposable materials that covers the internal
walls of the same. The total capacity of the digester is 1200 liters. This is built to work
continuously, has three containers that work in series, so the load goes through each one of these.
The heating system has a control circuit composed of two electronic thermostats that
simultaneously measure the temperature of the digester and the solar collector. The heating
system consists of a coil installed inside the digester, valves of water with electric lock and a
water pump. To evaluate the proposed hybrid system, the temperature is measured at various
points in the system. The results in the measurements of the various tests have been satisfactory
and demonstrate the advantage of using solar thermal energy in this case.

In Brazil, crises in the water sector have been recurrent, and, taking into account that the
generation of energy in Brazil is largely from generation in Hydropower Plants, and that the
main function of water, according to the Agência Nacional das Águas - ANA is the human supply
and the watering of animals, not the generation of energy, generation is a scenario where more
than ever, incentives and investments in the diversification of the energy matrix are needed.
Associated with this, we have the real insertion of the need to study and use alternative sources
of energy, and of energy use from the industrial sector. Thus, this study aims to analyze and
present solutions to improve the energy matrix in a proposal of distributed generation using the
spaces and potential energy potential located in the industrial, rural and municipal sectors. For
this, this work presents a possibility of building solar plants in degraded areas and the use of
energy, coming from the water supply network, using pumps functioning as turbines to recover
energy in the supply system. And present the results in order to try to classify them as to their
environmental, energy and economic impacts, aiming to understand the implementation of these
sources, and their importance for society as a whole.

In Brazil, in the next few years it is expected a great growth of the wind and photovoltaic
solar on grid and off-grid generation as well. This diversification also begins to become a reality in
the distribution, in the form of micro-generation, mainly solar photovoltaic. Among the various
technologies available and emerging batteries, those using acid lead adapted for deep discharge
still prevail competitively. However, these types of batteries have their performance affected by
the sulfating process. This process reduces the useful life and can impact the viability of using
this type of battery banks in the presence of intermittent sources. Sulfation also influences the
state of charge of the battery, making it difficult to predict which energy can be stored and reused
at a certain stage of battery life. Currently, the models used to represent the batteries are very
simple and inaccurate. In this paper, we propose a solution using neural network to estimate the
state of charge of lead acid battery banks, to have a more reliable estimation of the current stored
energy available to take operational decisions in microgrids operation. As a case study, real data
from an isolated microgrid from the north of Brazil is considered.

The most favorable sites for the exploitation of oceanic energy are characterized by high
current intensities and high average tide height, as well as adequate bathymetry and tide data.
In Brazil, the greatest amplitudes and speeds of tide are in the north and northeast, in the states
of Amapá, Pará and Maranhão. For example, the energy potential available on the coast of the
State of Maranhão was estimated at 22 TWh / year. In terms of tidal currents, the São Marcos
Bay in Maranhão and the channel of Varador in Amapá should be highlighted. However, Brazil
does not yet have an inventory with the potential of tidal currents. This article deals with the
optimal design of a micro power plant based on tidal current energies. In order to ensure reliable
power supply to the isolated system, a storage system must be taken into account. Considering
the variation of the sea currents as well as the energy demand curve, the problem is formulated
as a multi-period nonlinear optimization problem. As a case study, it is considered a place located
in the Bay of São Marcos (Maranhão), more specifically in the channel of the island of Medo.
Through the in-situ data the available energy potential curve is obtained. The physical,
environmental and economic constraints of the problem to be optimized are identified and
formalized.

The present study had as objective to carry out the quantitative survey of the residues in
the municipality of Lages-SC, and to evaluate the economic viability of slow pyrolysis with rotary
drum in the municipality to generate electricity, since the health services wastes are now
transported to the West of the State and after the sterilization of these in autoclave, is available
in Class I and II landfills. By means of an economic analysis, it was verified that there is the
impossibility due to the costs of the Group A residue being very low, reducing the time of return of
the investment of the pyrolysis unit, in which it would take 25 years for the recovery, making it
unfeasible due to the Long-term return to investors. It is analyzed that with the treatment
capacity of 2 tons/day which would generate 50 kWe, and is similar to the production of the
municipality, it would be necessary to raise the waste treatment price to twice the current price,
which is 0,83R$/liter and would have to be 1.86R$/liter to occur viability in 2 years.

The provision of frequency and voltage reference on isolated microgrids is realized
through diesel generators, which have some disadvantages, such as loud noise generation,
emission of harmful gases, fossil fuel consumption, etc. The proposal of this article is an
alternative to the use of these generators, using a energy storage system, a frequency inverter,
and a DC-DC bidirectional buck-boost quadratic converter and an appropriate control. The
inverter control strategy proposed in this paper to establish reference to a microgrid is based on
the virtual synchronous generator control for inverters to mimic the behavior of traditional
synchronous machines. This article presents a modeling made on EMTDC/PSCAD of a microgrid
including local loads, battery system, DC-DC converters, power inverters, wind turbine and solar
array located at Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo - BR. The results prove the efficiency of
the adopted control, maintaining the voltage and frequency of the microgrid constant during load
changes, as well as providing active and reactive power balance to the isolated system.

Assessment of Flexible Investments in Solar-Photovoltaic Generation

Instituto de Energía Eléctrica, UNSJ-CONICET, Argentina
Risk management is a key concept when deciding investments in electricity markets.
Power investment projects are capital-intensive, largely irreversible and subject to high
uncertainties on future returns. Fortunately, most projects have strategic flexibilities embedded
to manage uncertainties and mitigate risks under unfavorable market scenarios. Modern
corporate finance recognizes Real Option analysis (ROA) as the correct approach for valuing
investment projects with these features. Because of environmental concerns and fuel price
escalations, power generation based on renewable sources has shown a dramatic global growth in
the last decade. Argentina has recently established aggressive support policies for meeting
ambitious renewable targets. Renewable investment projects share many of the mentioned
characteristics. Hence, option valuation methods can be applied for appraising the monetary
worth of managerial flexibility embedded in renewable power investments. In this work, a
methodology for assessing the economic value of a photovoltaic power plant under uncertainty is
presented. ROA is applied to determine the monetary value of delaying the investment decision in
order to wait for better market information and for cost abatements due to technological
development. In addition, the economic value of relocating the solar power plant in the future to a
more attractive site in terms of costs, grid access and/or regulatory policies is also considered. The
option valuation problem is solved by means of stochastic simulation combined with recursive
approximate dynamic programing techniques. The developed methodology can be used by
investors for efficient decision making and by regulatory agencies for designing proper support
policies to encourage investments in renewable generation.

This paper proposes a methodology to identify the repetition of the wind series over the
years. The approach is based on the portfolio selection of wind power generation projects proposed
in Miguel's thesis. The main contribution of the work is the use of windows of short time, which
avoids the need for an old data history, ie, the historical data of the wind do not affect the result
of the portfolios when applying the proposed method. Thus, it is possible to provide subsidies to
the generator to decide future investments from energy generation data and the latest wind
maps. The methodology takes into account limited financial resources and is based on the use of
Markowitz's theory. A relevant contribution of this proposal is its ability to minimize costs,
thanks to the use of more recent measures that allow the analysis of geographical areas, which
were not considered previously because they do not have an old data history. The paper presents
relevant results that show the feasibility and effectiveness of the present proposal.

The increase of solid waste generation is a concern for modern society because its
incorrect disposal can lead to risks to public health and pollution of the environment. Landfills
are the most used method for Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) disposal in Brazil, and they generate
by-products such as biogas that can be exploited and used to produce bioelectricity. Therefore, it
is possible to avoid the use of fossil fuels by generating equivalent amount of electricity and
reducing emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG). This work aimed to study the use of biogas
generated in landfills located in the city of São Paulo, Brazil, as a source of renewable energy,
analyzing the technical aspects and economic viability of bioelectricity generation using an
Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) and a Gas Turbine (GT). This study showed that the three
landfills can generate about 41 MW of bioelectricity with ICE or 39.3 MW with GT. It also proved
the use of biogas from landfills to be an economically viable approach to generate bioelectricity.

This paper presents the results of an investigation about the photovoltaic (PV) generation
effects on the protection of distribution power systems. For this, a distribution test system is
implemented in a computational environment, where all the components of the power system and
PVs under analysis are modeled. The PVs models are included in different points of the grid and
three-phase and single-phase faults are simulated. Thus, it is possible to analyze the contribution
of DG to the short-circuit currents and how much it impacted in the relay's response. In addition,
the voltage levels at the DGs coupling bus is also monitored to verify the voltage minimum
requirements defined by power distribution companies for the connection into the grid. The
signals obtained in the simulations are converted to COMTRADE format and loaded into a
current and voltage injection test equipment, thus allowing the analysis of the performance of a
protective relay with and without DG.

Increasing installation of grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) energy systems demand more
accurate prediction of their operational performance. Argentina has prompted the research that
aims to establish the relationships between output efficiencies and weather parameters. The
direct use of efficiency figures quoted y PV manufacturers, normally based on measurements
taken in clean laboratory environments of 25°C and at standard air density, is often not
appropriate as field studies have demonstrated the actual outputs could be reduced by as much as
60% in dusty or polluted climate without regular cleaning. The experimental investigations and
case study took place in the city of Mar del Plata in the southeast of Argentina. First, outdoor
field measurements were taken and then a statistical evaluation of weather parameters and
system outputs from the actual PV installation was produced for a whole year. The results
obtained are then compared with irradiation data provided by the National Renewable Energy
Laboratory (NREL) and deviations between those estimations and experimental data is
presented.

This paper is focused on the study of fluid dynamic behavior of mixtures of the sugarcane
bagasse particles and quartz sand in a transparent fluidized bed column. The minimum
fluidization velocity (Vmf) was determined through different means particles diameter and
different mass fractions in the mixtures compositions. The values of (Vmf) of the mixture
increased while increasing the size and quantity of biomass particles in the binary mixture in the
range of diameter of 9.5 mm < dpb < 0.225 mm. Binary mixtures with diameter ratios
iomass/sand ≤ 1 had a (Vmf) almost constant as a function of mass fraction of biomass. It is
suggested a practical upper limit of biomass fraction in the mixtures less than 5% of the overall
bed mass to obtain a good mixing and uniform distribution in the bed. New correlations were
developed to predict the values of (Vmf). It was found that the present proposed correlation
predicted the (Vmf) for binary mixtures of sugarcane bagasse and sand particles in a more
accurate form than other correlations reported in the literature.

The accuracy of the line parameters are importance for the setting of line protection
relays and for accurate systems studies. Assessment line parameters by measurements is usual
part of the commissioning tests. These parameters are calculated from electrical magnitudes
which are measured in tests. In both, measurement and calculation stages the procedure raises
some difficulties. An important issue is the electromagnetic coupling with other lines that operate
the power frequency. These interferences affect the measurement when the tests is in the same
frequency. There are on the market test equipment that avoid this error by estimating the
impedances from measurements made at different, but near, frequencies. They are based on
power electronics and digital processing to filter the interference. The IEE-UNSJ-CONICET
institute has undertaken a development based on this approach. The main concepts, as well as
the first results, are shown in the paper. The paper also addresses the procedure for calculating
line parameters from the measurement. There is currently no well- established procedure for this
task. The methodology usually applied is based on the simplification that result in errors,
especially for long lines. An iterative procedure has been developed to avoid this source of error.

Backflashovers (BFs) are one of the main causes of faults leading to outages in power
systems. In this context, the tower-footing impedance plays a key role in overvoltages caused by
lightning stricking at the towers. Then a low tower-footing impedance is desirable for reducing
BFs. Typically, tower-footing impedance is made by long electrodes in different shapes and
orientation buried in soil. Grounding impedance has been evaluated by many models and numeric
methods in frequency and time domain, which the electrode is represented by its lumped or
distri uted parameter models. It has een also used numerical methods for solving Maxwell’s
equations applied in the electrode geometry. In this paper, the impedances of two electrodes,
buried vertically and horizontally at different soils, are calculated in frequency domain by
Distributed Parameter Transmission Line Theory (DPTLM) and by numerical Method of
Moments (MoM). These impedances are represented by an electric circuit, obtained by Vector
Fitting technique, directly in time domain. Finally, a lightning strike is applied at each electrode
and the Grounding Potential Rise is calculated and compared by DPTLM and MoM.

This paper proposes an algorithm based on Artificial Neural Networks to classify, locate
faults and determine fault resistances in transmission lines with series compensation. The
training of ANNs requires three-phase voltage and current signals measured at the one terminal
of the line from different faults scenarios. First of all, a total of 504 scenarios are implemented in
the Alternative Transient Program (ATP). These data are processed by means of mathematical
techniques. The methodology adopted includes filtering, interpolation and the Method of Least
Errors in order to obtain the phasor modules of the samples to be used in trainings. The adopted
topology of ANNs is the Multilayer Perceptron implemented according to the backpropagation
algorithm and uses Levenberg Marquardt supervised learning technique. The proposed algorithm
produced meaningful results when tested for different fault scenarios. The applied algorithm has
reached accurate results for different failure angles values, transmission line length and series
capacitance.

Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM), Santa Maria, RS, Brasil
It’s proposed a new methodology to lock distance relays under power swing. The method
is based on the comparison of the voltage signal with periodic signals, requiring simple
adjustments which doesn’t need intensive studies over power electrical system. It is used the
Mean Square Error concept of time periodic signals in relation to the sampled voltage signal with
the objective of block in power swing e unblock in fault during power swing. In other words, the
voltage signal is compared to signals generated by a periodic function, usually used in the electric
engineering field, such as sinusoidal, triangular and sawtooth. The proposed methodology
presents as main advantage in relation to the conventional methods its capacity to identify faults
during power swing events. The method was tested in several scenarios, varying the oscillation
frequency, the loading angle and the fault distance, verifying its efficiency when compared to the
other methods used to the same purpose. As differential, it was verified the good performance
under any range of swing frequencies, fault applied distance and response time about 2 cycles of
60Hz.

