A Microgrid is implemented with PSCAD/EMTDC software and three study cases, or operational modes of the Microgrid, are simulated. Initially a characterization of the power flows through the Microgrid is done, using the P-Q Theory, which facilitates the recognition of the main power issues that have to be compensated in the Microgrid. Then an SVC is implemented, using a control strategy based on fuzzy logic and genetic algorithms, in order to mitigate those power issues identified in the power flow characterization. It is important to take into account that all the simulations (the characterization and the compensation) are made for the three study cases running PSCAD and Matlab simultaneously.","PeriodicalId":330140,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Symposium on Alternative Energies and Energy Quality (SIFAE)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117053401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To implement the proposed methodology the data of two power transformers, located in different places and with different operational conditions, were considered. Real data from a data base was provided by utility Interconexión Eléctrica S.A. (ISA). To forecast the load curves a neural network was trained using MATLAB, being able to fit a load curve with daily and weekly prediction times. The proposed method allows the estimation of load curve values in power transformers with an average percentage of relative error around 10%. The method described in this paper can be applied to other equipment with similar operating characteristics.","PeriodicalId":330140,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Symposium on Alternative Energies and Energy Quality (SIFAE)","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122620575","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
