Abstract
Capacitor Banks provide reactive power to improve voltage levels and will minimize power losses in the electric power system. In the South Sulawesi electric power system there are variations of buses so that the capacitor installed really needs to optimize the location and capacity of the capacitor. The Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) method is used in determining the location and magnitude of the compensator (capacitor bank) on the 150 kV high voltage transmission system in South Sulawesi. The purpose of this use is to determine the ability of ABC as a solution to the optimization method for improving voltage levels and minimizing power losses in high voltage transmissions. There are 7 scenarios carried out in this research, scenarios 2, 3, and 4 using conventional methods, scenarios 5 to 7 applying the ABC method. The results of these 6 scenarios are an increase in the voltage on the bus and the minimization of power losses in the South Sulawesi system. And the ABC method optimizes the operation of the electric power system.
