Abstract

The use of unbalanced electrical loads in power systems can significantly impact the lifespan of electrical equipment. Load imbalance often occurs in power distribution systems serving various types of consumers with diverse consumption patterns. This study aims to analyze the effect of unbalanced load usage on the lifespan of electrical equipment, such as transformers, cables, and protection devices. The methodology involves measuring electrical parameters such as current, voltage, and power factor under balanced and unbalanced load conditions. Operational data are processed to determine the level of imbalance and its effects on temperature rise, power losses, and equipment efficiency degradation. The analysis is complemented with simulation models to predict equipment lifespan reduction based on thermal and electrical standards. The results indicate that load imbalance leads to a significant increase in operating temperatures, particularly in transformers and cables, accelerating insulation degradation. Additionally, load imbalance increases power losses, reducing overall system efficiency. This study concludes that better load management to achieve balance can extend the lifespan of electrical equipment and improve the reliability of power systems.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the capacity of a 220 VDC battery used in the acoustic system of the Gas and Steam Power Plant (PLTGU) at the Belawan Generating Unit (UP). Batteries have an important role as a backup energy source in maintaining the continuity of the electrical operational system, especially in emergency conditions. The research method includes testing the battery capacity by measuring current, voltage, and discharge time under various load conditions. The test results show that battery capacity can vary depending on temperature, age, and previous charging conditions. The data obtained are explained to rotate the battery performance in supporting the PLTGU system. This conclusion provides recommendations for routine maintenance and battery replacement, to ensure the electrical system at the Belawan UP continues to function optimally. This research is expected to be a reference for PLTGU managers in improving the efficiency of the power plant system.
