Expansion of the AC Power Flow Optimal Planning-Based Electric Transmission System

This project addresses the need to enhance the security, reliability, and automation of power electric systems within the context of modernization towards Smart Grids, driven by initiatives like the REDIE program in Ecuador. The challenge lies in the increasing complexity of these systems, exacerbated by the integration of communications and optimization algorithms, which generate large volumes of data, such as that obtained from high-frequency Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs). The main objective is to identify AC power flows through the optimization of electrical protections. The methodology combines historical, descriptive, inductive, and deductive research to consolidate information and establish conclusions. Applied research will be used to model optimal AC power flow and develop management proposals, complemented by experimental research to simulate system behavior under faults and disturbances, aiming to maximize the reliability of the Ecuadorian electrical system.<br/><br/><b>Goal</b>: <br/>To identify AC power flows based on the optimal operation of electrical protections within the power transmission system.<br/><br/><b>Research lines</b>: <br/>Transmission and distribution of electrical energy