This article presents the application of models that identify and analyze the effect of the
movement of electrical currents of a high voltage transmission line, that operates under normal
conditions or under regimen of failure, which generates an electromagnetic field on parallel
buried pipes which are located in its proximity, inducing voltages and currents whose magnitude
depends on several factors , which include: the conditions of the approach, the magnitude and gap
of currents in the line, the electrical characteristics of the pipe and its coating. The model
considers that phases are not equidistant to the pipeline, which in normal regime arises a small
induced voltage (tens of volts) which can generate electromagnetic compatibility problems on
computers connected to the pipeline system, and electrical shock to staff in contact with it; while
in fault regime, where high currents and at the same time the maximum imbalance arise the
voltages induced in this situation may be high (in the kV range) and may cause damage to
equipment (cathodic protection), perforation of the coating, breakdowns in the line and staff
security issues eventually this in contact with the pipe.

The growth of intermittent sources participation, such as wind and solar, into power grids
has increased the need of power flow studies that deal with the considerable uncertainties
associated to them. The Taylor inclusion function, which transform the power flow nonlinear
equations with interval variables into the solution of three equations, can be efficiently used. This
come only because when using rectangular coordinate system to express the set of variables, there
is no higher order term than the second one in Taylor series expansion. In this sense, this paper
investigates a method that it is not necessary to include interval numbers and operations into
Newton iterative method, what leads to accurate results. It is proved by several tests comparing
results from the proposed method, regular interval power flow and Monte Carlo simulation. The
results are also compared to the ones from a system with larger loads.

Power transformers are considered as vital equipment for the transmission and
distribution of electric energy, thus connecting the generating centers to the consumer centers. In
this context, this work aims to investigate and analyze the electric operation coupled to the
thermal behavior of the power transformers through the Finite Element Method (MEF), in order
to evidence factors that may decrease the useful life of the equipment, thus corroborating in the

was used that is connected to the transmission system of the northern region of Brazil, the
analyzes were made using three-dimensional computational simulations through two software. .
At the end of the analysis it was verified that the excessive heating caused by inrush currents
cause thermal expansion in the turns of the winding which can cause rupture of the insulation

Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM), Santa Maria, RS, Brasil
The capacitance of the transmission lines arises a current, which appears mainly due to
the increase of the voltage and the size of the lines. The problem is that being non-physical cannot
be measured and estimation methods are needed to compensate it in protection systems. This
work intends to compare some methods that exist to calculate and to compensate the effect of the
capacitance of the Ultra High Voltage lines in the line differential protections. This comparison is
performed in the alpha plane, which presents significant advantages compared to the traditional
differential plane. These algorithms are evaluated in a system with two and three terminals,
under different operating conditions that can be presented in the network as internal, external
faults and energizations. The results showed that the four analyzed methods presented adequate
responses to the conditions evaluated, and the best method was that based on the product of the
capacitance by the voltage at the terminals of the line.

The loss of electrical and mechanical strength of polymeric insulators start as soon as
they are put in operation in the electrical field of high voltage transmission lines due to the
aging caused by thestrong electric field, mechanical load of the weight of electrical conductor
cables, vibrations, weathering, accumulation of pollutants containing salts, Corona discharge,
acid generation. The two main critical failures of the polymeric insulators are the mechanical
failure of GFRP by the brittle fracture and/or electric breakdown known as flashover due to the
loss essentially of the hydrophobicity and build-up of pollutants. Among the new technologies for
inspection of internal and hidden defects in polymeric insulators related to the brittle fracture,
is the radiography with ionizing radiation, but in the high and the extra-high voltage
transmission lines, X-rays or γ-rays can drastically reduce the voltage breakdown voltage due
to the combined effects of air ionization and the Townsend discharge mechanisms. At present
work, experimental results of testing aiming to evaluate the combined effect of air ionization
around polymeric insulators of 500 kV induced by X-ray at different distance and up to 640 kV
are presented and discussed.

composite of GFRP can result in catastrophic break-age of the insulator string and conductive
cables go to ground. In the present work, aiming to mitigate brittle fracture of composite rod of
GRFP, a conceptual design of digital radiography system was developed, tested in laboratories

to analyze their dimensions, depths independent of the presence of thick layer of pollutants on the
silicon rubber material that covers and protects the composite of 500 kV polymeric insulators,

Analysis of the implementation of new HVDC links in the Argentine
Interconnection System (SADI)
L. Casterás and F. Muiño
Universidad Tecnológica Nacional - Facultad Regional Buenos Aires (UTN-FRBA), Buenos Aires, Argentina
The Argentine territory and therefore the Argentine Interconnection System (SADI) has
the peculiarity of having a large extension and the demand for energy is mainly concentrated in a
small portion. The generation is installed where there are primary sources of energy and in
regions of Low demand, so these usually have the characteristics of being highly exporting areas
such as Comahue, NEA and NOA and be at a great distance from the centers of consumption. As
for SADI demand, two- thirds of it is concentrated in the GBA area, the Province of Buenos Aires
and the south of the Coastal area. At the same time it is studied that the growth of the total
demand of the country is at 4% per annum, which will require an incipient analysis and execution
of new generation projects to supply it. There are studies of exploitation of hydraulic resources
and of renewable energies that must be taken into account for the growth of the generating park,
which have identical characteristics of remoteness with the centers of consumption. Along with
the growth of the installed power will be necessary the expansion of the transmission and
distribution network to link the generation with the consumption fulfilling parameters of quality
and continuity of the supply. This motivates to think of the HVDC transmission as a viable
alternative for such a connection because it has technical and economic advantages compared to
the conventional transmission in alternating current, when trying to transmit large levels of
power over great distances. In the following work we analyze different possibilities considering
this advantage: 1) Energy export from the Comahue area to GBA, 2) Energy exports from the
NEA area to GBA and 3) Export of energy from the Patagonian area to GBA. Then taking into
account additional advantages of the HVDC transmission, since this type of link does not increase
the short-circuit power at the nodes between which it is connected and the property of having
lower losses because there is no reactance in the busway, they are analyzed Two possible projects:
4) Exportation of the GBA area to the Ezeiza node of Central Costanera and 5) Interconnection of
the SADI with Tierra del Fuego through an HVDC submarine link crossing the Strait of
Magellan. A description of the generation projects considered in each case is made and a
methodology is developed to determine a ranking that allows to distinguish the projects that are
more convenient to build with their due justification and conclusions.

The dimensioning of a modular multilevel converter’s electrical components is an
important stage of its project. Besides affecting the converter’s performance, under- or
overdimensioned elements could cause higher operation or construction expenditure. Thus, this
article presents a comparison between three particular methods for determining the arm
inductance and the submodule capacitance of a Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) in terms of
circulating current magnitude, su module voltage ripple, and controller’s performance. The three
design approaches are applied to a High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission system
consisting in two terminals linked by a long-distance transmission line, simulated through the
software PLECS R . The results showed that the dimensioning method did not significantly
influence the converter’s controller’s per- formance, except that of the DC voltage control; on the
other hand, there were differences concerning circulating currents and su modules’ voltage
ripples.

The world is presently facing an energy crisis, which leads to a paradigm change in the
traditional electric systems: the distribution of the energy sources. These sources, being the
photovoltaic (PV) one of them, are in general of much smaller size, their behavior in front of faults
is different, behavior influenced by temperature and its dispatchability depends on weather
conditions. PV cells have special characteristics that require protective devices specifically
designed for this application, among which the fuse presents optimum features. Due to the high
number of PV cell combined, the terminals rated voltage is of the order of kilovolts, with fault
currents that are significantly increased. The electrical energy obtained from the conversion
should be transformed into 50 or 60 Hz a.c., requiring of an inverter. The equipment can includes
storage batteries, for what important values of inverse current can be presented. The gPV class
fuse represents a fuse specially designed to protect photovoltaic cells. The main differences,
requirements and challenges for fuses to be applied in distribution systems with PV generation
are analysed. The need for more coordinated work between PV cells and fuses manufacturers is
stressed, indicating the areas where this work is required.

The world is presently facing a deep energy crisis, and the electric energy is one of the
affected types. The conflicting situation in which more electric power is required everywhere
leads to a paradigm change in the traditional electric systems. The energy sources are connected
where the energy is available. During the last 50 years the installation sizes are dramatically
changing, significantly increasing the fault currents, thus fault currents are already beginning to
overcome the breaking capacities of the involved equipment, for what becomes necessary to
control such a current y using “current limiters”. Here, the limiters history is descri ed
explaining mainly their operation principles and significant characteristics. Technological
advances allow adding new types of limiters with very innovative operation principles, which
have today diverse development states from pilot stage until equipment already established in
the market. It is concluded that the peculiar characteristics of the actual distribution systems
with high DG penetration level, demand the use of fault current limiters designed especially for
this protection, showing that even more research and development work on limiters seems to be
necessary. It is indicated the necessity of a bigger joint work of the distribution systems operators
and limiters manufacturers.

This paper presents an analysis of the magnetic coupling influence between different
feeders that share the same pole or run parallel paths together on different poles in a unbalanced
distribution network. For this, an algorithm based on the Backward/Forward Sweep Method
capable of handling this magnetic coupling is developed and presented. The influence of the
magnetic coupling is analyzed for some different constructional characteristics, such as the length
of the sections of the distribution feeders that have mutual coupling, the separation distance
between the conductors and their phase sequences and geometry in the poles. Two modified IEEE
test feeders are used to simulate and comparisons are made considering and not considering the
magnetic coupling representation. The results show the need to represent this mutual coupling in
power flow analyzes, especially under certain conditions.

closed switches coupled to the beginning or to the end of distribution branches. The objective is to
improve the system reliability with minimal investment cost. The metaheuristic and bio-inspired
technique known as artificial immune system (AIS) is applied to handle the discrete feature of the
switch allocation problem. The index considered to evaluate the reliability is the system expected

The use of distributed generation (DG) has become a promising solution to the challenges
inherent in modern energy distribution systems (EDSs). This type of generation can be obtained
from several renewable sources for environmental sustainability, such as solar, wind and
biomass. Another factor that encourages DG penetration is a conversion and injection of energy
into an electric grid close to its load, which reduces the technical losses. The present work
proposes an application of a method to solve the problem of optimal allocation of solar and wind
based DG in EDS through the Harmony Search (HS) meta- heuristic. The optimization model is
proposed to determine the locations and types of DGs that minimize the total investment and
operational costs, which include costs of technical loss and gas emission. A case study with a well-
know system is performed to assess the proposed application.

Microgrids are changing the perception of the traditional distribution power systems. This
concept allows the creation of systems islands able to operate regardless of the main grid, with
some sort of controls required, when circumstances lead to the network failure. In this sight, this
paper presents a static-dynamic analysis of the islanding, islanded operation and reconnection
processes of microgrids with different levels of control. Therefore, an IEEE 34 bus modified
system presenting local distributed generation sources was considered and the islanding,
operation and reconnection processes analyzed. In addition, to ensure consistency of results,
simulations were performed for a variety of microgrid scenarios considering different levels of
control. The results shown that microgrids possessing only primary control are able to perform
the islanding and reconnection processes within satisfactory conditions for slight variations of
generation/demand. This scenario is enhanced when a secondary control methodology is
presented, maintaining the system operation at desirable conditions for higher rates of
generation/demand variations.

Diesel generating systems are used in remote areas due to uncertain or non-existent
supply and in locals where no power outage can occur due to priority costumers. However, the
operation of diesel generators has a high cost and is responsible for the emission of polluting
gases. One of the solutions capable of mitigating the impacts of this electric energy generation is
the implementation of hybrid systems with the inclusion of photovoltaic (PV) panels. A PV/diesel
hybrid system has great complexity and an optimal solution must be found for balancing the
generation of these two sources. In face of the several options for the decision about the
generation from different energy resources, the application of optimization methods is attractive
to establish a suitable trade-off between objectives and constraints, leading to an operation with
efficiency and economic sustainability. Therefore, the paper proposes an approach for the
optimization of the design for a PV/diesel power generation system. The objective is reduce the
cost of a microgrid implementation through the optimal sizing of the hybrid generation system
with a focus on reliability. Moreover, in order to verify the real cost of the microgrid, the
commercial HOMER® software is used for simulating the test system.

Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata (UNMdP), Mar del Plata, Argentina
This work presents the development of a computer tool for locating short-circuit fault in
rural electricity distribution systems. The calculation is based on the analysis of the fault
impedance assuming that it is purely resistive. The implemented methodology proposes to
determine mathematically the impedance of failure as a function of a variable distance knowing
the measures of voltage and current of pre-failure and fault taken in the head of the distributor.
The tool is validated by modeling a distributor belonging to an electric power cooperative in a
power system simulation program. In the same program different types of short-circuits are
simulated to extract the necessary data of entry to the developed algorithm, which estimates the

The correct operation of power distribution networks and its failures resilience is
fundamental for both the network operator and its users, especially considering the importance of
electric energy in human activities. In this sense, and with the aim of systematizing the research
studies regarding with this type of networks, a computational application to simulate problems of
planning and operation in power distribution networks from a smart grids context has been
developed. Specifically, this paper describes the development of a centralized model of electrical
service restoration for this simulation environment and its implementation and integration
details into the platform. Simulation results for different fault scenarios and different testing
distribution networks are presented. Simulations also consider the presence of distributed
generation during the restoration processes, thus showing the potential of the simulation tool
developed for studies and research on smart grids.

