Electricity production in Indonesia has steadily increased during the past ten years to meet growing power demands; these high growth rates are expected to continue for the next 10 to 15 years. P.T. Perusahaan Listrik Negara Persero (PLN), is Indonesia?s national electric power utility. PLN is undergoing many changes on account of this growth and of the law passed in 2000 that changed the structure of PLN and the entire Indonesian power industry. PLN?s transmission grid is expanding, adding and improving capacity to meet the high voltage requirements on the islands of Java and Bali. The utility currently has a 500kV line serving the Java-Bali transmission system, with several new branches under construction. Along these routes, the lines are stepped down to 150kV lines to supply large areas and customers. These lines are stepped down further to 20kV for PLN?s distribution systems. The amount of power loss from the transmission lines is around 2%. PLN officials have stated that they do not need assistance with the 500kV or the 20kV lines, but they do need help improving the reliability and power quality on the 150kV lines and substations. The Technical Assistance will develop a management and investment plan for the enhancement of the quality and reliability of the Java-Bali power grid network and to ensure that future expansion maintains the required level of power delivery excellence. The Technical Assistance will conduct: 1) Evaluation of the 500kV ? 150kV, and 150kV ? 20kV Interconnections and the improvements necessary to satisfy power exchanges for the year 2004 and beyond; 2) Technical Studies of the 150kV Transmission Systems and Interconnections; 3) Impact on existing work; 4) Definition of devices used to regulate voltage and compensate for reactive energy; 5) Determination of the Technical limits of Exchanges of Active Energy in Normal Mode and in Disrupted Mode; 6) Prepare an Estimation of losses for the Different Periods and as a Function of Different Scenarios; 7) Define of an Optimal Remote Regulating System that Ensures Good Quality; 8) Study of Transitory and Dynamic Stability; 9) Provide Analysis of System Behavior in Cases of Major Incidents and Proposed Stabilization Solutions to Improve Dynamic Stability; 10) Recommendations for Developing a Defense Plan for the Network in Order to Compensate for Major Incidents (Site Losses, etc.), to Preserve Interconnections and to Avoid Network Crashes; 11) Development of a Restoration Plan for Interconnections; 12) Coordination of the Protection and Regulation Systems; 13) Evaluation of Investments Needed for Enhancements for the Different Periods (2004 and Beyond); 14) Profitability Study; 15) Define Active Power Exchange Limits During Normal Operations and in Incident Mode; 16) Cost Evaluation of Losses for Different Periods and Difference Scenarios; 17) Evaluation of Reactive Energy Cost; 18) Estimation of the Cost of Access to the Network for Electrical Transmission; 19) Technical Management Procedures; and 20) Time-Phased Improvement Implementation Plan Covering all Technical and Management Items and Cost-Analyses The U.S. firm selected will be paid in U.S. dollars from a $311,000 grant to the Grantee from the U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA).
