Abstract

The reliability of the electric power distribution system plays a crucial role in ensuring a stable and continuous power supply to consumers. This study analyzes the performance reliability of the 20 kV distribution network at PT. PLN (Persero) UP3 North Medan by evaluating key reliability indices, including SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index), SAIFI (System Average Interruption Frequency Index), and CAIDI (Customer Average Interruption Duration Index). The research methodology involves data collection from historical outage records, fault analysis, and statistical evaluation of reliability indices. The findings indicate that the reliability performance of the 20 kV distribution network in UP3 North Medan is influenced by various factors, such as equipment failures, weather conditions, and external disturbances. Based on the analysis, strategies for improving reliability are proposed, including preventive maintenance, network automation, and enhanced fault detection systems. By implementing these measures, PLN can improve service quality and reduce power outages, ultimately enhancing customer satisfaction and system efficiency.

Abstract

The increasing demand for stable and efficient electrical energy in telecommunication systems, particularly in IndiHome network infrastructure, requires a reliable energy management strategy. One of the key challenges faced is the presence of reactive power, which can reduce power factor efficiency and lead to higher energy losses. This study focuses on optimizing the energy management system using a 20 kV capacitor bank to improve power factor and reduce electrical losses in IndiHome network devices. The research involves the design, implementation, and analysis of a capacitor bank control system that responds dynamically to load variations. Through simulation and real-time testing, the system is evaluated based on its ability to maintain a high power factor, reduce energy consumption, and stabilize voltage levels. The results show that the optimized capacitor bank system can improve power factor to above 0.95 and reduce reactive power demand significantly, resulting in improved overall energy efficiency. This optimization not only reduces operational costs but also enhances the reliability and longevity of network equipment by minimizing voltage drops and harmonic disturbances. The study concludes that capacitor bank-based energy management systems are highly effective and essential for modern telecommunication infrastructure. Keyword : Capacitor Bank, Power Factor, Energy Management, Telecommunication, IndiHome, 20 kV, and Reactive Power
