One line diagram Siantar Substation

Dear MR. NIKHIL

As we know until now our Power Generator not maximum to export energy to PLN and in morning 10.00 17.00 only One unit operate, now I try to give analisis and information. We want to solve problem and give me some solution or suggestion.

1. Siantar Substation have 2 Transformer that supply electricity in siantar and Our unit connect to Trafo number 2 60 MVA. Trafo number 2 have 6 feeder and supply load in several location in siantar, PLTM KARAI 13 conect to Feeder number 3 2. Please look at Trafo Substation Number 2, All Voltage in Feder Number 1 to 6 same and if we want voltage decrease in Feeder Num.3 , voltage in another feeder will decrease. Decreasing of Voltage only do from 150 KV Grid(From UPB Medan) 3. Our Generator Conect to Distribution Grid from Siantar Substation (above drawing) so round of that grid until to Power Hose PLTM karai 13 there is Loaded in Grid until Power Hose PLTM karai 13 4. Condition I : in morning 10.00 Before Our System Generate/ operate, Voltage at the end PLTM Karai 13 its 19.6 KV and From Siantar Substation its 20 KV. 5. Voltage drop until 19,6 KV (Turbin & Generator Before Syncron) caused

Loses in Grid Loaded in grid

6. When Power Generated in this condition, we cannot run 2 unit because Voltage will be raise until 21 KV, and if we force voltage will rise again and its danger to Grid System and Our Unit. So I make conclusion No Load in Grid 7. We ever mesure Voltage drop in PLTM Karai 13 and Silau II Voltage drop in several location different, example when in karai 13 V= 19,6 KV in Silau II V= 18.5 KV, in another place will be critical below 18 KV. So PLN cant decrease voltage again. When 20.8 KV in Outgoing, and Voltage in Substation still on 20 KV Our Operator request to PLN to decrease voltage from Substation. And PLN can decrease until 19.5 KV from Substation. Why canot do below of 19.5 KV ? because it will make another feeder in Substation will be Trip

8. Condition II : in afternoon 17.00 20.00, its Peak Load consumen use electricity, we can see from Voltage in Power House PLTM karai 13 it will be 18.7 KV(Unit No Operate) and we can operate 2 Unit and Power We Generate 6.2 MW (Daly Avarage From Log Sheet) and when Power = 6.2, Line Voltage = 20,8 KV, Voltage Generator = 6,89 KV. 9. Usually interconnection in Indonesia connect to Transmision Line - 150 KV, its to be easy to control voltage and Power Flow in substation

10. If we force to Production Electricity with decrease Voltage from our plant, Cos Pi will be minus, that means we absorb MVAR from Grid( Generator as Motor) and as we know its not permit We need your suggestion how to increase Power Production in PLTM Karai 13, if any question please send me Back thanks.
