Solar radiation is one of the most important parameters for applications, development and research related to renewable energy. However, solar radiation measurements are not a simple task for several reasons. In the cases where data are not available, it is very common the use of computational models to estimate the missing data, which are based ma...
Article
In this work we present a Distributed Demand-Side Management system based on the Artificial Immune Network algorithm. It implements an intelligent, distributed and autonomous control of the customer’s Air Conditioning devices in order to meet the desired demand. The system is particularly adapted to tackle the Peak Load problem that appears in Trop...
Article
One of the most common problems in the electricity sector is the lack of accurate information about the structure of the low-voltage distribution network, particularly the association between the customers and the substation’s phases. Identifying to which substation’s phase each customer is connected reduces the response time to contingencies, impr...
Article
Knowledge about the customers' phase connections is strategic and critical for utility companies. It allows them to optimize maintenance and repair operations, implement load balancing, and detect losses, among other benefits. However, this information may be incomplete or outdated due to the undocumented changes in the Low Voltage network. Several...
Article
Load balancing is one of the most widely used techniques to reduce losses and improve service quality in low-voltage networks. Many methods have been proposed, including the customer phase reassignment, which has multiple advantages. However, its application represents a real challenge if the data availability is limited (only a few variables from...
Conference Paper
La distribución de energía eléctrica enfrenta desafíos globales, como la creciente demanda, la integración de generación distribuida, las pérdidas elevadas y la necesidad de mejorar la calidad del servicio. En particular, el desbalance de cargas, donde las cargas no están distribuidas uniformemente entre las fases de los circuitos, puede reducir la...

Even in recent neural network architectures such as Transformers and Extended LSTM (xLSTM), and traditional ones like Convolutional Neural Networks, Activation Functions are an integral part of nearly all neural networks. They enable more effective training and capture nonlinear data patterns. More than 400 functions have been proposed over the las...
Conference Paper
La topología de la red eléctrica de baja tensión, aguas abajo de las Sub-Estaciones Transformadoras MT/BT (SET), es un problema para las distribuidoras eléctricas alrededor del mundo con pocas soluciones eficientes. Determinar precisamente la vinculación cliente-SET y la fase a la que están conectados los clientes suele hacerse con hardware especia...
Experiment Findings
Seven field tests were conducted using data provided and validated by two electricity distribution companies: Discar SA. (Córdoba, Argentina), and EDET S.A. (Tucumán).

Customer rephasing is one of the most efficient techniques for balancing loads, reducing losses, and improving electricity quality. Traditionally, phase changes were performed by an operator, interrupting the supply during the process. Instead, a more recent approach proposes using phase switching devices that dynamically and imperceptibly transfer...

The Smart Grids paradigm emerged as a response to the need to modernize the electric grid and address problems related to the demand for better quality energy. However, there are no fully developed and implemented smart grids, but only some minor scale tests to prove the concepts. Centralized systems are still common, with a low granularity of cont...

The pandemic has brought a lot of unexpected challenges and situations that very few organizations were prepared to handle. In particular, reconversion of Intermediate Care Units and other spaces into Intensive Care Units. Even stadiums and hotels were reconverted to Intensive Care Units worldwide, during the peaks of the pandemic. Among other chan...

Monophasic customer phase connection determination in 3-phasic distribution transformer substation, is an international problem. Except for some Power Line Communications Technology, most but not all Smart Meters Technology can establish a customer to transformer relation. But identifying which phase a monophasic customer is connected to, or even i...

Climate change is currently affecting weather patterns, producing more severe storms, harsher weather, and heat waves in places never seen before. In particular, it brings the so called Air Conditioning Trap Problem: Greenhouse gases produce more heat in the atmosphere and heat waves (warmer weather in places never seen before), that gets people ar...

Variable selection problems generally present more than a single solution and, sometimes, it is worth to find as many solutions as possible. The use of Evolutionary Algorithms applied to this kind of problem proves to be one of the best methods to find optimal solutions. Moreover, there are variants designed to find all or almost all local optima,...

Currently, the electrical system in Argentina is working at its maximum capacity, decreasing the margin between the installed power and demanded consumption, and drastically reducing the service life of transformer substations due to overload (since the margin for summer peaks is small). The advent of the Smart Grids allows electricity distribution...
