Analisis Pengaruh Interkoneksi PLTM Thong Langkat terhadap Performansi Jaringan Distribusi ULP Kuala Menggunakan ETAP 19.0.1

Abstract

Distributed Generation (DG) is a power generation system that can be directly connected to the distribution network or can also be connected to the load. The interconnection of distributed generation in the network system can provide a very good change towards improving the network voltage profile improvement and can also provide an additional source of electric voltage in the electric power distribution network. The interconnection that is the focus of this research is the interconnection of the Thong Langkat PLTM to the voltage stability in the ULP Kuala distribution network. The purpose of this research is to find out how the voltage profile is due to the interconnection of the PLTM with the distribution network of PT. PLN ULP Kuala and to determine the value of energy losses (losses) before and after the interconnection of the PLTM with the distribution network of PT. PLN ULP Kuala. Data processing carried out in this research is by using ETAP 19.0.1 software. The research began by modeling the distribution system of PT PLN ULP Kuala and PLTM into the ETAP software. After the model is complete, a power flow simulation is carried out. The loss value in scenario 1 under normal conditions before being connected is 2211.8 kW. In scenario 2, after being connected to MG03, the loss value is 903.4 kW. In scenario 3, after being connected to MG04, the loss value is 1750.6 kW. For scenario 4, after being connected to MG03 and MG04, the loss value is 592.8 kW.