This article presents an alternative method for the reconfiguration of Energy Distribution
Systems (EDS) through a mathematical decomposition method divided in two stages. One of the
objectives is to determine the best configuration of keys that improves the power balance
demanded by each feeder of the distribution network, observing important restrictions for its
operation, such as connectivity and radiality. Load balancing implies avoiding overloads and
leads to greater reliability for system operation. A mixed binary nonlinear mathematical
programming model is used in conjunction with the applied decomposition technique. A test
system is used to verify the proposed technique, this system being well known in the literature.

Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (UFJF), Juiz de Fora, MG, Brasil
The present work proposes a fuzzy based particle swarm optimization algorithm for
solving the problem of optimal restoration in distribution systems. The proposed approach is
proper to handle the different objectives of this nonlinear mixed integer and combinatorial
problem from the definition of fuzzy sets for each one. In particular, the objectives include
minimizing: (i) the load cut; (ii) the interruptions to priority costumers; (iii) the number of
switching actions; (iv) the technical losses. The main contribution is the application of a
metaheuristic with fuzzy logic that considers the previous objectives in a joint manner. The
methodology considers important constraints as the radial network topology and voltage limits.
The approach is assessed by using well known test system of literature.

Adjustment and Operation of Banks Capacitors Using Three-phase
Representation
A. R. Baran Junior, R. A. Borba and T. S. Piazza Fernandes
Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR), Curitiba, PR, Brasil
Given the complexity of the distribution networks, there is a tendency to no longer use the
simplified monophasic representation of the system (the erroneous consideration that the
network is symmetrical and balanced), but to use the three-phase representation, which is more
consistent with the realities of distribution networks of 13,8 kV and 34,5 kV. This work focuses on
the influence that the three-phase representation has on the capacitor bank (CB) adjustments
and its operation. For this, this paper uses a Three-Phase OPF that allows the dimension of the
CB for the three phases or for each one of the three phases individually. This additional scaling
can ensure the satisfaction of voltage limits when the load unbalance is accentuated. Besides, as
the load varies throughout the day, this work also proposes to analyze the operation of automatic
CB using three-phase networks. The parameterization of load and operation of automatic CBs
was extended to three-phase networks. Thus, this work also parameterizes unbalanced three-
phase loads throughout a day, to establish switching of three-phase CBs. The results show that
the operation of the CBs differ using single-phase and three-phase representation when severe
load unbalance is simulated. The simulations and analysis will be presented using IEEE- 34 and
IEEE-123 buses.

Eventos que Impactam nas Perdas não Técnicas de um Sistema de
Distribuição de Energia Elétrica
P. A. Brasil Vieira dos Santos, R. E. Lopes e C. B. Martinez
Electricity Distri ution Networks have energy losses classified as “technical” and “non-
technical” losses. Technical losses are related to electric energy dissipation in several parts in the
system such as in the distribution, transforming and points of supply, and are inherent to the
process, i.e. cannot be prevented by the Distribution Network Operators. The so called non-
technical losses are caused by events such as metering errors, billing errors and energy theft. The
sum of those losses may significantly impact the technical / commercial system and constantly
concerns the Distribution Network Operators. Technical losses are regularly tracked and
monitored to be maintained within acceptable standards, i.e. they are variables that can be
controlled and can be fixed as soon as detected. Nevertheless, non-technical losses are difficult to
resolve ecause they are caused y deli erate actions of consumers or mistakes of the Operators’
employees. Losses due to energy theft cannot be predicted by the Operators. However, they can be
mapped and resolved per administrative or legal actions. The grave difficulty to identify frauds in
those cases is related to preventive measures done by the consumers, as they are aware of their
illegal action. This paper presents accounts e discovered facts about energy metering frauds that
ended up in legal suits filed after frustrated attempts of resolution in the administrative level.
The Study is embodied by data captured in judicial investigation executed in the metropolitan
region of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais State (Brazil), focused in the main fraud strategies,
recorded across one decade. The reported events are classified according to the amount of diverted
energy, per industry and residences. The most significant employees’ errors in fraud identification

those actions.

The high level of connection of photovoltaic panels in the distribution network causes
voltage problems, such as bus overvoltage, voltage deviations and unbalances. These variations
are observed in two situations, in the period in which the panels are in the maximum generation
but with low load demand and when the battery unload the energy to the system. As the majority
panels are installed on residential roofs, connected directly to the system, will be analyzed the
maximum penetration levels of panels that can be connected to a residential distribution system
without compromising the power quality, this indicator is known as hosting capacity of
photovoltaic panels. The studies will be conducted using OpenDSS software. This paper presents
the results of battery association simulations to minimize the problems due to the voltage
deviations in a balanced system of 70 buses and how much is possible increase the hosting
capacity with association of battery.

Universidade Estadual do Oeste do Paraná (UNIOESTE), Paraná, Brasil
Demand Side Management (DSM) has been traditionally seen as a mean of reducing peak
electricity demand. In this article, we will verify if these programs based on DSM are beneficial
for the electric power distribution companies in accordance with the Brazilian legislation in force.
In addition, we propose a methodology to evaluate DSM in electric distribution systems,
analyzing the benefits and limitations of the implementation of DSM programs through
differentiated tariffs, identifying which would be the impacts generated to the electric power
systems, in particular to the electric power distribution systems. In particular, the analysis will

The increase in network monitoring have raised the complexity of the power distribution
system restoration problem, demanding higher efforts to find good-quality solutions. This paper
presents results of a new self-healing methodology developed in an R&D Brazilian project, in
which the objective is to minimize an objective function constructed with several criteria (detailed
in the paper). The developed methodology is being tested using real distribution networks and
has presented appropriate performance on real-time applications. The switching operation
sequence must be carried out avoiding energizing maintenance sections and fault areas and, also,
it must comply with operational constraints in accordance with the utility operating policy. All
the needed data is prepared in off-line mode, prior to possible faults, using a feeder neighborhood
concept, and one have as many files as there are target feeders. These data are kept up-to-date so
that if a fault occurs, the target feeder is identified and the self-healing process is started at once.
The proposed self-healing methodology is also used as a function within a switch allocation
program that is also part of the R&D project. Therefore, this paper also presents details of these
developments, including tests carried out in real distribution networks.

Electric Power Distribution Systems (EPDS) has been evolving rapidly due to the
requirements of meeting quality standards and the advent of new technologies within the Smart
Grid concepts. Distributed generation and resilient operation in the form of microgrids pose new
challenges for technology and analytical tools, forcing to abandon some simplifying assumptions.
A fundamental analysis tool of EPDS is the load flow, which has traditionally been solved using
algorithms derived from Newton-Raphson method and in simpler cases using sweep based
methods. In this article, the methodologies currently in use are analyzed and discussed,
identifying aspects that can increase the efficiency and reliability of the load flow methods when
applied to modern distribution networks. An adaptive strategy for the fast-decoupled algorithm is
suggested and tested to better deal with the particularities of the new distribution networks, such
as distributed generation, closed loop operation, among others. The proposed algorithm was
validated using two test networks of 6 and 19-bus, showing good performance when compared to
conventional approaches.

Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (UFJF), Juiz de Fora, MG, Brasil
One of the main characteristics of Low Voltage (LV) distribution systems is the voltage
unbalance in distribution feeders due to typical unbalanced loads. The massive presence of
electrical vehicles (EV) connected in a single phase can increase this problem. The main
drawbacks of the voltage unbalance are related to losses, voltage sags and energy quality.
Moreover, unbalance might occur significantly in large consumers especially considering that a
set of electric vehicles could be connected uncoordinated in the same region. Shopping malls,
supermarkets industries and condominiums could be among those consumers, especially if a
recharge station is offered, paid or free of charge. This paper proposes the evaluation of large
consumers phase balancing through a coordinated charging of EVs. In order to achieve this
purpose, a simulation is held with a system that measures the current unbalance in a fixed time
interval. Then, it can define the phase which the next EV that arrives at the shopping center
should be connected and assist the system balance.

Consultoría Colombiana S.A, Bogotá, Colombia
This article proposes a model to analyze the non- technical energy losses of a distribution
system in order to evaluate the INFRACTOR’S POTENCIALITY INDEX -IPI- for different types
of clients, by the implementation of a set of procedures and analysis to the users’ invoicing of
homogenous groups, based on probabilistic methodologies, specifically, on the Bayesian decision
theory; using the historic commercial data base of consumption of all types of users, separating
those who have had fraud historically and who haven’t had. The index lets us define an indicator
of the level of potentiality for each user has been infractor, therefore, it lets us set a procedure to
identify infractors. The selected users with this methodology can have physical fraud by energy
counter or electrical connection intervention; or bad invoiced users as well, due to issues in the
invoicing process. The IPI model determinates four big groups of users with different features:
Users with High IPI - Fraudulent, Users with very low consumption in relation to the average of
the group – Caused possibly by invoicing issues, Users with no consumption – Invoicing issues,
Users with very high consumption in relation to the average of the group - Invoicing issues.

The future and inevitable depletion of non- renewable energy has boosted research in
optimization for other energy sources, such as electrical energy from renewable sources. Electrical
distribution systems have amounts of disconnecting device switches sufficient to entail problems
of combinatorial explosion when wants to modify the system topology to optimize it or eliminate
contingencies. Reconfiguration of switches is more attractive optimization technique when
compared to other expensive optimization methods, such as capacitive bank, rewiring, distributed
generation or installation of voltage transformers. A heuristic computational method based on
equation of motion of the firefly is introduced in order to optimize the distribution of electric
energy, minimizing waste by Joule effect. By discretization, the positions of the insects in space
are related to switches positions in the electrical system, reducing the search space. A real
electrical system with 110 buses and 114 lines was employed in computer simulation. Due to your
size, it becomes practically infeasible your reconfiguration by means of exhaustive search
methods. The proposed algorithm, by means of a reduced search space containing 8000 vectors of
switch states, located in the solutions which the losses are 53,5% smaller than in the original
configuration of the system employed.

Plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) are a new type of load connected to the distribution
networks, at medium and low voltage levels. As the number of PEVs increase, the utilities may be
required to perform reinforcements to adapt the networks to the new demand. In this paper, a
model is proposed to estimate the investments required for adapting the Brazilian networks and
the associated economic impacts. This model considers the rate of adhesion of PEVs in the coming
years, the increasing efficiency, and projection of the electric energy demanded by the recharges.
The estimations are calculated in investment stages and oriented according to utilities’ tariff-
review cycles, resulting in an investment schedule for the adequacy of the networks. It is done by
utility or in an aggregated way for utilities responsible for the Brazilian main cities. In the basic
scenario of PEV adhesion, the investment amount for the sector up to 2030 is estimated in US$
9.3 to 23 million. In a relative way, the amount of investment means only US$ 0.29 to US$ 0.72
per consumer. If a Time-of-Use tariff is applied, the investment per customer can be reduced to
US$ 0.11 to US$ 0.31.

This paper proposes an approach to solve the load balance (LB) problem which is typical
at the low voltage side of a three-phase electrical installation. The approach is based on the
application of the metaheuristic optimization algorithm named as Harmony Search (HS) to deal
with the combinatorial and integer programming related to LB. A practical constraint established
by the Brazilian Standard - NBR5410 of the Brazilian Technical Standard Association - ABNT is
considered. The load balance by harmony search (LBHS) is applied to a real case of a residential
building. The experiments and results by applying the LBHS method demonstrate its promising
use for correction of possible unbalance of loads at the low voltage side of the electric network.

New insulating oils were developed by fermenting sugarcane juice and obtaining a base
oil made up of β-farnasene (C15H24). One of the two types of such oils (Evoshield XFo3), and a
reference mineral insulating oil (Ergon Hyvolt II) were aged in the laboratory during 21 days at
120 ºC both with air bubbling through the oils at a flow speed of 0.15 l/h, and with no air
bubbling. Evoshield XFo3 performed better as compared with Ergon Hyvolt II taking into
consideration all the tests conducted. To confirm such preliminary results, transformer prototypes
were built to assess the performance of Evoshield XFo3 under another laboratory accelerated
aging condition. Regular Kraft, thermally upgraded Kraft, and Nomex were used as paper
insulation. Transformer prototypes were aged during 21 days at 130 ºC. Evoshield XFo3
presented a compatible performance as compared with that observed for Ergon Hyvolt II.

For protection applications, which are the subject of this paper, the specification of the
characteristics of an adequate CT must consider the transient behavior and the possibility of
saturation of it's magnetic core during a short-circuit event. This paper presents a graphical
interface developed by the authors, which makes use of ATP (Alternative Transient Program) to
model the current transformer considering it's transformation ratio, connected burden, voltage
level, system X/R, precision class and, when available, the saturation characteristic curve. To
account for the cases where the saturation curve has not been experimentally determined, an
approximative saturation curve was developed, based on the CT precision class or on it's knee
voltage. In a practical and agile way, the proposed interface allows visualizing the currents on the
primary and on the secondary (reflected on the primary), aiding the technical team with the
determination of the most adequate transforming ratio and precision class to be used in a given
CT application, in order to assure correct measuring by protection equipment and, therefore, safer
decision making by protection relays.

