ABSTRACT
Synchronous generator is one of the main components in a generator that functions to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. To have the electric power sent to consumers can be maximized, the generator must have high efficiency. Generator efficiency is a comparison between output power (P_out) and input power (P_in). The ability of the generator input power can be calculated by adding up the output power with the total wasted power or total losses at the generator. Generally, total losses on generators consist of winding losses, core losses, mechanical losses and stray losses. The greater the total losses on the generator, the efficiency will tend to decrease. The quantitative research method was chosen in this study because the quantitative method is a method of using a mathematical model that can be in the form of information or explanations expressed in the form of numbers. Based on the results of an analysis of the efficiency of the GTG Unit 2.2 generators, the efficiency obtained from April 22 2019 to April 28 2019 shows that the average efficiency per day at generators is between 98-99%. If viewed from the calculations and graphs obtained from the analysis, the efficiency of the generator is greatly influenced by the load.
