Abstract

One of the renewable energies in Indonesia is solar energy. The geographical condition of Indonesia, which is a tropical country, is one of the advantages it has for applying solar energy. The Indonesian government is gradually regulating the population system for Solar Power Plants (PLTS). The resident system is in demand because of the advantage that it can be connected to the PLN grid and used as an energy reserve. The installation of rooftop PLTS both in government buildings and on the roofs of houses has now become a common trend in the community as a form of participation in the use of New and Renewable Energy (EBT). Before installing PLTS Roofs, it is necessary to determine in advance how much capacity will be installed. This is also related to the community's question, what is the percentage of electricity costs if PLTS roofs are installed in bulk. These designs and calculations are generally carried out with the help of simulations. To discuss these problems, in this article, we will discuss a simulation of the potential for electrical energy generated from rooftop solar power plants in Cilacap Green Smart Living housing. The simulation was carried out with the help of the SolarGIS PV lunar device. Analytical calculations are carried out by software based on input of regional location and solar irradiation. SolarGis will calculate the daily output power generated by the rooftop PV mini-grid and the average monthly and yearly power. The simulation results show that one house with a daily energy requirement of 13 kWh by installing a rooftop PLTS with a capacity of 3 kWp, the demand for electrical energy imported from the PLN network to the house is only 7.8% in one year.

Abstract

Solar energy has great potential as an alternative energy source in Indonesia, but its application for water pump systems in public facilities such as railway stations remains limited. This study aims to design a solar-powered water pumping system (PATS) to meet the water demands at Kroya Station using PVsyst software. The methodology includes site analysis, calculation of daily water requirements, power estimation, and system simulation using PVsyst. The simulation results indicate that the designed system meets 97.5% of the annual water demand of 2,555,000 liters, with a solar panel efficiency of 80.4% and a pump efficiency of 18.5%. The novelty of this study lies in the design of a PATS system for a railway station using simulation-based analysis with PVsyst—an approach not widely applied in public transportation facilities. These findings offer a technical basis for environmentally friendly and sustainable solar pump system planning.

Abstract

Solar energy is a new renewable energy (EBT) that can be used as an alternative energy source for electricity generation to replace fossil fuels or supplies from the National Electricity Company (PLN). One of its uses can be applied in everyday life in household appliances, namely, coconut grater machines. Coconut grater machines used in the market still use fossil fuels to crush coconut meat, so solar energy is implemented as an alternative energy to operate the coconut grater machine. The use of solar panels in this study is highly dependent on sunlight exposure. In addition, the tilt position of the solar panel can also determine the power generated by the solar panel. The tilt position of the solar panel can be manually adjusted according to the direction of sunlight at certain times. Around midday, sunlight can be captured optimally. At that time, the accumulator/battery will quickly charge, and the coconut grater machine can be used at low or high speeds. The purpose of this study is to implement a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) system-based control as a motor speed regulator on a coconut grater machine. PWM technology is installed to obtain optimal rotation results and has the potential to save electrical energy. The research results showed that the installed solar panels could produce an average of 4.86 watts of electrical power at 8:00 a.m. WIB and a maximum of 5 watts of electrical power at 12:00 p.m. WIB. Under no-load operating conditions, the current was 0.38 A and the motor speed was 3,724 Rpm. When the engine was tested under load, the speed was 2,926 Rpm.
