CONCLUSION

22

SUGGESTION
By installing 69.69 kVAR in Bugis 1 Substation
and 77.37 kVAR Bugis 2 Substation, we will have 1199.9
kWh spare power capacities and some technical
benefits. But, it is not profitable enough economically.
Therefore, needs further study to make sure how
profitable it is.
