Abstract

The application of hybrid energy power plants is one solution to save electricity cost in buildings of government agencies, industries, and universities. The problem with using hybrid power plants that use solar energy sources and paid electricity networks is that sunlight energy cannot produce energy consistently from sunrise to sunset. Maximum energy can only be obtained when the sun is vertically acceptable to the photovoltaic (PV). This results in electrical loads having to be disconnected or switched back to the grid. The application of an electrical power sharing system synchronization controller system (SCS) can automatically regulate the use of electrical energy to low PV energy. The results of research on the application of hybrid PV using the SCS system with a rooftop solar panel system at the Gorontalo State University Building can produce a total electrical power of 600,975 kWh. The need for electrical power from January to September 2022 amounted to 859,151 kWh. The SCS hybrid power plant can reduce the use of paid electrical energy and its costs by 83.60%. The investment, operational, and maintenance cost requirement is IDR 10,747,886,801. The return on investment (ROI) analysis results show that the return on investment can be achieved for up to 34 years.