To meet the market demand through population and industrial growth, the power system
expansion need to guarantee the quality standards in generation, transmission, and distribution
services, investing in new facilities, optimizing system operation and even physical space, besides
considering environmental issues. In this context, the research of dielectric materials is necessary
to find a solution that maintains the dielectric properties of a power substation, but allows
decrease the substation dimensions and consider the environment preservation. Many companies
have opted to build gas isolated substations that, makes possible to reduce the area used for its
construction, even though its construction has a higher cost if compared with oil substations, for
example. Furthermore, new materials raise in a scenario where sustainability and development
have the same importance. In this context, this paper aims to discuss about insulation for

The Voltage Regulator (RT) is widely used in the distribution grid and, as its name
suggests, it regulates the mains voltage by means of a tap change with the function of
maintaining the supply voltage to the consumers within the levels established by the Agency
National Electric Power of Brazil. There are other methods of voltage regulation, through static
compensators, load balancing in the feeders, primary voltage elevation, but the electromechanical
RT has a good regulation performance and has been used since the 1940s, being known
worldwide. Although there is RT technology with electronic tap, and its operation is faster and
more accurate, its representativeness in the distribution system is still small. During the tap
change process, there are electrical arcs in the main contacts and because they are costly and
wearing components proportional to the number of maneuvers, these equipments are often
already designed with a reactor in parallel with the main contact. The present article proposes an
improvement project in the RTs with electromechanical taps, already existing in the distribution
system, applying resistors for an additional protection of the main contacts in order to extend its
useful life.

The supply of electricity by an electrical energy distribution system (EDS) must be
evaluated from some aspects that include the continuity and security, which is a challenge for the
utilities. In this sense, maintenance programs are developed for EDS and are periodically
performed aiming at improving the system reliability and avoiding outages. Moreover, corrective
procedures are planned in case of unexpected failures. The present paper proposes an
optimization approach to determine preventive and corrective maintenance plans for EDS by
applying the metaheuristic optimization method known as Artificial Immune System (AIS) to the
problem. The objective is to maximize the reliability with a minimal total cost of maintenance.
The approach considers constraints for different reliability indexes, the number of plans by
equipment, the time required by crews and the type of consumer to calculate the reliability cost.
The contributions of the paper are to apply a still unexplored technique to the problem of
maintenance planning and to assess the reliability through different indexes. Data from a test
case are used to evaluate the proposed approach.

Increasingly, there are studies related to the diagnosis of failures in power transformers,
and the techniques used for this purpose increase and improve progressively. Many researchers
are concerned with developing predictive methods that can evaluate a power transformer in real
time and without disconnecting it from its distribution network in order to increase its efficiency
and avoid unnecessary energy losses. This work seeks to develop a standard operating procedure
for the identification of failures in power transformers through thermographic tests that allow the
evaluation of system loading, finding hot spots, sub-sizing of the electrical system, equipment
overloading, as well as imbalances between the phases. The heat generated by the losses in a
transformer is directly related to the life of the insulation, which decreases due to these thermal,
mechanical and electrical stresses that interfere in its dielectric properties. The aging of the
transformer insulation system is accelerated from 75 ° C, a value established by regulatory
standards. The present work is applied in the transformers that make up the entire energy
distribution network of the Federal University of Piauí. The FLIR thermographic camera was
used to capture thermographs of the study object. The methodology defined that for data
collection the frontal image and the lower profile of the transformer would serve as main models
for this work, having other perspectives as auxiliaries. With the defined standards, the data
collection for the thermographic analysis of the transformers was followed, observing the factors
that can influence the results obtained for a more accurate diagnosis. The materials obtained in
the field were analyzed and classified, observing also other variables collected, such as ambient
air temperature, wind speed and load power, when it was possible to measure it. The

Transformers are electrical machines of major importance for distributors. Their
operation is subject to conditions that degrade their insulation system, such as: excessive
temperature, presence of humidity combined with electrical and mechanical stress, among others.
The technical life expectancy of a transformer is determined by several factors: equipment design,
historical and future events, present and future working conditions. The objective proposed was
to design and develop an algorithm with the definition of tools associated with the problem of the
life of the distribution transformer, applying the use of normal load guides in the framework of
the IEC 60076-7 standard, to manage their life history in scenaries of uncertainty (based on
weather forecasts). Using an annual database of a typical SET of the EPEC Distributor of the
Province of Córdoba, Argentina, a possible tuple scenary of values defined as K1, K2 and TK2 was
analyzed and developed, which describes the daily load state of the transformers. For this, a
function of correspondence between the historical values of these variables and the present value
was defined. Then, through the prediction algorithm, the future values of the tuples were
generated with their respective variances. Based on the results obtained in the case study
developed, a technique has been defined and used to obtain precise indicators that helps, in
advance, to program and manage the loadability of the distribution transformers accurately.

This paper aims to solve a measurement problem about the position of machines like
reclaimers and stackers applied in mining. Considering the conventional method of position
measurement using encoders inefficient, it proposes to develop an alternative system of
monitoring of reclaimer instantaneous position. PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) method was used as a
tool to support the development of an alternative system of measurement position of reclaimers,
by using the integral of the speed signal generated by the inversor of frequency responsible to
control the speed of advance of machines type reclaimer. Thus, through the integral of speed
graphics presented in the output of inversor frequency, it’s possi le to get the area elow the

A Small Linearized Signal Model Developed to Evaluate the Stability of
Power Control Circuit When the Photovoltaic Generator Provides
Frequency Response
V. R. Ramos and M. V. A. Nunes
Universidade Federal do Pará (UFPA), Belém, PA, Brasil
By integrating more and more intermittent renewable sources, such as solar and wind
power, in the generation scenario, the result is a drop in the inertial constant of the system,
causing implications for the frequency dynamics and stability and operation of the power system.
Thus, the search to provide new control strategies for such inertial systems, as well as to include
"virtual inertia" in the control of inverter-fed renewable energy sources connected to the power
system becomes important. Therefore, this paper presents a small-linearized signal model
developed to evaluate the stability of the proposed power control circuit when the photovoltaic
generator provides frequency response and discusses the emulated inertial response with
photovoltaic systems through the synthetic inertia and the control strategy of slope in the time
domain. The simulations, using MATLAB / Simulink, were performed under different speeds and
irradiation curves, with a frequency drop caused by the insertion of large loads. Comparative
results were presented to verify the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method.

This paper presents a comparison study between two methodologies based on genetic
algorithms (AG) for coordinated tuning of power system stabilizers (PSS). The two methodologies
are formulated as an optimization problem in order to: 1) maximize the minimum damping
coefficient of the closed-loop system; 2) maximize the sum of all closed-loop system damping
coefficients; and 3) to shift the undamped or poorly damped electromechanical modes to a
prescribed zone in the s-plane. The two methodologies compared in this article consider a set of
pre- specified operational conditions. The two methodologies compared in this paper consider a
set of pre-specified operational conditions. Also for the two methodologies, the electrical system is
represented by the state-space equations. The methodologies are applied to the well-known New
England test system. In the comparison, the results obtained by each method are assessed, such
as poles and zeros maps, damping factors and the time domain response.

Until the past decade, sugar mills unit produced only sugar and ethanol for
commercialization and only enough energy for their own consumption. With the federal
government's incentives through programs such as PROINFA (Incentive Program for Alternative
Energy Sources) and the energetic crisis in Brazil in 1999, the sugar mills were motivated to
market their surplus energy to the National Integrated System, enabling an important increase
in the renewable energy generated in the in the country and consequently the increase of its
financial gain. Due to produced own energy through the burning of the bagasse, there was
practically no concern with the low energy efficiency equipment that operated in these plants,
from the possibility of the commercialization of surplus energy, a work was needed to improve the
energy performance of the equipment consumption. In this way, the proposal of this work consists
of the comparative analysis of the substitution of equipment of low energy efficiency by modern
equipment, focusing both on the technical, productive and financial results of the investment. The
proposed solution has a high efficiency motor driven by regenerative frequency inverter, which
allows the generation of energy by the machine itself during the deceleration stage and as it is a
cyclic process the return of energy to the network is done repeatedly every cycle. The optimization
model to be proposed in this work was validated from data of applications in existing projects,
with results compatible with what was effectively implemented. The three hundred and seventy-
one sugar mills unit in operation in Brazil, the half part of these units still operated with low
efficiency equipment. This work shows that if the solution is adopted for units that still operate
with low efficiency equipment, the energy increase is made available to the national integrated
system equivalent to the construction of 12 small hydropower plants or three wind farms or the
result shows yet that the energy saved per harvest in each sugar mills plant is equivalent to the
annual generation of a medium sized wind generator.

Cogeneration within the New Regulations on Distributed Generation
M. I. Sosa
Universidad Nacional de La Plata (UNLP), La Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina
Cogeneration or combined heat and power (CHP) refers to simultaneous generation of
electricity and useful heating generation, being a more thermodynamically efficient use of fuel.
Distributed generation (DG) systems are decentralized, modular and more flexible technologies,
which are located close to the load, end users of power. Argentine generates the majority of
electrical power needs in large centralized facilities with capacity for large electrical power
output. Distributed energies can mediate these issues. Some provinces of Argentine have changed
regulatory aspects in order to incorporate GD. Benefits are diversification of energy matrix to
promote inclusion of distributed generation , reduction of costly fuel imports, stimulus for new
investments in the power sector, development of local suppliers of equipment and devices and
greater energy efficiency. The development of smart grids in the country will help the creation of
new capacities and technological developments at the local level. In this context, cogeneration
plays an important role. This paper discusses the relevant issues and aims of DG with CHP,
looking forward to install such systems according to the new regulations of some provinces of
Argentine.

The present work aims to study the impact of financial incentives and electricity and
gasoline prices on the economic viability of purchasing battery electric vehicles (BEV) in Brazil,
whose focus is on the capitals of all brazilian States. It has been proposed a comparison of two
automotive technologies: the first one is based on battery electric vehicles and the second one on
conventional vehicles. Payback period of battery electric vehicles acquisition have been pointed
out for all brazilian capitals, and sensitivity analysis of payback period as a function of the
variation of energy prices, economic incentives and cost of investment in electric vehicles were
conducted in five major brazilian cities. The sensitivity analysis have revealed that the variables
which most influence the payback period are the gasoline price and financial incentives granted
in the form of exemption from annual tax payment, given that the arithmetic mean value of
payback period from the purchase of such vehicles is 24.23 years in the 27 analyzed capitals.

The main goal of this paper is to analyze the viability of implementing the white tariff,
from consumers and companies viewpoint, in the context of a distribution company located in the
northeast of Brazil, Eletrobras Piaui Distribution. To achieve this, electricity load curves were
analyzed, including Group B consumers from the state of Piaui for commercial, residential and
rural classes, from which it can be created a more general profile of energy consumption. To
support this analysis, the required investments for implementing white tariff were characterized
considering the load curve of a, typically low voltage and residential, energy distribution feeder.
The results of this evaluation show that adopting this new pricing model might not always be
advantageous for the consumers in question. With regard to the supplier company, it is possible
to show that the investments under the actual regulatory structure will be very high and on the
other hand, the advantages of the peak demand may not be satisfactory. It also warns about the
impact that the sum of the costs of implantation by the concessionaire will be reverted to the
consumer in form of tariff in the periodic tariff review of the distributor.

The National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL), created in 1996, is responsible for
regulating and supervising the Brazilian electricity sector. In case of non-compliance with the
current regulation, the regulatory body initiates the instruction of punitive process and may
apply a punishment to the regulated agent. The Normative Resolution of ANEEL no. 63/2004
approves procedures to regulate the imposition of penalties distributors having as main penalties
applied warnings and fines. In this context, from a data survey, the concepts of regulation and
supervision of the Brazilian electric sector with focus on the electric energy distribution area and
the calculation methodology used to apply penalties are presented. In order to improve the
current regulation, a different form of penalty is proposed, which takes into account the amount
of sanctions applied in the inspections of continuity indicators in the last four years, when
defining the new limits of continuity indicators. In this way, Distributor "A" analyzed showed a
decrease of 10% in the limits of the indicators, having for the year 2016 a reduction from 9 to 8.1

One of the main variables of interest in the manufacture and operation of transformers is
the temperature, since it interferes in the useful life of the transformer. In this sense, the present
work proposes a thermal study for the temperature estimate of a dry-type transformer. Thus,
initially a thermal analysis was performed from experimental measurements of temperatures of a
dry-type three-phase transformer of 500kVA for different conditions of load. Then, a thermal
simulation was proposed using Finite Element Method. Therefore, the heat diffusion equation
was used, with the boundary conditions: convection and radiation equations; jointly with the
characteristics of the materials used, the transformer dimensions and the data collected
experimentally. FEMM 2D software was used for this simulation. Finally, in order to validate the
proposed analyzes, the experimental measurements were compared with the values obtained in
the thermal simulation. The results obtained have demonstrated efficacy regarding the proposed
analysis and simulation.

Universidade Federal do ABC (UFABC), Santo André – SP, Brasil
Due to the increasing demand for electricity, the quest for cleaner sources of electrical
power generation has grown too. Therefore, the study of electrical power systems with renewable
energy sources included in transmission and distribution networks is a common interest. The
increased penetration of these intermittent sources in the power system requires detailed studies,
which access its impacts in the normal functioning of electrical grids. In addition, these
integrated systems required improvements in operations and control techniques because the
electrical demand satisfaction entails the systems to its load limits. This paper presents a
research of voltage stability studies based in the determination of the maximum loading of the
electrical power system. The continuation method is applied to the power flow problem to improve
the simulations performance. The objective is modeling the system using the continuation power
flow and computing the algorithm by parallel technology to decrease the simulation time.

Lightning strikes on transmission lines are a major cause of sudden outages in the power
transmission system. When an atmospheric discharge reaches the earth wires or directly the top
of tower, a backflashover may occur. This phenomenon consists of an electric arc between the
insulators chain and the phase conductors of the line. This paper presents several simulations
developed using the Alternative Transients Program (ATP) software to evaluate the insulation
chain tolerance in a 138kV line when struck by a direct lightning at the top of the tower. From
the results of the overvoltages involved, was made the evaluation of the efficiency and the
dimensioning of several arrangements of the grounding system, in several scenarios of lightning
strikes currents and ground resistivity, in order to reduce the occurrences of interruption of the
electric power supply by backflashover.

