Analisis Perbaikan Profil Tegangan 20 kV pada Jaringan Distribusi Studi Kasus Perbaikan Profil Tegangan Ujung Penyulang BTL02 Gardu Induk Batulicin dengan Pembangunan Penyulang 20 kV Baru dan Pemasangan Kapasitor

Abstract

The voltage profile in the distribution network is very important so that the power system is reliable and delivered with good quality. If the voltage profile in the power system does not meet the applicable standards, this will cause poor quality and continuity of the distribution network. If not resolved quickly, this can result in system failure. One of the causes of a poor voltage profile in a system is too long distribution lines. Long distribution networks can also cause large capacitance in the lines with air as the medium. With the capacitance in the line, reactive current will flow along the line and cause a drop in voltage and power losses in the system. In this paper, we will discuss improving the voltage profile on distribution lines that have end voltages that do not comply with PLN standards by planning the construction of a new 20 kV distribution line from the substation and installing capacitors as reactive power compensators in the system. These repair options will be compared by considering the profile of the system, savings, and financial feasibility when the repair options are implemented.
