Some energy projects became in causes of possible social conflicts during its implantation; in this way and in order to prevent social conflicts, it should conduct a social impact assessment (SIA) before developing an energy project. In this work, we conducted a social impact assessment on a renewable energy project in Lima, Peru, by applying of the grey systems theory. In the case study, four stakeholder groups and five evaluation criteria, for SIA, were identified. Consequently, the results showed that the energy project would have a positive social impact from the point of the view affected population. In addition, the criterion more valuated by population under analysis, was the impact on the research. Moreover, the method applied in this study showed interesting results that could help to authorities from university under study and local authorities to make the best decision about the energy project. In addition, the method could be used to assess social impact from other type of energy projects.

A novel application of the meta-heuristic “Particle Swarm Optimization” is implemented in this work to solve the problem of reconfiguration of power distribution systems in the presence of non-linear loads with the objective of minimizing the total harmonic distortion. The proposed methodology is based on the behavior of a flock of birds when flying in search of food. In order to guarantee the convergence when the distribution power network is radial and large, a heuristic rule is deployed to improve the methodology efficiency. The developed algorithm was applied to the IEEE 33-bus radial system. The results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method to find the optimal topology of the distribution system to reduce harmonic distortion.

In Peru, users of the electric service bear the burden of free declaration of natural gas price in thermoelectric generation. We will see the impact that real costs will have, making the free electric market unreal with distorted competitiveness. Situation that influences electricity rates and the incentive to promote competitiveness in the electricity sector. We will analyze the cases of the Panamericana and Rubí Photovoltaic Solar Power Plants, installed in Peru, in the Moqbegua region. We can see the impact on the Premium granted to these renewable energy plants that allowed their investment through the RER Subsidy (PRIMA). Data are adopted for the 2015–2016 tariff year in their respective bus bars.

Rising temperatures as a result of climate change are likely to increase the adoption of air conditioners (AC), which in turn leads to higher power demands and electric energy consumption. This paper presents a methodology to evaluate the corresponding effects of climate change in distribution networks (DNs). To assess these effects, two climate change scenarios produced by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, models for residential AC availability, and residential AC demand profiles are used. For the study, a Costa Rican network fully modeled using OpenDSS and load profiles obtained from a power utility are used. Simulation results suggest that even low penetration levels of residential AC units represent a significant part of the DN‘s energy consumption, and that increases the DN demand in hours of high temperatures. This, in turn, highlights that mitigation measures such as demand response programs are necessary to supply the rises in demand.

This paper presents the application of Self Healing feature in automatic reconfiguration process of a power system inserted in a real industrial plant. Supporting the automation process, a new optimization algorithm, Power Summation Reconfiguration Algorithm (PSRA), is proposed whose objective function is minimizing the amount of switching during automatic reconfiguration process. Results obtained by using optimization algorithm developed in this paper were compared to ones from Chu-Beasley Modified Genetic Algorithm (CBMGA). The comparison was made between PSRA and CBMGA using Scilab simulation environment. The algorithm developed in this paper, PSRA, requires a simpler heuristic for implementation compared to CBMGA, besides presenting the same efficiency level. Then the electrical network was modeled in the Real Time Digital Simulator (RTDS) using the PSRA to implement the Self Healing technique. Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) were used to protect and control the system. Two different network communications were used between RTDS and IEDs, one with digital signal and another with GOOSE messages based on the IEC 61850 standard. The time data obtained by the two network communication are compared to show the effectiveness of the PSRA.

In this paper, an evaluation of Power transformer assessment is developed in order to determine when maintenance is feasible from the point of view of economics and aging of the asset. For this purpose, a model of health condition and failure rate is used and then fuzzy logic method is applied for some other considerations needed to stablish the action required in the transformer along the simulation. This is a new approach for estimating the need of maintenance in a power transformer.

This paper presents an automated irrigation system for strawberry crops, which the main goal is to keep soil moisture in a suitable range by making efficient use of energy and water resources. A Constrained Matricial Predictive Controller- CMPC was used because it allows projecting the behavior of moisture through a prediction horizon, estimating the perturbations and responding appropriately to them. To feed the model, evapotranspiration data from the climatological station of RAMPA research group were systematized for three years. The solution was evaluated on four scenarios with different evapotranspiration curves. The key advantage of the proposed controller is the possibility to get the minimum amount of energy and water resources necessary to achieve the control objective using an optimization scheme. The results show that the proposed controller obtains a better performance with respect to reference PID controller, widely used in this kind of applications.

Many overhead lines in South America are in the limit of degradation of their expected design life. It is therefore of interest to estimate the conditions and remaining lives of conductors in order to facilitate maintenance and replacement planning. In the coast of Perú, the humidity, sea winds, weather conditions caused by Southern pacific anticyclone are factors for the fast degradation of the overhead lines conductors by corrosion effects, due to it, the replacement of many kilometers of electric conductors requires a deep analysis, it starts with the determining condition or health, because, it requires considerable investments. This research has obtained the main characteristics for determinate the electrical and special tests needed, for a diagnosis and remaining life of these kind of assets with Health index process. The effectiveness of the assessment is measured by comparing it to a condition evaluation that is based on detailed, quantitative laboratory testing. The use of life curves for different geographical regions facilitates the process of determining remaining life. Estimated lives based on the simple and more comprehensive assessments, as well as based on chronological age, they have been compared for different geographical regions and overhead lines conductors.

Due to its complexity and high dimensionality, power system analysis has always relied on numerical computation for real-time operation and planning. It is therefore of great importance that power systems engineering students have a robust understanding of computing and learn how to code. This paper discusses how Python can be an adequate programming language for education and research on power system analysis. This is accomplished by the analysis of a power transmission system from the perspectives of: (i) formation of bus admittance matrix, (ii) state estimation and (iii) fault studies. For each example, a simple vectorized Python 3 code, along with its basic concepts and functions highlighted, is presented. Additionally, the main results of interest are plotted to show the ability of Python in producing publication quality 2D and 3D plots.
