Abstract

The construction of 150 kV transmission line in Southeast Sulawesi is intended to establish interconnection with Sulbagsel system. The developing is intended to replace the power supply came from the diesel power plant with 150 kV interconnection system that cheaper and more reliable. The another objective is to evacuate the power generated by a number of plants in the Southeast Sulawesi area . One of transmission line will be built is a 150 kV Raha-Baubau transmission line
One of the main potensial impact of 150 kV Raha-Baubau transmission line construction is the emergence of electromagnetic field radiation. The electromagnetic field radiation is an alarming issue for some people or community. The value of electromagnetic field generated by transmission line can be conducted by calculation and simulation as studied in this research. This research uses shadow conductor approach method.
The calculation and simulation results show that the largest electric field value occur at two coordinate points (-7,2) and (7,2) with 0.366778 kV/m. The largest magnetic field occurs at coordinates (0,2) with 3.186838 A/m or 0.004 milli Tesla. The value of electromagnetic field radiation occurring is still below the specified standard value of 5 kV/m for the electric field and 0.1 mili Tesla for the magnetic field.
