Abstract

Electric Energy is an essential supply for the population, due to this, there is a big demand on the society to maintain its full-time supply. In addition, it is interesting for electricity distribution concessionaires to avoid possible failures, while these interruptions cause penalties such as repair costs, customer dissatisfaction and unbilled energy. Therefore, this work presents strategies to dispatch emergency vehicles to the costumers with lack of electricity, establishing routes. The determined routes will consider priority levels and stochastic demands that may occur during service in the current shutdowns. The objective of this study is to improve energy efficiency in order to decrease the time in the electrical power failures, in a way to promote the rational use. For this, the work proposes a mathematical model, linked to the use of constructive heuristic algorithms and local search. The results obtained were promising in terms of processing time and quality.
