Samsu Tuwongkesong, Muchdar D. Patabo, Sukandar Sawidin, Julianus G. Daud . RTU Control in GH Manembo by SCADA 20 KV Distribution Network Minahasa Systems. International Journal of Computer Applications. 175, 27 ( Oct 2020), 14-19. DOI=10.5120/ijca2020920788
In the Minahasa Electrical System, disturbance handling can be done quickly by using a remote protection control system that is capable of monitoring, control and data acquisition in real time. SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) becomes a solution in disturbance handling because it has a protection system that works in real time that can be controlled remotely. But in fact, the SCADA System based customized Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) in the Manembo-Nembo Substation sometimes cannot be controlled by the Master Terminal Unit (MTU) on the SCADA System. The research objectives were thus to determine what causes the disturbance and find a way out to minimize the frequency of disturbances to increase the reliability of an electrical energy distribution system. The test results show that remote control failure is caused by poor signal from the communication provider at the remote station location and the reliability of communication equipment such as GSM modems in capturing signals affects the failure rate of the remote control. The remote control trend after system reparation is increase from 94.83% with a calculation of 2089 executions in April rising to 95.29% in May 2020 with 2672 successes from 2804 executions.
