For the elaboration of this map of references, the levels of the dam were established in order to adjust the operation of the system during the next two years upon the criteria of reliability, considering diverse profiles of generation of CVG EDELCA based on the application of generation schemes with hydraulic maximization or minimization of thermal generation. The base of the methodology is the simulation of the behavior of Guri dam, through a model that determines the level of the dam from a generation already defined by CVG EDELCA during a 24-month period.

Energy balances in transformation points allow us to focalize losses. However, we would have to make measurements in each transformer in order to compare the amount of energy that has been delivered with the energy that has been billed. The EDC system contains over 15,000 transformation points. Therefore, it would be extremely complicated, both from the technical and economic point of view, to make measurements in each of these devices. This paper describes a state estimation methodology in real time for each transformation point. This allows us to determine the areas with the greatest amount of nontechnical losses across the radial distribution system.

Also, the result may be not the best choice because this is a very large optimization problem and there are too many combinations. We present a general approach for the optimal solution of this problem considering all the parameters of the distribution system involved: capacitor cost, voltage, angle and load changes.
