Abstract
This research aims to determine the location and capacity of distributed generations and reactive power compensations to minimize network losses of Southern Sulawesi power systems after the integration of Poso Hydroelectric Power Plants. The method used in this study is the Newton-Raphson power flow method, where the results of power flow are further employed to find the location and capacity of capacitors and distributed generations (DG). The proposed method is utilized to overcome the high network losses problems that emerged after the integration of Poso Hydro Power Plant. The replacement strategy of DG and reactive compensators are then examined particularly at unstable buses in diminishing the network losses.
