چکیده
In normal operation, the reconfiguration of distribution network can reduce losses, balance loads and improve quality indicators. The increasing use of remote controlled equipment in power systems leads the development of more efficient techniques for automatic reconfiguration of network, being particularly important in Smart Grid applications. This paper presents a methodology and system for automatic reconfiguration of distribution network in real-time. The optimization of the network performance is based on a heuristic method and multicriterial analysis. The developed algorithms are integrated into a supervisory system, which allows real-time measurements and commands to the equipment. The proposed methodology is tested in a real network of a power utility and results are presented and discussed.
