dc.description.abstract Distribution systems often cover vast areas, which complicates their modeling in codebased software. For these reasons, they are simplified, but care is taken to ensure this does not compromise the behavior and results that could be obtained from the original system. The main objective of this work is to evaluate the hosting capacity of the Adjuntas distribution system and implement aVolt/Var control in the inverters of the photovoltaic systems distributed throughout the system. This approach aims to improve bus voltages by bringing them closer to their base voltage of 1 pu and to mitigate over voltages and line overloads.
dc.description.abstract Los sistemas de distribución suelen tener extensiones grandes, lo cual complica su modelamiento en softwares que son basados en codigo, por estas razones son reducidos pero se busca que esto no afecte el funcionamiento y los resultados que podrian ser obtenidos por el sistema original. El objetivo principal de este trabajo es evaluar la capacidad de acogida del sistema de distribución de Adjuntas e implementar un control Volt/Var en los inversores de los sistemas fotovoltaicos distribuidos por el sistema. Este enfoque pretende mejorar las tensiones de buses acercándolas a su voltaje base de 1 pu y mitigar posibles sobrevoltajes y sobrecargas en las lineas.
