Design of PV-Wind Turbine Mobile Container for Disaster Area Using Homer: A Case study in Cepu - Central Java

Abstract

This paper purpose to design a system in the form of a PV (module) -Wind Turbine Mobile container for the first solution of the disaster area application in the Cepu city of Blora, Central Java. The solution given is to make a mobile container that can assemble a short time as an independent renewable energy source with the devices used to help supply energy and easy to move. The design use hybrid energy consist of PV (module), wind turbine, inverter, water pump, reverse osmosis, lighting, and charger facilities for communication equipment. In the design process using the HOMER software, it can design a system and simulate and determine the best system configuration. In this paper, model four configurations between the power capacity of the PV (module) and the wind turbine to obtain the optimal configuration. The simulation result show configuration of 1 proposed grid-connected with load profile load is 9267-watt using capacity PV (module) 250 wP and a wind turbine 1 kW, and this system is feasible to apply.
