Resumo:
The distribution system has undergone changes over the years, mainly due to the
increased insertion of distributed generation. With regard to wind energy, improper
installation of wind turbines in a distribution system can result in increased losses and
even in violation of voltage limits. In this context, a method for optimal location and
dimensioning of wind turbines is presented here in order to reduce the losses of electricity
in radial distribution systems. Were used the Genetic Algorithm as an optimization
method and the Sum of Powers Method to perform the power flow calculations, not
exceeding the voltage limits imposed by ANEEL, nor exceeding 20 % of penetration of
wind generation regarding the annual energy demand. Six commercial models of wind
turbines with different characteristics were located and sized in four test systems (36,
69, 134 and 1080 bars) in order to study the performance of the method. The results
obtained demonstrated the effectiveness and viability of the method for use in small and
large radial systems.
