Abstract

Teleprotection systems play a critical role in ensuring the reliability and security of power transmission networks by enabling fast and selective fault isolation between substations. However, in existing operational conditions, teleprotection devices are often monitored manually and locally, causing limitations in real-time visibility, early fault detection, and operational efficiency. This study presents the design and implementation of a remote teleprotection monitoring system using the Zabbix Network Monitoring System at the Paiton–Probolinggo substation link under PT PLN (Persero) UP2B East Java. The proposed system integrates teleprotection devices, communication networks, and a centralized Zabbix server to monitor device status, communication link availability, alarm conditions, and connectivity performance in real time. System development was carried out through field observation, system analysis, network design, device integration, and functional testing. The implementation results show that the monitoring system is able to provide centralized visualization, automated alarm notifications, and faster detection of teleprotection disturbances. The developed system improves operational visibility, reduces manual inspection activities, and supports faster decision-making in fault handling. This study demonstrates that Zabbix can be effectively utilized as a reliable and scalable monitoring platform for teleprotection systems in power transmission substations.
