Optimal Segmentation of Electrical Distribution Networks

New ways of generating electricity make possible decentralization energy sources. This scenario distributed generation allows efficient management smaller networks, so called microgrids. Additional advantages include a large reliability and the capability to provide high quality service. A strategy design these microgrids consists on taking advantage existing distribution network by sectoring system into set with optimal autonomy. paper presents one-step methodology for based virtual segmentation system. The proposed method focuses allocation sizing together determination cut-set lines form an optimized was implemented IEEE 119-bus system, also applied Bella Italia real located in Santa Fe province, Argentina.
