Abstract The Paiton Unit 1 & 2 Steam Power Plant (PLTU) plays an important role in meeting national electricity needs. One of the critical components in the water-steam circulation system is the Condensate Extraction Pump (CEP), which is supported by a gland seal water system to prevent leaks in the gap between the shaft and housing. This study aims to analyze the reliability of the gland seal water pressure control system before and after it was modified into an automated system integrated into the Distributed Control System (DCS). The modification involved the addition of a smart positioner and pressure transmitter. The research was conducted using a quantitative method with data collection of actual pressure over a one-month period at one-day intervals. The variables analyzed included gland seal water pressure, demand signals from the DCS, and feedback from the actuator. The analysis was performed using an independent-samples t-test. The results showed that the integrated control system was able to maintain pressure closer to the set point of 5.00 kg/cm² with a p-value of 0.01 (< 0.05). In addition, there was a 62.8% increase in control accuracy after the system was integrated with the DCS.

Kata kunci — Distribusi energi, Jaringan tegangan menengah, Penyulang Toba, Susut energi, Tegangan jatuh Abstract The distribution network is a crucial component of the electrical system that delivers electric power from the generation center to end consumers. When the network does not operate optimally, it results in energy losses that negatively impact efficiency and increase operational costs. This research aims to analyze the magnitude of energy losses and voltage drop in the Medium Voltage Network (JTM) of the Toba Feeder at PT PLN (Persero) ULP Anambas using the Jogja Formula method. Data were collected through field observation, load measurement, network length data, conductor capacity, as well as recorded kWh production and kWh sales. The analysis was conducted to determine active power loss, reactive power loss, and the estimation of unbilled energy losses in monetary value. The results show that energy losses occur in the Toba Feeder due to technical characteristics of the network, including conductor resistance and load imbalance. The Jogja Formula was proven to be effective in calculating and evaluating energy losses in the distribution network. In conclusion, energy losses can be minimized by increasing conductor cross-sectional area, balancing loads, and performing regular maintenance on the distribution system.
