ANALYSIS AND CONTROL OF INTERRUPTIONS IN ELECTRICITY DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS

Abstract

Understanding the characteristics and operational procedures of power distribution systems is essential for effective planning. In the context of interruptions, it is crucial to analyze the connected loads and their impact on the network, as well as to conduct periodic measurements to assess operating conditions, detect disturbances, and verify power quality. Power quality is measured through regulated indicators, which directly influences the reputation of utilities among regulatory agencies and consumers. This study investigates the analysis and control of interruptions in power distribution systems, highlighting their influence on continuity indicators. Based on these indicators, strategies can be formulated to enhance the reliability and quality of power supply, minimizing regulatory penalties. The primary objective of utilities is to establish efficient methodologies for restoring power safely and in the shortest possible time, ensuring service continuity and customer satisfaction.
