Abstract

Installation of distributed generations (DGs) in distribution network bring benefits for power system operation. However, DGs change the distribution network topologies from radial with one source into multi-sources network, hence magnitude and direction of the current will also change. Consequently, the existing distribution line protection i.e. current based protection, experience performances deterioration. To overcome this problem, distance relays, which work based on calculated impedance is proposed. However, since mho distance relays fail to detect faults through resistance in previous research, quadrilateral characteristic of distance relay is chosen. Quadrilateral distance relays have separate setting for reach and resistance; hence it is expected it will accommodate fault resistance. Therefore, this research aims to identify the performance of quadrilateral distance relay in protecting distribution lines that having DG. The research method is computer simulation where quadrilateral distance relays performance is tested for various faults and system conditions in a test system. The software for the simulation is Digsilent Power factory. The results conclude that the quadrilateral distance relays experienced failures to detect faults in correct zone operation due to a weak source of DG. DG generates less fault current, as consequences, the relays see large impedances.

Abstract

Installation of PV capacity that exceeds the demand of the distribution system can produce large currents that exceed the thermal rating of the electrical components and can cause export power to high voltage levels. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to obtain the PV hosting capacity of the Adinegoro feeder and to determine the voltage profile and power loss after installation of the PV. The research method is using power flow simulation with ETAP 12.6. The PV hosting capacity calculations of the Adinegoro feeder are carried out in six locations, i.e. five locations on the secondary network and one location on the primary network. The PV capacities are continuously increased until the receiving power from the grid reaches zero or no export power from the lower voltage level to higher voltage level. From the simulation results, it is obtained that the PV hosting capacity on secondary networks, is equal to 100% of the local load. While for the primary network, the maximum PV hosting capacity is 4400 kW. The installation of PV to the Adinegoro feeder can increase the voltage profile and reduce power losses in the system.

Abstract

The electric power distribution system will change very quickly along with the growth of the load which tends to increase every year. The increase of electricity demand must be anticipated with the addition of the number of generating plants that will integrate to the system in order to carry out continuous and optimal system operations. Before adding new generators to the system, a feasibility study will be conducted to provide optimal results using simulation of power flow studies. The connection of the Bayang Nyalo Hydro Power (BNHP) to the medium voltage 20 kV electricity system of the PLN with several operating scenarios provide significant results. The most optimal results have been obtained with scenario 2-2, which the operating voltage changed from 0.80 pu to 0.95 pu and power losses decreased from 2.04 MW to 1.67 MW. This provides a recommendation that the operating scheme of scenario 2-2 should be applied when the Bayang Nyalo Power Plant connects the PLN 20 kV system because this scenario does not require additional new investment from PLN.

Abstract

The integration of Distributed Generation (DG) into modern power distribution networks plays a vital role in enhancing operational efficiency and driving global decarbonization targets. However, capturing the full technical and environmental advantages of DG requires precise multi-objective optimization. This study presents a systematic literature review aimed at evaluating, synthesizing, and quantifying the methodologies used for power loss minimization and carbon emission reductions within radial distribution networks. Adhering to the PRISMA 2020 framework, a rigorous bibliometric and content analysis was performed using Publish or Perish (PoP) and VOSviewer. Out of 323 initially screened articles indexed in the Scopus database from 2017 to 2025, 112 peer-reviewed papers met the strict inclusion criteria and were comprehensively analyzed. The synthesis reveals that optimal DG placement utilizing swarm intelligence techniques—predominantly Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Genetic Algorithms (GA)—consistently achieves substantial improvements, yielding active power loss reductions between 40% and 94% and annual greenhouse gas emission mitigations ranging from 25% to 65%. Bibliometric mapping highlights a mature focus on voltage profile enhancement and network reconfiguration, while critical gaps remain in standardizing dynamic hosting capacity and life-cycle assessment (LCA) frameworks for emissions. Although simulation-based optimization models show high technical maturity, they still require real-world validation. Future research must prioritize dynamic operational strategies under stochastic renewable uncertainty to bridge this implementation gap.

Abstract

Collaborative learning is associated with higher achievement, improved social connections, enhanced communication skills, and increased self-esteem. However, challenges such as a lack of collaboration skills, unequal participation, and free riding can hinder its effectiveness. It emphasizes the need for students to develop individual learning skills—such as analysis, synthesis, and reflection—before engaging in collaborative learning to ensure success. The paper aims to analyze and compare students' learning performance in a Basic Power System course over two consecutive years, in which the first year employed collaborative learning strategies and the second year used individual learning strategies, involving fourth-semester students in an Electrical Engineering Bachelor's program. The comparison of student marks between the 2022/2023 and 2023/2024 academic years indicates that individual assignments resulted in better performance, surpassing group assignments by an average of 23.7%. Exam results corroborate these findings: the 2023/2024 cohort surpassed the target scores, while the previous year's results fell significantly short. Despite this improvement, the exam results for both years were unsatisfactory, suggesting a need for more effective learning strategies, particularly those that boost students' self-efficacy in mastering course materials.
