Optimization Location Scenarios of Generation Capacity with ETAP Application

Abstract

This study aims to determine the distribution of electrical power by considering the addition of generating capacity and the addition of networks using ETAP applications. The simulation results show that for the first scenario the addition of generating capacity is carried out at Barru Bus without the addition of transmission networks, the voltage on bus 36 (Barawaja) stabilizes from 0.92 pu to 1.02 pu, with losses of 17.218 MW and 30.171 MVAR. This shows that power losses have decreased from 18.853 MW and 41.291 MVAR or decreased by 1.635 MW from power losses before the addition of generation in Barru. and the second scenario is the addition of generation at Bontoala and the addition of an express network. the system voltage that previously dropped became stable at the existing tolerance limit. Besides that, there were power losses when adding a generator at the Barru Bus. Thus, the distribution of electricity will be better when there is an additional generation at Bontoala Bus and the addition of an express network in the Sulselbar system.
