Non-Technical Loss Analysis Based on kWh Meter Maintenance Aspects at PT. PLN (Persero) UP3 Situbondo
Keywords:
kWh Meter Disturbances, Non-Technical Losses, Impact of kWh Meter Replacement.Abstract
During the process of electricity distribution, there is a loss of electrical energy that comes from the difference between the amount of energy produced and the amount sold. This is referred to as losses. Losses are classified into two types: technical losses and non-technical losses. Non-technical losses represent the loss of electrical energy due to unmeasured energy caused by disturbances in measuring instruments (kWh meters). These disturbances may include aged kWh meters, blurry meters, damaged or broken meter covers, blank LCD displays, non-rotating meter disks, and burned or lightning-struck meter terminals. This study employs both qualitative and quantitative methods. The collected data consists of the realization of kWh meter replacements experiencing disturbances from January to June 2024. Based on these data, the total percentage of non-technical losses experienced by PLN Situbondo is 0.65%. Meanwhile, the percentage contribution of kWh meter disturbances to non-technical losses is 0.0076%. During the disturbance period, electricity consumption was recorded at 244,871 kWh. However, after the kWh meter repairs, consumption increased to 274,648 kWh. Therefore, the improvement in losses reached 29,777 kWh, equivalent to Rp 20,758,691. Other benefits include improved operational efficiency for PLN and increased accuracy in customers’ electricity billing readings. This minimizes meter reading errors. Thus, replacing kWh meters is an effective way to reduce such losses.
