Analysis of power – losses in 20 kvs distribution line

Abstract

This study aims to know the magnitude of losses in line at 20 KV distribution network. Power losses is measure of efficiency of an electric power system operation. This study receipts simulation methods to calculate the power flow using ETAP Power Station 4.0 software, and then determine losses in line at 20 kV distribution network of electrical systems Banda Aceh. The results showed that the energy loss (losses) in the conduits between the bus with the other one was still below 10%. The greatest Losses in line BA-15 (GI - Merduat)I is 0.48% (for active power losses) and 0.64% (for reactive power losses).
