Implementation of the Static Var Compensator (SVC) in the sub system 150 KV transmission to improvement effort voltage quality in West Java Area

Abstract

This study aims to determine the voltage losses on the 150 KV transmission line in Cibatu and Mandirancan Sub-systems in the PLN APB West Java region. This study utilizes the effect of the installation of Static VAR Compensator on voltage losses on a 150 KV transmission line during peak load conditions. By knowing the characteristics of the system on a channel that utilizes sensitivity to the addition of loads, the installation of SVC will have an impact on the improvement of voltage losses on the transmission network. This study uses simulations using ETAP software version 12.6. From the calculation simulation results that use the actual data of APB West Java in the amount of voltage loss on the channel. While based on the ETAP simulation results, there were improvements in voltage losses at Dawuan substation by 13.56%. This proves that SVC installation on transmission lines can reduce voltage losses in the Cibatu and Mandirancan Sub Systems.
