"When the constrained electricity supply today, everything is working well so that the service activity, particularly in relation to aviation safety as well as service to passenger not at all disturbed."
Electricity supply at Soekarno Hatta was stopped an hour during a disturbance at the South Jakarta Gandul substation. However, flight operations and passenger services at airports remained normal, since electricity generators support working optimally.
Corporate Secretary of PT Angkasa Pura II revealed Cahyono Day, the supply of electricity at Soekarno Hatta was stopped at 13:18 pm and returning flow to the Main Power Station (MPS) at 14:00 pm. During the stagnant supply of PLN, airport operations rely on the eight generators that back up the priority lane at Soekarno Hatta Airport.
"When the electricity supply today is constrained, it can work so well that the service activity, particularly with regard to flight safety and service to the passengers did not bother him at all," he said in a statement here on Wednesday (25/4).
Described, the eight generators supporting the priority lines include, among others, aviation safety network techniques (radar, tower, transmitter) for 3x850 Kilo Volt Ampere (KVA), network service operational priorities in the passenger terminal (check-in, x-ray, baggage, garbarata , Flight Information System diplay / FIDS) sebsar 3x1600 KVA, and Terminal 3 of 2x2000 KVA.
"All the generators that we have it directly works automatically to channel the flow to the priority points. If to track non-priority, indeed during the outage lasts no current is flowing back. Pathways that are non-priority area Cargo Terminal tenant as well as stalls, lights and air conditioning (AC) in the terminal, "he explained.
According to Day, the supply of electricity started flowing again to Main Power Station (MPS) Soekarno-Hatta airport at 14.00 pm with a voltage equal to 17 Kilo Volt (KV). However, given the required voltage of 20 KV, the existing electricity supply is still not able to be used.
"The voltage electric current supplied to the Soekarno-Hata PLN managed to reach 20 KVA at exactly 14:32 pm, and we immediately distributed evenly throughout the facility. However, in anticipation, we turn on the generator remains to PLN ensure supply will not be disturbed again. Up today we continue to coordinate with the PLN, "he concluded.
Delivered Today Cahyono, electricity supply needs of the Soekarno-Hatta PLN per day for 35 Mega Volt Ampere (MVA) with a large voltage of 20 KV substation Batujaya through Tangerang. In accordance with the scheme Grand Design development of Soekarno-Hatta Airport, Main Power Station capacity will be developed from 35 MVA to 60 MVA.
