Resumen
This paper reports solving an important scientific task of minimizing the economic losses caused by the established deviation and the asymmetry of voltage in the distributing electrical networks with a rated voltage of 10 kV.It has been found that the existing systems of automated control over the mode parameters of distributing electrical networks do not fully take into consideration the multifunctional influence of symmetry-compensating devices at the level of electricity quality indicators.It has been proposed to use, as the criteria functions for the task on automated control over the electric power quality indicators, the functional dependences that assess the level of losses caused by the established deviation and asymmetry of voltage in electrical networks. That has made it possible, in contrast to existing control systems, to better account for the negative impact of the established deviation and asymmetry of voltages on the modes of electric network operation.We have determined the functional dependences between the input and output parameters of the control object (a distributing electric network with a voltage of 10 kV with a symmetry-compensating device), which formed the basis of the criteria functions for a multi-criteria optimization problem. The ultimate solution to the problem on a multi-criteria optimization based on a method of approaching a utopian point in the criteria space was derived by minimizing the Chebyshev distance from the utopian point to a Pareto-optimal set of solutions. Based on the obtained solution to the problem on a multi-criteria optimization, we have built an algorithm for determining the vector of optimum control.Computer simulation of the optimal automated control system for the power quality indicators in distributing electrical networks has been performed.Analysis of the simulation results has revealed that the automated control system proposed in this work, when compared with the existing ones, makes it possible to reduce the negative effect exerted by the above-the-norm values of the established deviation and asymmetry of voltage on the operation of electrical networks
