ABSTRACT

Yedi George Yefri Lely.  150 kV High Voltage Aerial Transmission Line Power Losses Analysis based on Poynting Vector Theorem (supervised by Muhammad Arief and Salama Manjang).

The goal of this research project is to determine the power losses of a 150 kV High Voltage Aerial Transmission Line using a method of calculation derived from the Poynting Vector Theorem. The theorem relates the power losses to the intensity of magnetic and electric field surrounding a high voltage AC (sinusoidal) aerial transmission line.

The analysis took the case of a power transmission line in South Sulawesi Indonesia, i.e. along the route from Bakaru Hydro-Power Plant to Cement Industrial Area of Bosowa and Tello, via main power stations at Tuppu, Pinrang, Pare-Pare, Barru and Pangkep. The total length of the transmission lines is 230.138 km, and the total power losses is 5.4505 MW.