The study of transmission lines is fundamental, but it is unviable to realize
measurements onto the real line, that is why it is necessary to applied numerical models based on
the state varia les and the numerical methods of integration. In the case of this project, π circuits
are used to represent transmission lines. Then, this model can be used to numerically simulate
electromagnetic transients. But the results are influenced by numerical oscillations, known as
Gi s’ phenomenon. Consequently, it is necessary to add damping resistances to the π circuits
minimizing these numerical oscillations. The tests were realized to verify the effectiveness of the
cascade of π circuits without the damping resistance in half of the total of circuits, eing this half
placed in the center block of the cascade. At last, we compare the results obtained with and
without the damping resistance in the central block.

maneuvering equipment in electricity distribution networks considering alternative sources of
supply such as distributed generation (DG). The model implemented aims to optimize different
reliability indicators, as well as the costs associated with protection equipment and energy not
supplied. As an optimization tool, an algorithm called Micro Multiobjective Particle Swarm
Optimization (Micro-MOPSO) is used in conjunction with a specialized algorithm that allows to
evaluate the reliability of the system with DG sources, also considering permanent and temporary
failures. He algorithm was tested in a network of 52 nodes in medium voltage. Finally, the results

One way to model the transmission lines is applying π circuit cascades. In practice, it is
impossible to carry out tests in actual lines that transmit large blocks of electrical power. Thus, a
simple physical model can be important for undergraduate students to familiarize themselves
with concepts of electromagnetic waves, electrical length, reflection and refraction of waves. This
model may consist of resistors, inductors and capacitors. In the first part of the research work, the
longitudinal part of a π circuit, composed of five locks of resistors and inductors in parallel, was
assembled and studied, and the voltages, currents, lags between the two waves and the FFT
signal varying from 10 Hz to 1 MHz were analyzed. Su sequently, the cross section of the π
circuit, composed of commercial resistors and capacitors, was added, and its transfer function and
delay angles were analyzed at the same frequency range. The inductance and capacitance values
were adequately adapted to maintain the propagation velocity similar to general transmission
lines. According to the data obtained, it was possible to construct graphs of the resistance,
inductance, transfer function and delay angles of the complete π circuit y the frequency to e
compared with the results that should e o tained theoretically. After the analysis of one π
circuit, one more unit will be added in cascade so that its behavior is analyzed. The main idea is
to o tain a cascade with several units of π circuits for a simple model of transmission lines. The
physical model can be used by undergraduate students to assimilate various concepts related to
power transmission and signals. The numerical model can be improved based on results obtained
from the physical model.

Introduction of Damping Resistances in Simulations of Electromagnetic
Transients Using Alternate Structures

São Paulo State University (UNESP), São João da Boa Vista, SP, Brazil
For modeling the transmission lines, it is necessary to use a large amount of π circuits in
cascade. In case, there are three different types of π circuits: the initial unit, the intermediate and
the last one. The numerical model is ased on these three types of π circuits. Using this model,
numerical simulations include errors that cause numerical oscillations. Thus, a damping resistor
is inserted to dampen oscillations and reduce errors. Currently, tests are performed with different
π circuit structures. In this work, it is presented and discussed alternate structures where one
type contains the damping resistance and the other does not contain the mentioned resistance.
The both structures are applied alternately in the cascade that represents the analyzed
transmission line. For the simulations with alternate structures, an odd number of circuits has
been used to ensure that the model has the initial and the last units with the damping resistance.
The application of alternate structures for the electromagnetic transient simulation was
implemented in order to reduce the computational simulation time maintaining the accuracy
obtained previously with the application of the damping resistance for whole π circuits of the
model.

Physical Model of Transmission Lines With Additional Branches to
Introduce the Influence of the Frequency

São Paulo State University (UNESP), São João da Boa Vista, SP, Brazil
This project presents the construction and analysis of a physical model of transmission
lines. These lines can e represented y a cascade of π circuits. Each π circuit consists of
commercial availa le electrical components (resistors, capacitors and inductors). The classical π
circuit structure does not consider the influence of frequency on the line parameters. In the
classical circuit structure π, parallel RL locks were inserted to simulate the influence of the
frequency on the transmission line parameters. The physical model was based on a mathematical
model solved by state variables applying the trapezoidal integration. The impedance and
inductance values of one π circuit were o tained for a wide frequency range, as well as, the
resistance and inductance values of the longitudinal branch as a function of frequency. The
transfer function, considering input and output voltages, was obtained as a function of the
frequency. The physical model will be adapted to represent PLC (Power Line Communication)
systems, a technology in which the transmission of signals and electrical power is done using the
same conductor of electrical energy. Using different frequencies, the both signals can be
transmitted through the same physical conductor.

Krawczyk Method

Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR), Curitiba, PR, Brasil
This paper proposes the application of interval mathematics to a non-linear OPF, in order
to consider load uncertainties. The idea is to apply in the first order optimality conditions of the
OPF, the Krawczyk operator, which makes it possible to obtain intervals of solutions, considering
the load as a starting interval parameter from the convergent deterministic value of OPF. It is
possible to obtain the optimal intervals of active and reactive power generation and voltage
magnitude through upper and lower ranges through this post-optimization process. The
simulations and analysis will be presented using systems of 3, 30 and 70 buses.

This paper analyzes the performance of the Bat Algorithm in the coordinated tuning of
the parameters of supplementary damping controllers (Power System Stabilizers and Generalized
Unified Power Flow Controller with Power Oscillation Damping) in a multi-machine power
system. The goal is to introduce minimal damping rates to low frequency electromechanical
oscillation modes as specified by the design. The current sensitivity model is used to represent a
medium-sized power system known in the literature as New England. This system, which
features local and inter-area electromechanical oscillation modes, consists of 10 generators, 39
buses and 46 transmission lines divided into two areas. The performance of the Bat Algorithm in
the coordinated tuning of controllers was compared with another two algorithms: Particle Swarm
Optimization, and Simulated Annealing. The results showed the Bat Algorithm as a promising
tool for the analysis of small-signal stability, especially compared to the other tested algorithms.

E. Vinson, A. Jurado y J. Sotelo
Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA), Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, Argentina
In many applications, like connecting rod crank such as displacements pumps, heavy
rolling mill, wind generation connected directly on grid, the asynchronous machines (AM) are
exposed to torques with periodic variations, which produces cyclical variations of speed and
absorbed current, with consequent risk of inadmissible voltage oscillations, consider flicker limits.
Generally, it dynamic phenomenon is evaluated using the machine stationary external
characteristics, even applying a torque-speed characteristic linearization at the working point.
However, as the torque variation is more severe, higher his frequency variation, or lower the
system inertia, the speed and current transient variations affect the torque-speed characteristic,
losing validity the approach to quasi-stationary behaviour, resulting necessary to study dynamic
and electromagnetic phenomenon jointly. This paper presents an analysis of this problem based
on a quasi-stationary model, and on the AM circuit (or unified) theory. Then, for a real case, is
developed an simulation using ATP, studying the AM behaviour with sudden or oscillating
torque. Finally is presented an AM experimental behaviour evaluation to oscillating and sudden
torques generated by Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine, fed by an electronic converter
with programmable torque control, corroborating with the predicted by the model and
simulations, establishing the applicability of different studied models.

This article presents a Mixed Integer Linear Programming model for optimal allocation of
Capacitors Banks (CBs) and Voltage Regulators (VRs) applied to a distribution network in
normal operating conditions. This model was developed in a project within a R&D Brazilian
program, in partnership with the brazilian utility Energisa. The objective is to minimize technical
losses, investment in equipment and O&M costs considering many engineering constraints from
Energisa like the (equivalent monophasic) power flow for different load levels, the minimum and
maximum voltage limits, and the minimal distance between two CBs. The CBs that will be
allocated can be fixed or switched and may have different capacities (in kVAr), while the VRs
have fixed regulator factor and number of taps. This article presents the numerical results of
tests based on theoretical networks with 70, 202 and 400 nodes and three load levels solved using
the free MILP solver CBC. For each test it is considered different linearizations of the product of
the squared tension at nodes and the squared current in branches. The results will be analyzed

Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR), Curitiba, PR, Brasil
This paper aims to propose a non-iterative numerical tool that allows the determination of
the nodal voltage magnitudes of distribution networks, focusing on planning grid environments.
The proposal is grounded in the utilization of the complex per unit normalization (cpu) technique
and results in a simple and efficient tool to support planning studies in the same direction as
provided by the DC Power Flow Method for transmission systems. The proposed methodology
allows assessing networks with any size and topology, from traditional radial arrangements as
well as closed-looped operation and fully meshed topologies. Simulation results considering
distribution networks of different dimensions and operational conditions, including the
participation of distributed generation units are presented in order to show the effectiveness of
the proposal.

The synchronous generator is a machine with constant frequency, which supplies power to
a given load. A generator operating under partial excitation loss conditions is subject to a number
of problems, such as overheating, loss of synchronism, and loss of system stability. Therefore, it is
necessary to develop synchronous generator protection methodologies that eliminate undesired
situations such as those caused by partial and total machine excitation losses. In this context, the
present work presents the problems caused by partial and total loss of excitation in synchronous
generators, through simulations of situations where excitation losses occur. Furthermore, a
methodology for the detection of partial and total excitation losses, capable of differentiating
these phenomena from a stable power swing, is presented. This technique is based on the
extraction of the current and voltage signal envelopes at the generator terminals, which have
specific characteristics in both excitation loss and power swing events. Thus, the proposed
technique showed to be fast and with good performance in the detection and classification of
stable power swings and excitation losses, when compared to the traditional methodologies
applied for this task.

The R&D of the National Electric Energy Agency of Brazil currently undergo an
evaluation only after its conclusion. Thus, poorly evaluated projects can have the financial
charges relating to their debts disallowed, which represent financial losses to companies in the
electricity sector. More than 14% of the R&Ds suffer total disallowance because they are
evaluated as inadequate. The proposed system, called the R&D Evaluation and Management
(RDEM or AGPeD in Portuguese), has the main objective of reducing disapproval through
automated evaluations. These evaluations can be carried out in the initial proposal of the R&D
project, that is, before the beginning, during the development and at the end of R&D, and can
generate a final report in a coherent and standardized way. Moreover, with the proposed system,
the evaluation process can be faster, once the originality search becomes automated. This search
can occur in several different sources, having the flexibility to include new sources, and reduce
the time spent by the evaluator when compared to a manual search. Once the search is carried
out in several different sources it is possible to also increase the possibility to evaluate more
precisely. The RDEM system, in addition to automating the search for originality and report
generation, still provides questionnaires that can indicate the aspects of costs, reasonableness,
applicability and relevance of the evaluated research. Both electric sector companies can use the
system in relation to project proposals, as well as auditors and consultants in relation to the final
evaluation of various R&Ds. In the latter case, the system still has the advantage of using the
same criteria for several works, reducing a possible error of human interpretation. This system is
still being developed and new functionalities are being included, but with the part already
developed it is possible to realize that the evaluation process can be improved with the use of this
tool. Using prior evaluations of consultants and comparing with the previous results generated by
the system, it was possible to determine a standard that the system should operate and this is
already partially implemented.

In the Electric Power System the protection is made by relays, the operation of the relays
takes place from the voltage and current signals. These signals are transmitted to the relays
through Potential Transformers (PTs) and Current Transformers (CTs). The CTs are subject to
the saturation of their core, a phenomenon in which the current waveform is distorted at the
secondary terminals, damaging the performance of the protection relays, which are based on root
mean square values of the quantity in question to determine its performance or not in the
protection scheme. The present work demonstrates the performance of differential relays under
the effect of saturation of current transformers, in order to identify possible undue performances
for defects outside the protected zone. Cases were analyzed for different fault types and according
to the results obtained through the simulations, it can be concluded that the current signal
distortions in the secondary of the saturated CT directly influence the operation of the differential
protection relays. Also, it was possible to verify that such distortions become more severe
according to the magnitude of the short-circuit current.

This paper presents a methodology for automatic allocation of reactors on medium voltage
distribution systems in order to mitigate energy loss. In Brazil, some feeders are distinguished by
their long lengths (over 100 km) and very light load, which results in a high influence of the
capacitance of the line on the circuit’s performance, requiring compensation through the
installation of reactors. The automatic allocation is accomplished using and optimization heuristic
called Global Neighborhood Algorithm. Given a set of reactor models, it outputs an optimal
solution for a certain feeder in terms of reduction of energy loss. The algorithm is also able to
verify if the voltage limits determined by the user are not being violated besides checking for
energy quality. The methodology was implemented in a software tool and can show the allocation
graphically. It was tested for four real feeders and the results obtained were able to diminish the
losses significantly, from 50.56%, in the worst case, to 93.10%, in the best case.

besides checking for energy quality through resonance analysis. The last condition is the main
subject of this paper. The resonance frequency is obtained by the calculation of the impedance
seen from the bar in which the reactor will be installed and comparing it to the reactor’s
inductance. If the resonance frequency is near to any harmonic of the main frequency of the
system, the solution that suggested this allocation must be dismissed. Some simulations are

A Firefly Algorithm Applied to Coordinated Tuning of Power Systems
Controllers
A. L. M. Takahashi and P. B. Araujo
São Paulo State University (UNESP), Ilha Solteira, SP, Brazil
Firefly Algorithm (FA) is a swarm intelligence algorithm inspired by the flashing behavior
of fireflies, which uses their flashing lights as a warning for potential prey and for reproduction
attractiveness. In this paper, FA is applied to find the optimal parameters for both Power System
Stabilizer and Power Oscillation Damping controller. Several parameters are evaluated. The
o jective is to analyze how they impact over algorithms’ performance on the enhancement of
damping power systems electromechanical oscillations. To achieve the paper’s o jective, a series
of numerical simulations of the Symmetrical Two-Area Power System are carried out.
Simulations data show that for lower loading conditions, FA convergence is increased. For small
populations searching capacity is reduced, while large populations result in lower processing
speed due to the increase in the computational effort. The step factor controls the neighborhood
search; big values enlarges the search area but impair the intensification process of the FA. The
attractiveness coefficient controls the diversity of the solutions by adjusting how the fireflies
update their position towards the brightest firefly. Results allows to conclude that FA can be
applied to coordinate PSS and POD controllers and hence increase the damping of power systems
oscillations.

