Abstract

In the operation of Power Java-Bali System , power system can be divided into three main parts ,
generation , transmission , and distribution system . Each of these components show the quality of
operation of power system as a whole . The problem of power system salways about the power
losses on the transmission line . Power losses in the transmission system due to the impedance at
the conductor where the delivered power is not in accordance with the received power . The loss
of power on the transmission line can be reduced by increasing the capacitor bank in Gardu Induk
that have lacked voltage or improve the factor power in Network . Therefore , in this paper
discusses the Analysis of effect from addition of Capacitors for Daily Losses at 500KV Java Bali
System. To know the comparison and the amount of losses in a Real Time day condition at before
and after the addition of the Bank Capacitor . The calculation of the Power Losses results on Grid
using DigSILENT Power Factory Application . After performing the simulation, it shows the
Significant reduction of power losses in a day after the addition of new Capacitors and increasing
the voltage quality in Java Bali System
