    Neste artigo propomos um algoritmo branch and cut com novas inequaçÔes especĂ­ficas ao problema de planejamento da expansĂŁo de redes de transmissĂŁo de energia elĂ©trica. Todas as inequaçÔes propostas neste trabalho sĂŁo vĂĄlidas tanto para os modelos lineares como para os modelos nĂŁo lineares do problema. Os testes computacionais tĂȘm mostrado a eficiĂȘncia do mĂ©todo proposto neste trabalho quando aplicado a subsistemas reais brasileiros e ao sistema colombiano

    Orientador: Alcir Jose MonticelliDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Faculdade de Engenharia Eletrica e de ComputaçãoResumo: Este trabalho apresenta estudos do uso de chaveamento de linhas de transmissĂŁo e de modificação da topologia de subestaçÔes como forma de controle de fluxo de potĂȘncia ativa em situaçÔes de sobrecarga de linhas de transmissĂŁo ou transformadores. Objetiva-se, atravĂ©s do uso de mĂ©todos de resolução de sistemas esparsos, a busca de topologias que em situaçÔes de emergĂȘncia possam ser implementadas em tempo real. O estudo proposto apresenta um modelo mais completo para resolução do fluxo de potĂȘncia, onde chaves e disjuntores sĂŁo representados explicitamente. Os elementos de chaveamento sĂŁo introduzidos aos principais mĂ©todos de compensação para resolução repetida de sistemas lineares algĂ©bricos. SĂŁo apresentadas tambĂ©m as suas principais formas de aplicação alĂ©m do controle de sobrecargas. VĂĄrios testes sĂŁo conduzidos e discutidos para sistemas do IEEE e partes do sistema elĂ©trico brasileiroAbstract: Studies about the use of switching procedures for active power flow control of transmission lines and transformers in overload situation are presented in this work. The main objective is the application of changes in system topology in real-time mode using sparse fast linear system solvers to determine the topology configuration that eliminates overload. The proposed study presents an accurate model for solving the power flow problem, which switches and circuit breakers are explicitly modeled. The switching devices are introduced to the model of compensation method for repeated solving of algebraic linear systems. Other applications for topology modification are also presented. Test cases based on IEEE systems and part of Brazilian system are presented and discussed.MestradoEnergia EletricaMestre em Engenharia ElĂ©tric

    Search for intermediate-mass black hole binaries in the third observing run of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo

    International audienceIntermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) span the approximate mass range 100−105 M⊙, between black holes (BHs) that formed by stellar collapse and the supermassive BHs at the centers of galaxies. Mergers of IMBH binaries are the most energetic gravitational-wave sources accessible by the terrestrial detector network. Searches of the first two observing runs of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo did not yield any significant IMBH binary signals. In the third observing run (O3), the increased network sensitivity enabled the detection of GW190521, a signal consistent with a binary merger of mass ∌150 M⊙ providing direct evidence of IMBH formation. Here, we report on a dedicated search of O3 data for further IMBH binary mergers, combining both modeled (matched filter) and model-independent search methods. We find some marginal candidates, but none are sufficiently significant to indicate detection of further IMBH mergers. We quantify the sensitivity of the individual search methods and of the combined search using a suite of IMBH binary signals obtained via numerical relativity, including the effects of spins misaligned with the binary orbital axis, and present the resulting upper limits on astrophysical merger rates. Our most stringent limit is for equal mass and aligned spin BH binary of total mass 200 M⊙ and effective aligned spin 0.8 at 0.056 Gpc−3 yr−1 (90% confidence), a factor of 3.5 more constraining than previous LIGO-Virgo limits. We also update the estimated rate of mergers similar to GW190521 to 0.08 Gpc−3 yr−1.Key words: gravitational waves / stars: black holes / black hole physicsCorresponding author: W.
