Operation Technology, Inc. (OTI) has announced that PT Newmont
Nusa Tenggara (PTNNT), operator of one of Indonesia’s largest
copper-gold mines, has successfully deployed the ETAP Real-Time
enterprise power system solution to reduce production losses due
to faults caused by a variety of environmental disturbances. In
addition, PTNNT is using ETAP Real-Time to monitor, control and
optimize power generation and transmission at its facilities throughout
Indonesia’s Sumbawa island.
PTNNT’s installation of ETAP Real-Time employs two primary
products: ETAP Intelligent Load Shedding (ILS) and ETAP Power System
Monitoring & Simulation (PSMS). Together, these products provide
PTNNT with a fully integrated system to optimize electrical power
management, resulting in lower generation cost and fewer process
time losses due to unnecessary load tripping.
For this project, the heart of ETAP Real-Time is ILS, an advanced
product that uses artificial intelligence to dynamically determine
the optimal system response to a variety of system changes and
disturbances. ILS evaluates electrical and physical parameters,
network topology, control logics and system operating conditions
(loading, generation, etc.) to determine the best load shedding
priority, based on the type and location of the disturbances. ILS
provides faster execution of load shedding, as compared to conventional
frequency relays, further reducing the load relief requirements.
ETAP Real-Time has been operating at PTNNT for more than six months.
According to Ilyas Yamin, GF Power and T&D Maintenance Engineer
for PTNNT, ETAP ILS is the most intelligent load shedding system
available compared with any other products on the market.
"The development of ETAP ILS was a major defining
milestone for OTI," stated Dr. Farrokh Shokooh, President and CEO
of OTI. “We
have developed many new state-of-the-art products in our 20-year
history, but ETAP Intelligent Load Shedding stands out as one of
our greatest achievements,” Shokooh adds. “ILS has
broken new ground in power management technology by providing the
intelligence and speed required to minimize the detrimental effects
of system disturbances. We are extremely proud to see ETAP ILS
in action.”