The maximum amount of energy that a hydroelec- tric power plant can commercialize in a
year is named as Assured Energy. Some conditions are unknown at the moment this energy is
contracted, such as its power plant generation, which is dis- patched by the Brazilian
Independent System Operator (ONS) in a centralized way, the energy demand of the system and
the price of the energy on the market. Therefore, the strategy employed to seasonalize this
assured energy, or physical guarantee, has fun- damental importance to the power generation
agent, once a cor- rect strategy implies to maximize the average of its revenues or minimize its
risks. This work aims to apply the Flower Pollination Algorithm metaheuristic (FPA) in order to
obtain an optimal strategy of assured energy's seasonalization. Ultimately, a com- parison
between two different methods is proposed, FPA and Adaptive Coordinate Descent search
heuristic (ACiD). Both methodologies are compared and a series of analyzes were per- formed
based on the processing time, optimality of the solutions and best revenues obtained. In order to
deal with the uncertain- ties of the problem at the moment of contract, synthetic scenarios are
generated by the Hydrothermal Dispatch Model (MDDH), which contemplates the uncertainties
on generation, energy de- mand and price of the energy.

PWM Inverter Fed Induction Motors Bearing Failures Identification

Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP), Bauru, SP, Brasil
Bearing are an important part in three-phase induction motors (MITs) and are made from
rollers or spheres, internal and external rings and cage. Defects can happen in any part of a
bearing, and those defects will generate vibrations in different frequencies. Early failure
identification is very important for MITs’ maintenance. Thus, the utilization of accelerometers
(sensors) is an traditional alternative to non- invasive MIT monitoring. Another important aspect
is the efficiency. In MITs, bearing failures power and supply harmonics are factors that
contributes to efficiency reduction. The use of frequency converters is also an important
characteristic in those disturbances, with the presence of various harmonic distortions. PWM
inverters promotes additional vibration in MITs and difficult the data acquisition by introducing
noise in signals acquisition and processed signals. Then, some careful is needed used to study how
those factors influence a MIT’s overall performance. This work aims to esta lish differences and
similarities between main vibration frequencies components in operations with defective bearings
and powered by frequency converters. With the observations of those frequency components, it
would be possible to do predictive maintenance in MITs and, consequently, increase their
lifespan. The results show some specific frequencies components that indicates bearing failures in
MITs powered y PWM inverters. Also, when it’s an external ring earing failure fifth harmonic
component is highlighted. Laboratory results obtained from industrial motor tests are discussed
and future workings should address different switching frequencies and other types of failures.

Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP), Bauru, SP, Brasil
The electric motor is a type of electric machine that converts electrical energy into
mechanical energy and its development had started some centuries ago arising from the study
about electromagnetic phenomena. Nowadays, the electric motors, mainly the three phase
induction motor, are fundamentals in industrial activity, allowing faster and versatile production.
Nowadays, the goal is to avoid emergency and unscheduled maintenance. It is in such context
that the monitoring motors working under an unbalanced voltage condition is studied. To acquire
the vibration signals emitted by the motor, it was used a low cost easy installation and handling
transducer piezoelectric sensor, which can measure the acoustic emission, quantity related to the

Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP), Bauru, SP, Brasil
Due to the larger number of induction motors in the industrial plants, studies about early
fault detection are an important issue. During the life cycle of the motors, they are subjected to
several conditions that can generate electrical or mechanic failure and the most responsible for
these failures are the bearings with about up to 40%. The bearings are fundamental mechanical
elements to the motor operation composed by internal and external ring, besides that, they are
developed according to the application requirement. The most frequency cause of these failures
are excessive or inadequate lubrication, excess load, contamination, misalignment, machine
component defects, improper application, among others. Regardless of their origin, failures
produce abnormal vibrations which can be small at first and intensify over time. Currently, the
observation of vibration in induction motors is an important technic to identify faults prevent
them from taking on large proportions. In addition, it is a non-invasive method by using a low
cost sensor and easy installation coupled to the motor. This work aims to analyze vibrations of
electric induction motors with healthy bearings and bearings with deliberately inserted defects.
The vibration signals were analyzed with the aid of the LabVIEW software through specific signal
processing techniques such as FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) and Hilbert Transform. A 2-hp
induction motor with triaxial vibration sensor and CompactRio data acquisition system was used.
The vibration bearings were acquired with healthy bearings and later with bearings with
artificially inserted defects. After the mathematical treatment using the Hilbert transform the
results were compared and discussed.

The monitoring of partial discharges in high voltage devices, such as in power
transformers, have an importance for prevent functional problems associated of insulation
material deterioration. In transformers, the insulation materials could be early degraded if the
device is stressed by some critical factors like as: excessive overloads, heat, atmospheric
discharges, nonlinear charges, maneuvers that causes a transient response in electric system,
water inlet in oil insulation, etc. These factors could change the physical and chemical properties
in insulation materials and generated partial discharges (PD) at the transformers. The acoustic
emission method is based on mechanic waves detection of ultrasound emitted from partial
discharges by acoustic emission (AE) sensors installed on the transformer wall. The objective for
this paper is evaluating the potential of low cost and flexi le “Macro Fi er Composite Acoustic

Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP), Bauru, SP, Brasil
In recent years, the advancement of power electronics made possible efficient distributed
power generation using multiple renewable sources, such as solar and wind. Typically, those
systems sold commercially have one individual inverter for each power source, which is
responsible for a major part of the whole system budget. One integrated inverter for both power
sources has the advantage of a simpler circuit structure and lower system cost. The objective of
this paper is to study the response and each module of a DC coupled solar/wind hybrid power
system: the PV panels; permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) wind turbine with full
wave diode rectifier; DC-DC Boost converters; full-bridge DC-AC grid tied inverter; line filter. The
whole system is simulated using Matlab/Simulink Powersys library. The response was analyzed
under different power input scenarios, based on the amount and quality of active power delivered
to the grid.

A Cooperative Games Approach for Demand Side Management in Smart
Grids
L. S. M. Arnoux and W. Uturbey
Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), Belo Horizonte, MG, Brazil
Demand-Side Management (DSM) programs con- sider the energy consumers as
intelligent agents and as key players for system management, gaining importance on the Smart
Grid era. In this context, we propose a cooperative approach for the decision-making process of an
aggregator that represents a group of residential consumers in a DSM program. The aggregator
participates in a day-ahead market and has to decide the best load curves for their consumers in
terms of energy costs. Our framework is divided in 3 steps: data submission, scheduling model
and cost sharing. In the first one, consumers send to the aggregator their consumption
preferences. With that information, the aggregator schedules consumers’ appliances, respecting
their preferences and minimizing the total DSM cost, using a mixed- integer scheduling model. In
the last step, the aggregator attempts to allocate total program cost to the participants in a fair
manner, using the Shapley Value. We test our framework in two random instances, with different
appliances, preferences and number of consumers and verify that more flexible participants
contribute more to the coalition value, and so forth pay less. Moreover, the peak pricing and
inclining block rates models have the capacity to reduce peak-to-average ratio of the system.

This paper proposes a Demand Side Management strategy applied to a thermal system
connected to the grid. A multiobjective approach is applied using Genetic Algorithm, in order to
minimize the load demand and minimize the energy costs. A variable energy tariff is adopted, and
the management system defines the best time to turn on the refrigeration system and the cold
water warehouse (CWW), and the best time to turn off the refrigeration system and connect it to
the cold water warehouse, improving the use of the energy consumed and reducing peak demand.
The proposed methodology was applied in a real distribution system based on a University
campus in the city of Belem, Brazil. The optimization method and the modeling of the electrical
distribution system, the cooling and cold water warehouse implemented in MATLAB. The results
show that with the CWW system in operation, the consumption of the distribution network and
the expenditures with the energy account of the institution are reduced considerably, bringing

Microgrids with Renewable Generation
C. A. Alvez, J. E. Sarmiento, A.C. Zambroni de Souza and R. C. Leme
Nowadays, the expansion of electric systems in traditional way faces difficult barriers to
meet the growing demand, driven mainly by environmental concerns and fossil fuel depletion. In
this context, the microgrids present a safe and reliable option to integrate Distributed Energy
Resources (DERs) in distribution networks. In order to obtain the maximum benefit of DERs it is
necessary the use of optimization tools that allow to supply demand efficiently. Thus, this paper
presents a cost optimization model for DERs investment and operation, including CHP and
renewable generation. The uncertainty of renewable sources is represented by a scenario tree.
Potential benefits and drawbacks of DERs installation were explored through simulations for
several case studies. The results show that the developed tool can provide support in the decision-
making process. As a feature to highlight, the model allows to perform analyzes respect to the
impact of DERs integration in a medium- term uncertain horizon.

Behavior Analysis of Exact and Approximate Techniques on
Distribution Systems Reconfiguration
C. Gerez and E. A. Belati
Universidade Federal do ABC (UFABC), Santo André, SP, Brasil
For increasing distribution systems reliability and optimize its operation, a diverse
amount of studies and researches are developed with the goal to find solutions for its problems.
One of the greatest challenges faced, specifically on distribution systems, is to find ways to
minimize its active losses values and improve its voltage levels. To achieve this objective, there
are some techniques that can be used to solve this problem, being these systems reconfiguration,
one of the most viable option from both economic and technical point of view. In face of the nature
proposed by the reconfiguration solution, where opening and closing of disconnect switches is
needed to determine new topologies that present better results, computational techniques are
usually the best option to find these new configurations, since the search space is of a 2n order,
where n is the number of maneuverable switches. These techniques can be basically divided in
exact and approximate, the last being normally based on evolutionary algorithms and artificial
intelligence. This paper presents a comparative study that initially considers the application of an
exact technique, based on Branch and Bound (B&B) algorithm to solve the problem for the
studied systems, and after that, applies a bioinspired metaheuristic, the firefly algorithm, based
on these insect behaviors and its social and environmental interaction, for the same systems.
Being this an optimization problem searching the minimum value, it is subject to the following
constraints: 1) radiality; 2) load islanding; 3) admissible bus voltage levels; 4) bus power balance.
The methods were initially applied to a 5 buses and 7 branches system and after on a 16 buses
and 21 branches and 33 buses and 37 branches systems. Through the obtained results, it is
possible to analyze the distribution network performance improvement after its reconfiguration
and compare each methodology behavior, pointing out the pros and cons of each one of them.

FACTS Allocation via CROW Search Algorithm
S. C. Reis, O. L. Tortelli and L. S. Coelho
Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR), Curitiba, PR, Brasil
This article proposes an allocation methodology of the so-called second generation of
Flexible Alternate Current Transmission System (FACTS) Controllers, more specifically, the
STATCOM (Static Synchronous Compensator), SSSC (Static Synchronous Series Compensator),
and UPFC (Unified Power Flow Controller). The proposed allocation strategy associates the
steady-state analysis of the electrical network, with the location and adjustment of controllers
parameters determined by a novel and very promising optimization technique called CROW
Search Algorithm (CSA). CSA is a rather simple population-based metaheuristic method with
only two adjustable parameters, which makes it very attractive for applications in large scale
problems as device allocation. The parameters settings of each controller are properly linked with
the different operational condition of the system. The effectiveness of the proposed allocation
methodology is verified through the analysis of simulations involving the three indicated FACTS
devices, considering different network topologies. The results indicate the adequacy and
computational efficiency of the CSA technique to deal with allocation problems. Also, the

Multinodal Load Forecasting Based on Fuzzy- ARTMAP Neural Network
A. J. Amorim, T. Abreu and C. R. Minussi
Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP), Ilha Solteira, SP, Brasil
This work proposes to develop a predictor system (multinodal forecasting) considering
several points of the electrical network, such as: substations, transformers, feeders, etc. based on
an ART (Adaptive Resonance Theory) neural network family. It is a problem similar to the global
forecasting. The difference corresponds to use a strategy to construct the input and output of the
data with several parallel neural modules to the global prediction system. Considering that the
multinodal prediction is more complex, if compared to the global prediction, the multinodal
prediction will use the Fuzzy-ARTMAP Neural Network and the Global Load Participation
Factor, which are two important resources. The advantages of this approach are: (1) processing
time is equivalent to the processing of the global forecasting, i.e., the additional time processing is
quite low; and (2) Fuzzy-ARTMAP Neural Network converges faster (hundreds times) than
backpropagation neural network (benchmark in precision). The preference for neural networks of
the ART family is due to the fact that such architectures have the characteristic of stability and
plasticity that provide the results in a fast and precise way. In order to test proposed forecast
system, results are presented for three substations from a database of New Zealand Electrical
Company.

