Utilization of Solar Power Plant as an Alternative Energy Sources Solar Applications in Building System

Abstract

Solar energy is one source of energy and has advantages compared with fossil energy sources. Solar energy is very necessary to be researched and developed further, including at the University of Muhammadiyah Sidoarjo. Utilization of solar energy, it is by preparing the installation of Photovoltaic Cell (solar cells) to determine the placement position and angle of the slope. The utilization of solar power will be applied at the Laboratory of Electrical Engineering University of Muhammadiyah Sidoarjo to make Solar Building System (SBS). This study will carry out an analysis of the utilization of solar energy compared to using the resources of PT. State Electricity Company (PT. PLN). The analysis was done with the installation of SBS consider investment and installation costs grid drawn on the Net Present Value, and compare the operating cost between SBS with the grid system. This research show the results of the analysis in gain by using SBS will have a value higher efficiency compared to the grid system at a certain time span by considering Break Event Point (BEP) SBS installation investment. Over 21 Years.

“…Saat ini masyarakat masih menggunakan fosil untuk memenuhi kebutuhan energinya. Jadi, semakin lama semakin berkurang, pertumbuhan rata-rata kebutuhan energi diperkirakan mencapai 4,7% per tahun selama tahun 2011 hingga tahun 2030 [1]. Peningkatan jumlah pemakaian kendaraan berbahan bakar fosil yang berlebihan di kota-kota besar yang membengkak tiada henti, karena masyarakat secara tidak masuk akal membeli skuter, sepeda motor dan mobil sehingga menyebabkan pencemaran udara [9].…”

“…The solar power generation system introduced in the 1950s has no pollution, noise, fuel, and easy maintenance characteristics compared to other conventional generation systems. However, despite these inherent advantages, there are some limitations in the utilization of PV systems due to the high capital costs of systems including solar cells and power conditioning systems [1].…”
