Voltage stability assessment of the Southern Sulawesi power system in Indonesia for 2020 by using modal analysis

Abstract

Abstract This paper presents the voltage stability analysis assessment of the Southern Sulawesi power system in Indonesia for the year 2020, considering the load increase every year, the addition of new power plants as well as the large additional load of smelter industries in the Bantaeng Regency. The voltage stability method used in this paper is the modal analysis method. Modal analysis method uses the Jacobian reduction matrix resulting from the Newton-Raphson power flow analysis. Modal analysis produces eigenvalues for each load bus in the system. The bus with the smallest eigenvalue becomes the focus in determining the stability of the system. Then bus participation factor is determined to obtain the most influential bus to improve the stability. The results of this study confirm that by 2020, the Southern Sulawesi power system will be in a stable condition, with the smallest eigenvalue of 5.8 in bus Pare-Pare while bus Barru has the highest bus participation factor.
