HYBRID SOLAR ELECTRICAL PRODUCTION SYSTEM (PLTS) CONSTRUCTION ANALYSIS at P.T. BAKRIE PIPE INDUSTRIES USING PVSyst 7.2 STANDARDS

Abstract

The data collection technique used is the observation method. Observation is done by direct observation and measurement. The data obtained is then analyzed and used as input in the design of PLTS Hybrid. The kWh meter data used in this study is BPI factory hourly consumption data for the last year from January 2021 – December 2021. The data is then used as a load reference in calculating the size of the total capacity of the solar panel and battery components. The calculation of the size of the total capacity of the components is carried out by iterating the results of the PVSyst 7.2 simulation which is then combined with the financial parameters of the PLTS development in order to obtain the optimal combination of total capacity sizes. After obtaining the optimal capacity of solar panels and batteries, a technical design for the construction of PLTS Hybrid is carried out as the output of this research. The technical design includes the design of PV mini-grid technology along with the bill of material/quantity of construction. From the design, an analysis of the impact of development is carried out from several aspects such as financial, environmental and social. For the financial aspect, the calculation and analysis of savings will be carried out. Regarding the environment, a carbon emission reduction analysis will be carried out.
