Abstract

This study addresses the issue of high resistance in the grounding system of the Savonius-Solar Hybrid Power Plant at Politeknik Negeri Malang, caused by rocky and sandy soil conditions, with an initial resistance value of 35 Ω. The purpose of this research was to test the effectiveness of soil treatment using bentonite, charcoal, and salt in reducing resistance to meet the PUIL 2011 standard (<5 Ω). This study employed an experimental method with a quantitative approach, measuring resistance values before and after soil treatment application using a three-point earth tester.The results showed that soil treatment successfully reduced the soil resistance from 35 Ω to 2.85 Ω, meeting the maximum standard. This finding indicates that soil treatment is effective in improving the safety and reliability of grounding systems, making it beneficial for application in similar electrical systems located in areas with challenging soil characteristics.

Abstract

Indonesia, an expansive archipelagic nation with over 17,000 islands, encounters significant challenges in ensuring a sustainable and dependable electricity supply, particularly in its West Papua region. The reliance on diesel fuel for electricity generation in this area poses substantial environmental risks and incurs high costs. A comprehensive research study addressing the environmental and economic challenges associated with diesel dependence in West Papua proposed a shift towards sustainable and cost-effective solutions by advocating for adopting off-grid hybrid power systems. This study targeted Yensawai Village in the Raja Ampat Islands, employing a detailed techno-economic analysis through HOMER Pro to identify the most cost-effective system configurations. The findings indicated that the optimal setup consists of a 160 kW diesel generator, complemented by a 70.1 kW solar photovoltaic (PV) system, a 30 kW inverter, and an 80 kWh battery storage unit. This configuration not only proved to be economically viable by reducing the levelized cost of electricity (CoE) by 15.7%—achieving a CoE of $0.236/kWh compared to the base scenario's $0.280/kWh—but also highlighted the potential for similar benefits across regional systems. By focusing on the economic advantages of hybrid energy configurations, this research contributes significantly to the broader discourse on sustainability and the urgent need to reduce diesel dependence, offering a practical approach to cutting electricity generation costs in remote island communities and advancing sustainability initiatives.
