Energy Losses Minimization in Smart Microgrid Minimización de Pérdidas de Energía en Microrredes Inteligentes

In this paper, energy losses minimization in smart microgrids using capacitors banks and energy storage systems. An optimization methodology based on heuristic search is presented. The proposed methodology approach was developed as a management system based on losses control. This management system works centrally in order to improve the voltage profile and to reduce energy losses to its minimum values. The 33-bus test system (modified) was used to evaluate the performance of the proposed method.
