Abstract

The Batam-Bintan electrical system encounters operational challenges due to inadequate new power plants being commissioned to meet the increasing demand. Bintan Island's supply dependency on Batam Island through the undersea cables and 150 kV SUTT places operational stress systemically and adds vulnerability to disruption. The focus of the research is to optimize the system reliability through peak load forecasting up to 2030 and refining the strategic locations and sizes for the new power plants. The calculation forecast employs a second-order polynomial regression method, whereas the load flow analysis is performed with DIgSILENT PowerFactory 2022 software. Based on the research, the peak load is expected to grow from 675.2 MW in 2024 to 1,322.1 MW by 2030. To attain reliability, 940 MW of additional generation capacity is required, which is made up of 580 MW of DG (distributed generation) and 360 MW of central generation. The placement of DG is focused on substations that are overloaded or approaching overload, while centralized generation is positioned where power loss is lowest. The evaluation results indicate the additional generation makes it possible to maintain voltage stability, reduce dependence on PLTU XYZ and meet the reserve power requirement of a 35% power margin.
