RESUMO

The increase of the consumption of electric energy takes the distribution systems to operate next to its limits, which might cause situation of maximum active and reactive power flow in the branches, that is, problems of voltage stability. The change of the topology of the network allows to find a configuration where de voltage stability indexes are far from de maximum loading point, improve voltage profile, reduce power losses and load balancing. However, the number of possible switching grows with the dimension of network and searching for optimal solution requires high computational effort. Using Tabu Search heuristics allows guiding the search for new configuration of high quality, being storing its characteristics and forbidding the addition and/or removal of attributes for a period, avoiding that the search finishes in a local minimum (maximum) value. The results in different loading levels, that represent the operation of radial distribution system with normal, weighed and critical load, show that the Tabu Search algorithm maximizes the voltage stability margin, leading the original operation point to a new one that is far from the maximum loading point, in the normal region of operation. With this, it is prevented that the system operates next to the maximum loading point or, in the worse case, in the abnormal region of operation, where the actions of control have opposing effect to the waited one.
