PENYEIMBANGAN BEBAN PADA TRANSFORMATOR DISTRIBUSI UNTUK MENEKAN RUGI-RUGI DAYA PADA JARINGAN TEGANGAN RENDAH DI PT. PLN (PERSERO) RAYON SEDAYU
Abstract
The unbalanced load in electric power distribution system always
happens and it is a common condition. The unbalanced load happens in
intermediate voltage network, low voltage network, and transformer. The
occurrence of load imbalance in the distribution network is caused by one
phase load which is not equal to each other. This is what causes loss or
energy losses in low voltage networks as well as analyzing the effect of load
balancing on the transformer against decreased power loss, i.e. the value of
power loss before load balancing and after Load Balancing. This is
examined in this final task, which is a load imbalance that occurs in the low
voltage distribution network. The location selected in the research site of
this final task is PT. PLN (Persero) Rayon Sedayu Jl. Wates KM 11
Argorejo Sedayu Yogyakarta. With these load imbalances resulted in a
neutral current leak on the transformer. In principle, neutral currents are
zero in balanced state. But in reality, a distribution system of electrical
tension is always in an unbalanced load state. So in the 1 phase system as
applied in Central Java and D.I. Yogyakarta, neutral current is
approaching zero is considered to be good. The result of load balancing on
the 6th of transformer distributions obtained average suppression of the
power loss on neutral conductive is 242, 186 watts. Cost savings on
financial losses after load balancing of Rp 171.409,563/month. So the goal
is to do load balancing to reduce power losses, technical losses, and nontechnical
losses.
