Aplicação do software OpenDSS na análise da qualidade do serviço em redes de distribuição de energia elétrica

Abstract

Reliability metrics are elements that focus on providing mechanisms for monitoring and controlling the performance of distribution systems, in addition to providing subsidies for the reform, improvement and expansion plans of the infrastructure of those systems, as well offerering consumers clauses to evaluate the service provided by the energy companies. The objective of this study is to investigate how OpenDSS software can implement electrical distribution networks in a computational scope to calculate SAIDI and SAIFI reliability metrics. Theoretical and computational calculations were carried out on two electrical circuits, with 520 and 18,200 consumer units. In order to measure the error between theoretical and computational calculations, results had the divergences below 0.22%. This study provides support for the use of OpenDSS software on a large scale for distribution and transmitters companies for SAIDI and SAIFI calculations.
