ABSTRAK

PLTU Tambak Lorok memiliki 3 unit pembangkit dengan kapasitas total 300 MW,
unit 3 memilki kapasitas 200MW. Berdasarkan desain, kondensor unit 3 PLTU
Tambak Lorok memiliki tekanan vakum desain sebesar 696mmHg, tetapi dalam
data operasinya mengalami penurunan berkisar sebesar 6 mmHg. Saat ini belum
dilakukan kajian mengenai pengaruh vakum kondensor terhadap kerja turbin dan
efisiensi siklus di PLTU Tambak Lorok unit 3. Sehingga penelitian ini menganalisis
akibat penurunan tekanan vakum kondensor terhadap kerja low pressure turbin,
condensate pump dan efisiensi siklus PLTU dengan menggunakan aplikasi cycle
tempo release 5 untuk mensimulasikan heat balance. Hasil yang diperoleh Setiap
penurunan tekanan vakum kondensor rata rata sebesar 1 mmHg berakibat
turunnya efisiensi siklus sebesar 0,007% dan turunnya efisiensi pembangkit
0,042% akibat penurunan tekanan vakum sebesar 6mmHg. Selain itu penurunan
tekanan vakum kondensor sebesar 1mmHg berakibat hilangnya daya sebesar
103,02 kW pada low pressure turbine dan penurunan tekanan vakum sebesar
6mmHg terjadi penurunan daya sebesar 618,12 kW

Kata kunci : tekanan vakum, kondensor, kerja turbin, efisiensi siklus PLTU, cycle
tempo.

 ABSTRACT

Tambak Lorok Steam Powered Power Plant consists of 3 Generators unit with
total capacity of 300 MW, Unit 3 has the capacity of 200 MW. According to design
Condensor of Unit 3 Tambak Lorok Steam Powered Power Plant have the
designed vaccum pressure of 696 mmHg, thoughacording to its operation data
there is a decrease of vaccum pressure of 6 mmHg. There is no further study of its
effect to turbine performance and cycle eficiency for Tambak Lorok Steam
Powered Power Plant Unit 3. Therefore in this research the effect of vaccum
pressure of condensor to low pressure turbine performance, Condensate pump
and ycle efficiency of Tambak Lorok Steam Powered Power Plant using cycle
tempo release 5 to simulate heat balance will be analyzed. The result of vaccum
condensor decrease in average around 1 mmHg is a decrease of 0.007% cycle
effciency and 0.042% decrease of Power Plant efficiency as the effect of 6 mmHg
vaccum pressure decrease. Moreover the decrease of 1 mmHg of vaccum
pressure in condensor will result in the loss of 103.2 kW in low pressure turbine
and 6 mmHg vaccum pressure lost in condensor will result in 618.2 kW power
loss.

Key words : vaccum pressure, condensor, turbine performance, power plant cycle
efficiency, cycle tempo
