Students and researchers from the Smart Electrical Networks Research Group (GIREI) and the Inclusive Education Research Group (GEI) in our branch campus in Quito presented five research projects for the 4th International Conference on Information Systems and Computer Science IEEE -  INCISCOS which took place in Quito. 

 

The aim of the projects presented by GIREI is to improve the electrical system in Ecuador and the project presented by GEI seeks to reduce the time people with visual impairment can learn English. 

 

- "Under Frecuency Load Disconection Scheme Based on Improvement to Semi-Adaptative Model", by Diego Carrión, Alex Ayo and Jorge González. The research focuses on minimizing the effects of contingencies in electrical power systems through the controlled disconnection of loads; preventing the systems from entering total collapse and therefore reducing the number of users that would be left without power.

 

- "Optimal Compensation of Reactive Power in Radial Distribution Networks considering design period", by Santiago Marcial Medina and Alexander Águila Téllez. This project develops a planning model for the compensation of reactive power in radial distribution systems, based on a heuristic method of optimization by intelligent search using the loss sensitivity factor.

 

- "Energy Management in Micro Grids based on the Optima Demand Response by Real Price of Energy" by Edwin García and Idi Isaac. A tool for micro-network management where users optimize consumption in their residence based on the cost of electricity.

 

- "Wireless Network Design for Intelligent Measurement Based on Real User Data". By Patricio Yela, Marcelo Montufar and Milton Ruiz. The data required to locate faults in electrical systems require the design of communication infrastructure that carries the information for analysis, allowing the detection and location of faults in the electrical system.

 

- "Visual Impairment a Challenge to Teach English using Emerging Technologies" by Jorge Cárdenas and Esteban Inga. The work presents a methodology to reduce English language learning time for students with visual disabilities through the use of emerging technologies and ubiquitous learning around the concept of 4.0 education
