ABSTRACT
Guluk-Guluk is supplied by a 20 kV system from the Pamekasan GI and Sumenep GI, resulting in a voltage drop of 5 kV. The fall
in the voltage on the load side cannot be overcome through the regulation of transformer tapping or the use of bank capacitors, so
the possible way is to build a new GI. The construction of GI Guluk-Guluk requires a new transmission line. A good electric
power transmission has a low voltage drop, high efficiency and high surge impedance loading (SIL) values. Efforts to improve the
voltage by changing the tapping in the power transformer located at the nearest substation only produce a voltage of 166.07 kV.
The provision of bank capacitors in Guluk-Guluk produces a voltage of 17,542 kV. The construction of GI Guluk-Guluk requires
a new transmission line that connects Pamekasan to Guluk-Guluk, Sampang to Guluk-Guluk and Guluk-Guluk to Sumenep. The
construction of a 150 kV network line requires calculations to determine network configurations, conductors, isolators, tower
types, and electrical equipment supporting 150 kV transmission systems such as current transformers, voltage transformers, power
breakers, and arresters. In this final project, simulation is done with the help of ETAP 12.6 software. The results of calculations
and simulations of the transmission line toward Guluk-Guluk give a voltage drop of 4.89 kV, with an efficiency level of 96.74%
and a SIL value of 41.225 MW. so these results are sufficient to be used as a reference for GI development in Guluk-Guluk.
Key Words: Transmission lines, Substation, High voltage equipment, High Voltage Electrical power system, ETAP 12.6.

1. INTRODUCTION
Transmission and distribution in Madura, especially the Guluk-Guluk area of Sumenep Regency, experienced problems due to the
use of a 20 kV system for transmitting electrical energy to the area, resulting in a fairly high voltage drop in the area [1].
In overcoming the stress drop in the Guluk-Guluk area, PT. PLN has made several maneuvers, namely by adjusting the
transformer tapping and providing 3 capacitor banks each 1 x 25 MVAR and 1 x 25 MVAR installed on the Pamekasan bus, as
well as 1 x 50 MVAR installed on the Sumenep bus [2]. However, the efforts to maneuver PT. PLN is not sufficient to overcome
the voltage drop that occurred in the Guluk-Guluk area. So a possible solution is the development of an electric power system, one
of which is the construction of substations [3]. The substation development is expected to be able to overcome the stress drop in
Guluk-Guluk as well as the demand for additional energy needs.
Substation requires several electrical equipment in order to carry out the process of distributing electric power and become a
connection for electricity from the transmission network to the distribution network [4]. Some of these electrical equipment are:
conductors, arresters, isolators, circuit breakers (CB), current transformers (CT), and capacitor voltage transormators (CVT) [5].
So it is necessary to evaluate the transmission line planning and electrical equipment for the 150 kV Guluk Guluk substation.

2. METHODOLOGY
In this research, the discussion carried out is the calculation of transmission lines and electrical equipment for the 150 kV Guluk
Guluk substation as a solution to the problem of high voltage drop in the Guluk - Guluk area. Some of the evaluations carried out
include line configuration, tower configuration, conductors, current transformers (CT), potential transformers (PT), circuit breaker
(CB), the insulator and its arrester placement. The values obtained will then be evaluated whether they are in accordance with
PLN standards, can be applied reliably, and have good economic value.
Figure 1: Flowchart
In this power flow analysis using 4 configurations, these four configurations are designed based on a new 150 kV network
configuration which allows for the addition of a new substation, namely the 150 kV Guluk Guluk substation, because the Guluk
Guluk area is located between Pamekasan and the Sumenep area is located in the tip of the island of Madura. So that the four
configurations are the most likely configurations for transmission network construction.

Selection of the type of transmission tower is based on the location of the tower construction, according to its construction there
are 2 types of towers, namely: lattice tower and pole tower [3]. The choice of tower type also considers the number of circuits to
be energized, using equation [7]:
(1)
√
where:
S = apparent power (MVA)
I = nominal current (A)
VLL = line-line voltage (kV)
For tower configuration based on phase location and number of circuits in Indonesia, it is divided into 2 [1], namely delta
construction using 1 circuit with a horizontal phase location and pyramid construction using 2 circuits with the phases installed in
a vertical parallel arrangement.
(3)
where:
R = resistance (ohm)
ρ = conductor resistance (ohm.m)
l = conductor length (m)
A = area of conductor (m2)
Meanwhile, to find the value of reactance (X) can use equation [9]:
XL (ohm/km) (4)
(H/m) (5)
where:
XL = inductive reactance (ohms/km)
F = system frequency (Hz)
L = inductance (H/m)
GMD = geometric mean distance
GMR = geometric mean radius
For GMR and GMD values on a double circuit with 3 phases, it can be found by equation [9]:

where:
Dxy = the distance from conductor x to conductor y
2.4 Line Effectiveness
To determine the level of efficiency of the tower, it is necessary to calculate the voltage drop, surge impedance loading (SIL) and
line efficiency using equation [1]:
Drop Voltage
√ 𝜃 (8)
where:
∆V = drop voltage (kV)
I = current (A)
R = resistance (ohm)
X = reactance (ohm)
cos θ = power factor
As for calculating the impedance value using the following equation [10]:

where:
Zak = tower arm impedance/surge tower
h = height
rA = distance between tower arms (m)

