Description
Summary:Abstract—The 500 kV Extra High Voltage Transmission Line project in Sumatra is a critical infrastructure initiative designed to improve the efficiency and reliability of power transmission across the Sumatra island. This study evaluates the technical feasibility of the project by analyzing key aspects such as operational efficiency, structural integrity, and environmental impact. The project aims to address growing energy demands in Sumatra while resolving bottlenecks in the existing 275 kV transmission system. It also facilitates the integration of renewable energy sources, such as geothermal and hydroelectric power, into the grid, contributing to a reduced reliance on fossil fuels and supporting Indonesia’s transition toward sustainable energy. The findings suggest that the project will significantly enhance the stability of the Sumatra power grid, optimize energy distribution, and promote environmental sustainability. Overall, the project is deemed feasible and essential for securing the region’s long-term energy needs.
