Development of a platform for analysis and characterization of power quality disturbances

In this work are presented three algorithms that form part of a platform for analysis and characterization of power quality disturbances in electric distribution systems. In the initial part are presented the fundamentals in that are based some recent works oriented to the optimal location of meters and the relative sags source location in an electric distribution network. The document continues with the description of three algorithms for optimal location of meters, relative sag sources (cause by failures, large motors connections, energizing of transformers and large capacitor banks) location and causes thereof which are tested in a real distribution feeder (FUNDIKOM circuit). The final part discusses the results and determines the effectiveness of algorithms.