This paper presents a strategy for solving the allocation problem of sectionalizing
switches in a Brazilian electrical distribution system. The method used considers the fault history
of the system during one year and the optimization of two contrasting objective functions: the
reliability index Equivalent Duration of Interruption per Consumer Unit (DEC) and the total cost
related to the sectionalizing equipments, such as: manual and automatic switches and automatic
reclosers. The problem's optimal solutions acquisition is accomplished through the application of
a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm, the NSGA-II (Elitist Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic
Algorithm II), which works very well with the optimization of two objectives. The efficiency of the

The PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization) is an optimization technique that stands out
from the others for its simplicity of programming and processing speed, due to its short algorithm
and parameterization, this article aims to use a modification of the PSO (MPSO) algorithm so
that this technique can be used for dynamic control of a DC Motor. It was parameterized and
conditioned so that it can operate a plant with second order system characteristics to be verified
the behavior of this algorithm on the response characteristics. The PSO is used as a proportional
controller in which the particles represent the gain of that controller and the program acts in
order to modify that gain so that it maintains the motor speed constant in relation to
modifications in its feeding and external disturbances. It is observed in simulations performed in
the MATLAB software, using a parameterization that allows its use for the dynamic control, so it
converge to the ideal response in a steady state and several transient properties are obtained
through parametrization, thus, introducing the PSO as a possible technique to be used for
dynamic process control.

Smart-grid is in expansion in transmission and distribution systems due to many
advantages compared to the traditional systems. Moreover, this model facilitates the renewable
sources insertion, such as wind energy, in the consumer units. However, one of the barriers to a
greater participation of the wind power source in the electric matrix is related to the uncertainty
of the power generation due to wind speed variations. This paper evaluated the artificial neural
network performance for wind speed prediction in a city located in Bahia state, Brazil, using
historic data with steps ahead from thirty minutes to six hours. The delays quantity was
determined by autocorrelation function (ACF) and the number of neurons in the hidden layer was
chosen by tests for different predictions. The results comparison allowed to conclude that the
artificial neural network presented better predictions for steps ahead until two hours with MAPE
error lower than 20%. Consequently, the proposed system permits a prior knowledge of the wind

This paper presents a methodology for the allocation of capacitor banks in radial
distribution systems with binary differential evolution algorithm. The allocation of capacitor bank
aims to reduce the electric losses from reactive power present in the network, aiming at the
optimization of system operation and cost reduction. In this paper eight types of capacitor banks
were used, among them four fixed types and four automatic types, where the algorithm is able to
select possible combinations of capacitor bank installation, in order to minimize electrical losses,
and consequently improve voltage and power factor in the bus feeder, without transgressing the
standards imposed by regulatory agencies, and minimize the cost of installing capacitor banks.
The methodology is tested in a real system of a Brazilian electricity distribution utility,
considering two levels of demand. The results obtained demonstrate that the proposed algorithm
was able to minimize conflicting objectives such as reduction of losses and cost, respecting the
operational restrictions as well as, guaranteeing solutions that do not cause harmonic resonance,
pointing to the applicability of the proposal of this work.

Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring (NILM) aims to determine the individual consumption of
each load inside a building from the detailed analysis of voltage and/or current measurements
made at central location in the electrical system. Thus, the individual consumption of each
appliance is disaggregated from the overall measurement, without entry into the installation and
consequently, without physical access to the appliances. A disaggregation of loads can be
summarized in three steps: event detection, recognition and consumption estimation. Event
detection consists of determining when a load changes its state, that is, detecting an event is
determining when a load is turn on/off or made a transition to another operating stage. An
adequate performance of detection methods is fundamental to the good performance of the other
steps, recognition and estimation of consumption. Tuning the detection methods parameters is
very important, however, some methods of event detection have a complex interdependence
between the parameters. Therefore, the main contribution of this work is the use of genetic
algorithms to determine an optimal fit of parameters, since genetic algorithms are good solutions

Power Quality is the property of the electric power that the customer receives, in what
refers to the voltage waveform, amplitude and frequency. In Argentina, several regulations exist
regarding the Quality of the Electric Supply where the acceptable maximum values are specified
in the harmonic content of as well the voltage supplied by the utility as of the content of the
current that the customer absorbs from the grid. Today, it is frequent the detection of problems of
overloaded equipment and elements due to harmonic pollution as well of the utility distribution
system as of the customer installation, such as transformers, neutral conductors, capacitors,
motors, etc. Indeterminations and errors exist by the presence of harmonics in the measurement
of power and energy, due to the lack of a definition of universal acceptance of the reactive
magnitudes. The incorporation of customer equipment with new technologies should be carefully
studied by their possible increment of the harmonic contamination, It is concluded in the urgent
necessity to establish new limits of strict implementation in the levels of harmonic distortion of
the voltages and currents, before levels are reached that make unmanageable the distribution

A methodology for optimal allocation of passive filters in an electrical distribution system
is proposed in this study. Harmonic distortions are reduced using filters, however their location in
the system requires attention. Depending on the choice of the installation’s place(s) of filter(s)
there is the possibility of worsening the Power Quality by increasing harmonic distortion at other
points. Thus, this research aims to find the optimal installation place using a minimum number
of filters. Cases were simulated to observe the behavior of harmonic distortions according to the
filters allocation. Initially filters were designed for certain buses and allocated in the proposed
buses, so also at different points. It was observed that the best results to mitigate system average
harmonic distortion did not occur with the installation of the filter for which proposed buses but
in another which is more distant. The harmonic distortion mitigation was observed not only in
the nearby buses, but also in the distant ones, while the initially proposed allocation was only
good in mitigating harmonic distortion of nearby buses. This occurred as a consequence of the
change of the harmonic current flow, and this highlighted the need for attention in choosing the
buses for filters installation.

In our country and in many countries of the world, three-phase asynchronous motors
require the order of sixty percent or more of the annual electricity consumption in the industry.
Three-phase asynchronous motors play a significant role in industrial processes and energy
efficiency is closely associated with the costs of production processes. For these reasons, many
efforts are made, scientific and technical, to know in detail the efficiency of three-phase
asynchronous motors. The changes that introduce technological improvements in this electric
motors, from new designs and the use of new materials in their construction, are validated
commercially through the so-called "energy efficiency labeling" that the legislation of each
country considers mandatory. This process of labeling is ultimately a process of Product
Certification by one of the systems that characterize it (brand, type, etc.) and that always require
the carrying out of tests following standard procedures at national and international level. Given
the importance of having means for the testing of these motors, a test bench with the following
characteristics are performed: versatile, easy to operate and low power consumption during
testing (regenerative). The latter compensates for a possible higher initial cost of the bank and
over time is highly beneficial economically. The proposed bank uses a three-phase asynchronous
motors, twin to the motor to be evaluated, operating as a generator, the load of the engine to be
tested and completed with a primary electronic power supply, a back-to-back inverter or inverter
with regenerative brake and the necessary protection and control devices. The use of a motor,

the losses of the component elements of the test bank are consumed. A brief description of the
standard methods of testing asynchronous electric motors are carried out, the operation of the

source. This paper presents a harmonic attenuator set, which consists of phase-shifting
distribution transformers and a hybrid active filter, which together mitigate harmonics in the
auxiliary system of a thermoelectric plant. The transformer has the function to mitigate the
standard harmonics, it means, certain harmonic currents, and the hybrid active filter eliminates
non-conventional harmonic components. The proposed set has been developed for SUAPE
Thermoelectric Power Plant, in Brazil.

Brazil has in its energy matrix a large portion of hydroelectric generation, a portion that
has been suffering for some time from the impacts caused by the infestation of Limnoperna
fortunei, popularly known as golden mussel. This mollusk is an invasive species from South Asia,
detected in South America in 1991 in the Rio de La Plata and since then its remains are found
along all coast as well as ports and rivers throughout the Brazilian territory. This type of mussel,
in addition to affecting the local fauna and flora has been causing problems through its
incrustation in the pipes and conduits of all the hydroelectric network and also domestic. Its

fixation often causes the clogging of pipes with smaller diameters and in other cases the reduction
of the internal diameter of the pipes, which causes an increase of load loss. There are several
studies on how to control the infestation of the species, however, so far no reports have been made
of any process that has eradicated or contained such infestation. This work presents an
evaluation of the effect of scale in pipes of several diameters, being possible to determine the
evolution of the factor of loss of load as a function of the infestation, varying it according to the
number of layers of incrustation. The results show that the smaller the pipes, the greater the
impacts related to the losses and the efficiency, both, when compared to systems without any type
of incrustation. In many cases there may be a problem of occlusion of the pipes, causing system
clogging. For larger diameters, the impact is proportionately smaller. However, as the number of
scale layers increases there is an increase in the loss of charge in the system. It is important to
emphasize that the mollusc in study, presents high proportions of infestation and is able to
survive, develop and grow under different conditions, requiring new and constant observations
regarding its progress on the hydrographic basins in Brazil.

A importância e a utilização das fontes de energia renováveis, como a solar fotovoltaica,
têm ganhado um grande destaque na matriz energética mundial devido à crescente demanda de
eletricidade e aos problemas ambientais causados pelos combustíveis fósseis, levando os sistemas
tradicionais a considerarem operações de créditos e custo de energia, fluxo de potência,
estabilidade da rede de distribuição e qualidade da tensão e corrente utilizadas. Este trabalho
apresenta uma topologia de inversores fotovoltaicos para o controle da potência reativa no
sistema de distribuição para compensação ativa do fator de potência por meio da utilização do
sistema estacionário αβ0 e de controladores proporcionais-ressonantes. Utilizando-se o software
MATLAB/Simulink®, foi implementado um sistema fotovoltaico completo com algoritmo de MPPT
capaz de compensar os reativos de diferentes tipos de cargas em um ponto de acoplamento comum
(PAC) com a rede, composto de um conversor CC-CC e de um inversor trifásico de dois níveis com
filtro LC. Os resultados observados atenderam o objetivo proposto, uma vez que o inversor
conservou o fator de potência próximo da unidade em situações com variação acentuada da
irradiação solar, além de manter o equilíbrio do fluxo de potência no sistema para variações
bruscas na carga, além de conservar o perfil da tensão no PAC aproximadamente senoidal.

As energy is the basis of society's development and way of life, it is necessary to research
new sources of energy that are not based on fossil fuels, which are the main cause of emissions of
pollutants into the environment. Pyrolysis stands out for its flexibility in terms of product yield
and composition. The most common and usual ways of providing energy to the pyrolysis process
are fuel oil, natural gas or electricity, which can be replaced by a renewable source, in this work,
solar energy will be used as a thermal source. The objective of this work was designed an energy
use system for the pyrolysis process based on solar thermal energy and an auxiliary system. The
system has working flexibility, since pyrolysis depends on certain parameters, such as pyrolyzer
type, temperature, heating rate, residence time and type of sample. Thus, in order to achieve
different temperature ranges, a parameter that influences the yields of the products obtained
(gas, liquid and coal), the proposal aims at dimensioning the parabolic solar concentrator, this
system should reach a minimum temperature and should include an auxiliary system if the solar
radiation is not sufficient at certain times throughout the day.

This paper presents the principle of a Modular Multilevel Converter operating as Static
Synchronous Compensator. The Modular Multilevel Converter has been proposed as an
alternative topology to overcome limitations of conventional Voltage-Sourced Converters in high
voltage networks, since it is possible to increase the converter capacity by adding more
submodules per converter arm. Additionally, the modular structure permits the synthesis of
multilevel voltage waveforms which simplify the design of harmonic filters and magnetic
structures required to connect the converter to the mains. The submodules of each converter leg
should have its dc voltages regulated and equalized. Digital simulation results are used to
validate the control strategy of the Static Synchronous Compensator and to demonstrate the
performance of the balancing algorithms used to regulate the submodules dc capacitors voltages.
Finally, experimental results obtained with a small-scale prototype with three submodules per
arm are presented to validate the digital time simulation results.

The objective of this work is to obtain an evaluation of the harmonic generation at
different states of load of three-phase 250 kVA power transformers, with Amorphous and Fe-Si
cores by means of simulations. The nonlinear behavior is based on the magnetic saturation curves
obtained from the characteristics of the materials. This is a case of analysis that constitutes a
methodological example, since it is part of the calculation or design of the transformer and based
on it, the electrical parameters for the simulation were calculated. The harmonic components of
phase and line currents were obtained by using the Fast Fourier Transforman (FFT). The
simulations clearly show the influence of the magnetic circuit asymmetry, and the saturation of
the laminations, as well as the differences in their harmonic content for the different loading
conditions.

Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata (UNMdP), Mar del Plata, Argentina
The reactive energy must be compensated or neutralized, because it does not produce
useful work, and in its movement from the generation to the load generates technical losses that
not be eliminated but can diminished. There are also overloads in all elements of the system for
this effect. This paper study arbitrary number of capacitor banks, randomly installed in the
standardized 33-node distribution network for validate results, and seeks capacitive reactive
power configuration injected by each bank to counteract the undesired effects of the phenomenon,
minimizing losses and respecting imposed voltage limits. To do this, an algorithm used that
explores the possible solutions and is inspired by the behavior of the ant colony (ACS) when it
moves to find food. The simulations were done in object oriented C ++ programming language, of
great versatility and as result, reactive power configuration is obtained that minimizes losses and
improves the voltage profile. The execution time of the program is acceptable (close to minute
using standard computing resources) and provides reports of voltage profile and losses.

