Abstract
This study was a case study in PT. PLN (Ltd.) APJ Bandung area with the subject taken was the installation of distributed generation (DG) on 20-kV distribution channels. The purpose of this study is to find out the effect of DG to the changes in voltage profile and three-phase short circuit fault in the 20-kV distribution system with load conditions considered to be balanced. The reason for this research is to know how far DG can improve the voltage profile of the channel and to what degree DG can increase the three-phase short circuit fault on each bus. The method used in this study was comparing the simulation results of power flow and short-circuit fault using ETAP Power System software with manual calculations. The result obtained from the power current simulation before the installation of DG voltage was the drop at the end of the channel at 2.515%. Meanwhile, the three-phase short-circuit current fault before the DG installation at the beginning of the channel was 13.43 kA. After the installation of DG with injection of 50%, DG power obtained voltage drop at the end of the channel was 1.715% and the current fault at the beginning network was 14.05 kA. In addition, with injection of 90%, DG power obtained voltage drop at the end of the channel was 1.06% and the current fault at the beginning network was 14.13%.
