ABSTRACT

This research examines the current issues facing the national interconnected system (SIN) in Colombia, focusing on the implementation of smart connection alternatives to improve interconnectivity and service quality in unconnected areas (ZNI). An analysis based on the “Roadmap for the Implementation of Smart Grids in Colombia” is conducted, highlighting challenges in coverage, service quality, and tariffs in rural areas. This research proposes a detailed analysis of the latest techniques for detecting electrical failures using technologies such as sensors, advanced algorithms, and neural networks, evaluating their potential application in the Colombian context. The implementation of early failure detection systems could significantly improve the quality of electricity supply, reducing interruption times and increasing service reliability. Additionally, a reference framework is sought to enable professionals and engineering students to develop skills in areas such as artificial intelligence and programming.