The purpose of this article is to introduce the challenges faced by a Brazilian electricity
company during the process of environmental regulation of a small hydropower plant from which
it holds the concession and whose operations start in 1962. Until 2011, given its historic value as
well as the still incipient application of a greater rigidity of environmental legislation, this small
hydropower plant whose installed capacity is 30 MW had the term of its environmental license
expired. The concessionaire of the hydroelectric exploitation in question, which has contractual
obligations established in the concession contract no 65/1999 with the National Electricity Agency
- ANEEL, with emphasis on compliance with the current environmental legislation, saw the
almost 50 years of operation with provisional environmental permits and based on the lack of
environmental legislation. The central challenge: the modernization and updating of production
methods that were still linked to the beginning of the operation of the small hydroelectric plant in
1962 so that the negative environmental impacts could be solved and consequently the
environmental regularization of said plant could be achieved according to the current
environmental legislation. The study aims to contribute to other entrepreneurs who find
themselves in similar situations.

Ecological continuity, in particular, a longitudinal connectivity of watercourses, which has
become the main restoration factor in watercourses regulated by dams, requiring the construction
of a Fish Transposition Mechanism (MTP). The success of any such project depends on both the
study of the national capacity of sites for the site and the analysis of the most appropriate
hydraulic and structural parameters. This work presents a comparison of results obtained
experimentally in prototype with those of computer numerical simulation of the study of the
hydraulic behavior of a Fish Transposition Mechanism (MTP) of the ladder type with vertical
groove, with the objective of analyzing the velocity fields, the levels of energy dissipation and
Reynolds shear stress. The mathematical simulation model was developed using the finite volume
elements method, with Flow3D software, being corrected for access to a coherent mathematical
model according to the physical experiments, so that it can be used in future projects in which
there are variations in the design of the fish ladder among other possibilities.

Slope Influence on Variation of Reynolds Stream Inside a Tank of
Fishway

Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG), Belo Horizonte, MG, Brasil
The growing demand for electric power promotes the increase of hydroelectric plant
construction in Brazil. However, the impacts of this type of system should be mitigated. Among
them there are systems to allow the free movement of fish. The success of a fishway design
depends both on the study of the swimming ability of fish as the analysis of the most appropriate
hydraulic and structural parameters of the mechanism for passing migrant fish during the
spawning season. The study of the fish increase efficiency by fishway depends on the monitoring
of speed, energy dissipation and Reynolds shear stress along the path. Turbulence can increase
the energy cost of locomotion of fish to extremely high levels, causing bodily harm or even the
death of these organisms. The Reynolds shear stress is related to the continuous transfer of
moments between masses of water with adjacent viscosities, these masses of water having
different speeds. This tension exerts a force parallel to the body of the fish, which can cause a
strong interference in its swimming performance and stability. The impact of shear stress
depends on its direction in relation to the body of the organism. reports that the longitudinal
component of the Reynolds shear stress (τxy) is the one that mainly affects the fish, where the x
direction corresponds to longitudinal, and y the transversal to the channel. The Reynolds shear
stress found in nature is low, more often less than 100 Pa. This stress value can be easily
supported by fish, but values greater than 500 Pa can cause damage. With respect to Reynolds
shear stress in all flow and slope conditions, the fish find possible areas of passage so that the
values do not reach the defined limit that was 500 N / m2. However, there is a need to verify the
influence of the exposure time on the different voltage magnitudes and, therefore, to verify a real
limitation of this system.

In Brazil most of the electricity generation is from hydroelectric plants. In 2014
hydroelectric generation contributed by 65.2% of the total generated in the country. In that same
year the installed capacity reached 133,914 MW (EPE, 2015). These plants have as characteristic
the installation of dam along the cascade of the rivers with the consequent interruption of the fish
passage and other organisms. One of the solutions that can be adopted to mitigate this
interruption is the restoration of the ecological continuity, promoting the longitudinal
connectivity of the rivers. This type of action is considered as the main factor in the restoration of
watercourses regulated by dams. For the restoration of the ecological continuity one can choose
the construction of Fish Passage that will allow the upward flow of migratory fish to the dam
area. The ability of the fish to pass through the Fish Passage depends on the velocity of the flow,
the energy dissipation inside the tanks, the Reynolds shear stress along the course and the
swimming capacity of the individuals. The evaluation of the velocity field of the flow in the tanks
is of fundamental importance to allow the passage of fish since they have limited capacity of
swimming. The time and speed with which fish undergo fatigue are used to calculate their

swimming speed. The value of the flow velocity in the structure should not exceed the limit
supported by the animal. The speed of swimming of the mandi (Pimelodus maculatus), a common
fish in Brazil, and which can be considered as representative for the southeast region, is adopted
in this work. The swim velocity for this species of fish is 1.3 m/s which is the mean critical velocity
at first spawning. This work presents a study of the hydraulic behavior of a vertically slit MTP
that can be considered as an appropriate structure for most Hydroelectric plant in the
Southeastern Region of Brazil. This Fish Passage has the following characteristics: a) discharge of
55 m³ / h (reduced model) or 2.35 m³ / s (prototype); B) slopes of 6; 8; 10 and 12%. The results
observed by the velocity field analysis show that the variation of the slope does not result in great
interference in the possible area for the passage of the fish. As the declivity increases there is an
increase in velocity in the main stream, but areas with velocities of less than 1.3 m / s that allow
passage of individuals of this species (Pimelodus maculatus) by fish passage remain.

The golden mussel (MD) is invasive in the American continent, observed for the first time
in 1991, Rio La Plata, Argentina, presenting high reproductivity, fast growth and ability to
adhere to solid substrates, forming agglomerates with up to 150,000 individuals / m2. Their
larvae are microscopic, free, living under water effects for their dispersal. Its incrustations have
caused damages in all places where contaminated water circulates. Studies are being developed
to know the invader and control its spread. Despite the latest scientific advances, there is still no
universal theory that models complex systems considering aspects such as constituents
heterogeneity and interactions with other systems. Physical models are considered appropriate
for some studies. For example, the influence of MD on hydraulic systems is worked with colonies
of dead and stabilized individuals, eliminating risks of contamination and mortality. However,
the carcasses are fragile to handle and suffer dimensional variations due to breakage and
compromise the results. This work presents procedures to generate colonies of similar appearance
to the real aggregates and resistant to water flow high velocities. The proposed technique was
used by researchers for UFMG Hydraulic and Water Resources Research Center presenting
satisfactory results with possibility of reuse of the colonies.

Since the 1940s, sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) has been widely used in the electrical sector,
mainly as an insulating medium and for the extinction of the electric arc in power circuit
breakers, and its emissions are practically all of anthropogenic origin. Its deliberate release to the
environment should be avoided as it is a greenhouse gas more potent than carbon dioxide at
20,000 times. In the electrical sector the release of SF6 into the environment is associated to the
manufacturing and operation phases of the equipment. In the operation of the circuit breaker
there is the leakage of larger proportions caused by a fault followed by pole explosion, in other
cases it is associated to the small leaks caused by wear of a seal due to the time. Considering that
the explosion of a circuit breaker are atypical cases, resulting from a manufacturing failure or
lack of preventive maintenance, the article will estimate the contribution of the small leaks to the
environment. Then, from the history of the occurrences registered for maintenance related to the
complementation of SF6 gas in the circuit breakers, it was possible to quantify the volume of gas
that was released in the period from 2009 to 2016.

Among the greatest challenges related to the implantation of hydroelectric plant is
important to consider environmental impacts. One of the biggest trouble is related to the
upstream path and downstream of fish. Those migrations are essential to the animals population,
justifying the existence of efficient system fish path which avoid the mortality of them own during
their way through the hydroelectric barrage. In many places all around the world, electric
barriers are used to drive off and/or contain fishes into a limited area. To electric barrier building
it is necessary to have knowledge about shock absorption limits by part of the fishes involved,
your answer levels to tension levels, amplitude, frequency, electric barrier geometry (distribution
way of electric camp in the water), water parameters like conductivity and temperature. After a
detail analysis of these parameters, a barrier could be determined inside the acceptable limits or
not. The acceptable limits are the fish expulsion from a determinate dangerous area without
putting your life in danger purposeful. Thus, this project aims to present the problems of the
current electric barriers and to present a new configuration for Brazilian species that suffer
directly from the problem of power plant dams.

This paper presents the study of the current harmonics content as a feature for load
disaggregation and classification. The setup developed for data acquisition was based on Arduino,
in order to be simple and inexpensive, that way it can be easily reproduced and improved. The
system consists of a current transformer (CT), a voltage transformer (VT), a signal conditioning
circuit, and the Arduino UNO R3 as the analog-to-digital converter and communication hub with
the computer. Data were obtained from a set of three different pairs of lamps: incandescent,
compact fluorescent and LEDs. A script created in Matlab was in charge of storing the data
obtained and input it in a fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm in order to extract the
harmonics content. It was observed that the first five odd harmonics (1a, 3a, 5a, 7a e 9a) were
quite distinct among the loads. From this data set, the use of harmonics as a way for load
classification was investigated by employing the Neural Network Pattern Recognition tool on
Matlab, a classification neural network. The results obtained were excellent, with a precision
around 90%, showing that indeed the current harmonics are a source of reliable data that can be
used to identify different types of loads.

Universidade Estadual de São Paulo (UNESP), Sorocaba, SP, Brasil
Although various definitions of power quality can be stated, it can be generically
understood as voltage, current or frequency deviations that result in an equipment malfunction.
The power quality concepts can be of complicated understanding because they involve
nonsinusoidal currents and voltages, diverging from the traditional power theory, allowing
diverse interpretations and confusing many professionals of the area. In this work, a virtual
instrument (VI) for the study of the power factor with nonsinusoidal current in an interactive and
real time platform was developed using LabVIEW software from National Instruments. For the
simulation, a phase-controlled single-phase AC voltage controller was chosen, resulting in widely
nonsinusoidal load current with non-zero shooting angle. The VI front panel presents the option
of controlling the load current peak amplitude, as well as the shooting angle. There is also the
option of selecting the compensation of the reactive power or current harmonic components. In
addition to the nonsinusoidal powers – apparent, active, reactive and distortion – and the power
factor and current harmonic distortion, according to IEEE Std 1459 (2010), the VI shows the
voltage and current waveforms in the circuit, as well as their root mean square values and
harmonic components.

An unregulated voltage from photovoltaic panel (PV) feeds the DC-DC converter and its
output suffers variations due external factors. These output variations can be converted to an
adjustable voltage value with maximum of stability, efficiency and can extract maximum power
PV panels can generate using MPPT to control the static converter. In this paper, a didactic kit,
focused on DC-DC converters for PV generators is developed. First, a general overview about
some existing static converters is done and the more suitable topologies for the PV applications
according to literature are detailed. The selected DC-DC converters presented in literature are
modeled in PSCAD and simulated with PV panels. Then, prototypes of the DC-DC converters are
assembled and field tests are developed with them. So, it is proposed a learning methodology
based on comparisons with the simulated results and test fields, as much as the behavior between
the different types of converters. Results show a kit with DC-DC converters available for
computational simulations and to be applied in field tests, with practical experiments where it is
possible to observe the differences between the converters, in terms of modeling and operation,
reinforcing the learning related to this type of converter and its application.

In order to obtain fair tariffs, energy came to be traded through systematic auctions
composed by two or more stages and with different market clearing price methodologies. Since
then, teaching how electricity is traded has become a big challenge for professors due to the
complexity involved in the auctions’ design. This paper presents a teaching approach that
combines a mixture of traditional and active learning experiment done through a simulator that
reproduces the auction of electricity from existing capacity in Brazil’s market. During the
simulation, undergraduate students at Fluminense Federal University were separate into groups
to play the role of generation companies. Afterwards, they had to take economic decisions and to
compete among themselves for selling energy in the regulated wholesale market or signing
bilateral contracts in a deregulated environment. At the end of the experiment, an evaluation of
the learning activity was done by the students through a research survey.

This paper demonstrates the development of a computational algorithm for calculating
short-circuit current levels using the Symmetrical Components Method (SCM), which takes into
consideration the three-phase representation of the electrical network and safeguards the
information a out the system’s un alance in the mathematical model. The algorithm is
implemented using Matlab, given its easy of use. The user can provide the input parameters
using a text file. From the input data, the software assembles the nodal admittance and nodal
impedance matrices, both used to perform the calculations. The selection of short-circuit type and
occurrence location can e directly informed in Matla ’s command window. After the calculations
are performed, the results containing magnitude and phase for the fault currents, voltages and
the report containing the current contributions to the fault, for all the system’s phases, are
exported in a text file. For performance evaluation, the IEEE 13 Node Test Feeder were used,
comparing the results obtained by [7]. By looking at the results, one could verify the algorithm
provides good precision results, confirming its suitability for analysing short-circuits in generic
unbalanced systems.
Index Terms: Computational algorithm, Matlab, phase components, short-circuit, unbalanced

Results from laboratory surveys with different sources for lighting are presented and
considered. Electrical characteristics as luminous flux, chromaticity coordinates, correlated color
temperatures, color reproduction index among other parameters considered relevant, were
obtained using routine procedures of photometry and radiometry. The luminous flux was
determined from the Ulbricht sphere (integrator) and also with computer aided goniometer. The
results allowed access to important references in the context of interlaboratory comparison and
proficiency testing for incandescent light sources, HPS and SSL (LED). Among the deviations
from parameters and estimated quantities, we highlight that the luminous flux variability found
was very low. Data accumulated during an extensive period of time was considered, in addition to
interactions with important local institutions the work considers interfaces with institutions from
Argentina and Colombia. In the case of HPS lamp type, the determination performed by the IEE /
USP revealed result, in absolute value, higher than the value assigned by the laboratory that
coordinated the national effort. Sampling and tabulations performed during national
interlaboratorial activity with public lighting luminaires were started, and the larger dispersion
of relative values observed (13%) occurred for correlated color temperature parameter.
