SELF-HEALING CENTRALIZADO NAS REDES ELÉTRICAS DE DISTRIBUIÇÃO: UM ESTUDO DE CASO SOBRE SEUS IMPACTOS, VIABILIDADE E CONFIABILIDADE

Self-healing, as well as others resources that were born from the concept of smart grids, is a technology that emerged in response to the scenario of increasing demand for a reliable and robust electrical system. This work aims to investigate the impacts of implementing centralized self-healing in CEMIG S.A.’s distribution grids from the perspective of the electricity continuity indicators established by ANEEL, as well as to assess the reliability of the algorithm’s performance and the financial feasibility of its implementation. The results indicate significant reductions in average interruption times, ensuring greater energy continuity for consumers and a decrease in compensation payments. This savings proved sufficient to achieve the investment payback, pointing to the financial viability of the project.
