A study of Sabah Electricity Sdn.Bhd. (SESB) best route transmission line using AHP

Abstract

Sabah Electricity Sdn. Bhd (SESB) is an agency that provides generation, transmission and distribution services in state of Sabah and the Federal Territory Labuan. In a recent year, optimization is important in planning the best route for transmission line. Geographic Information System (GIS) offering many solutions on daily usage which included powering transmission line planning and design. In this research, the best route for SESB transmission line based on application of AHP was mapped. The objectives of this study are to map the best route of SESB transmission line, to analyze the criteria to be taken into consideration for existing process of the designing the SESB route of transmission line and finally, to establish the best route of transmission line. In order to determine the efficient criteria of the existing process of the designing the SESB transmission line, several studies and analysis were made. By using multi-criteria decision making analysis named Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), the best route of transmission line was established by determining the cost function between power towers of the transmission line.
