Optimization Placement Static Var Compensator (SVC) Using Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) Method On PT PLN (Persero) Jawa-Bali, Indonesia

Reactive power injection using Static Var Compensator (SVC) is one of the efforts that can be used to overcome the problem of transmission power loss and voltage drop caused by the increase of electrical load. Artificial bee colony (ABC) is an optimization method used to determine the position and capacity of SVC. The research purpose for knowing the location and optimal capacity of SVC in IEEE-30 Bus System using Newton-Raphson method and Artificial Bee Colony (ABC). The data to be used is primary data consisting of data bus, data channel, and data generator on Java-Bali transmission system 500 kV and data processing using software Matlab. Result and discussion First, SVC installation proved able to overcome the voltage problems so that the voltage level of all buses can meet the allowable voltage limits. Secondly, SVC installation is capable of reducing power line losses. Third, there is a decrease in active and reactive power loss by using ABC method at 100% loading and 80% loading. Fourth, There is a decrease in active and reactive power loss as well as the largest loss of power losses is when the maximum loading