Generally protection is considered good when FP> 20% of the TID equipment is protected.
Meanwhile, to determine the withstand capacity, it is seen based on the working time of the relay and the working time of the CB.
The determination of breaking capacity and withstand capacity is carried out by testing the results using star-protection device
coordination available in the ETAP 12.6 software as shown in Figure 3.20 and using the thermal capability equation [1]:
W = I2Rt (24)
where:
W = energy (watt)
R = resistance (ohm)
I = current (A)
t = time (s)
If the CB thermal capability value from PT. PLN> CB thermal capability from the calculation results, the CB capacity provided
by PT. PLN is in line.
It can be observed in table 1 that the voltage drop in the transmission line configuration of option 4 is the smallest compared to the
other options, which is 9,435 kV. So that the option 4 transmission line configuration is the most effective and most efficient.
For the configuration used by PT. PLN Persero using the configuration as in option 4. So that the results of PT. PLN Persero is
appropriate to use the most effective and efficient transmission line configuration.

According to the standards of the state electricity company (SPLN) 41-7: 1981 for aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced with a
minimum cross-sectional area of 240 mm2 (ACSR 240/40). The current conductive strength of the ACSR with a cross-sectional
area of 240 mm2 is 638 A, so that all these lines for the size of the conductor can be replaced by the PLN standard, namely
conductors with a cross-sectional area of 240 mm2.
For the number of bundle conductors used is one (n = 1), because using 1 bundle conductor can deliver power properly. However,
this is not in accordance with what is used by PT PLN. In the conductor configuration, PT. PLN uses 2 bundles, this is done by PT.
PLN deals with power distribution capacity and load estimates for the next 10 years. For all PT lines. PLN uses the type of
conductor OHL-150 kV Hawk 1x240 mm2.

These results are not in accordance with the PLN data, where the PLN impedance is 0.137 + 0.397 ohm / km, this is because the
GMD and GMR calculations use a 1 bundle configuration and there are other factors that are not reviewed.

From the table regarding the data for determining the isolation of transformers and arresters, the rated voltage close to the above
values is 138 kV.

The minimum distance between the placement of the arrester and the transformer (protected equipment) is 27.67 m before the said
equipment. So that the transformer will be safe from disturbance of surges.
TP = Ea + 10% x Ea
= 460 kV +10% x 460 kV
= 506 kV
From the above calculation, the FP value> 20% of the BIL equipment, namely 244 kV> 130 kV. Then the selection of the 138 kV
arrester rated voltage is correct.
It can be seen in the table for the short circuit current value. So the minimum breaking capacity in the CB is the Ihs value, for
example the breaking capacity value in the CB on the Pamekasan - Guluk Guluk 2 line is 3.4 kA.
However, in the market the available breaking capacities are 12.5 kA, 16 kA, 20 kA, 25 kA, 31.5 kA and 40 kA. The breaking
capacity determination also considers the withstand capacity of each CB.
In determining the withstand capacity, it is influenced by the relay working time. For CB25, CB26, CB27 and CB28 the working
time is the rele distance from my colleague's research (Indah), while for CB29 it is based on the working time of the OCR / GFR
relay from my colleague's research (Rama). Rele distance working time:
Zone 1: 0 s
Zone 2: 0.4 s
Zone 3: 1.6 s
OCR / GFR relay working time:
Overcurrent: 0.3155 s

1 Sampang 1 – Guluk Guluk 1 1.7

4 Guluk Guluk 2 – Sumenep (1km) 1.7
5 Trafo Bay 150/220 kV 0.4144
To find out whether the breaking capacity and withstand capacity are selected, it is necessary to calculate the thermal capability,
which is as follows:
TC = 2 ; where the value of R is assumed to be 1 ohm. For the circuit breaker (CB) on the Pamekasan line is 31.5 kA; 3s.
then thermal capability:
The value of WPLN > Wcalculation, this indicates that the CB capacity on the Pamekasan line is appropriate.
In the table above, it can be seen that the thermal capability value of the circuit breaker in the Pamekasan - Guluk Guluk line from
PLN is 2976.75 MW, while from the calculation of 19,652 MW, because the thermal capability of PLN is greater than the
calculation, the circuit breaker in the Pamekasan – Guluk Guluk line already appropriate. It can be seen in table 10, for CBs that
are on other lines from PLN, they also have a thermal capability that is greater than the calculation. So that CBs that are on other
lines from PLN have also been completed.
4. CONCLUSION
The construction of a 150 kV Guluk Guluk substation on the island of Madura, East Java Province, has become a solution in
overcoming the voltage drop that occurs in the Guluk Guluk area. The 150 kV Guluk Guluk substation gets supplies from 2 other
substations, namely the Sampang and Pamekasan substations and the Guluk Guluk substation supplies from the Sumenep
substation. The transmission tower used for the transmission network is a type of lattice tower with the conductor configuration is
vertical parallel, while the conductor used is 1x240 mm2 ACSR conductor. The configuration of the line and transmission tower
and the capacity of the electrical equipment used by PLN is in accordance with the calculation, but the reactance calculation has a
different value, because the calculation uses 1 bundle of conductors while PLN uses 2 bundles.
