Spatial-Temporal Analysis of the Impact on the Distribution System due to New Types of Load with High Energy Consumption: Case Study in CENTROSUR with the Induction Stove

Abstract

Due to the incursion of new appliances with highenergy consumption, the demand of the residential sector of an Electricity Distribution Utility can be increased suddenly, affecting the operation of the electrical network and, consequently, changing the investment requirements for the expansion of the electrical network.

In this work was used a methodology composed of a spatial-temporal model and a method of impact analysis in the low voltage circuits of the electrical network. The model characterizes the intention of the inhabitants of the city to buy this kind of appliances. On the other hand, the method determines the new values of operating, voltages and the overload that can cause the supply of the demand for these appliances.

The results obtained provide valuable information on the current state of electrical installations of the Electric Utility and the tendency of the impact that can cause the supply of the demand of this type of loads in the secondary circuits of the electrical network.
