The influence of Unified Power Flow Controller to increase the value of Available Transfer Capability on transmission system Java – Bali, Indonesia
Abstract Industrial growth and population in Indonesia led to an increase in demand for electricity. It needs a device that can perform a voltage correction profile online so that power will flow through transmission line. TJBTB (Transmisi Jawa Bagian Timur dan Bali) conditions before the installation of UPFC (Unified Power Flow Controller), the power supply received by the load is not 100% obtained from plants in the region, for example the Paiton power plant. In this research, the method used is with the help of MATLAB R2014a simulation by designing a 500 kV transmission system configuration and the placement of the UPFC found in regional IV namely East Java - Bali. From the simulation results, showing that there was a change in power flow when placing the UPFC. The right location is the West Surabaya - Gresik channel. On the Ngimbang bus there is a change in active power which before using UPFC by 1612 MW to 2208 MW after using UPFC, an increase in active power was 36.97%. The UPFC can fulfill all these functions and thereby meet multiple control objectives by adding the injected voltage with appropriate amplitude and phase angle, to the terminal voltage v.
