Implementing triple helix through Listrik Kerakyatan initiative: community-based energy from waste

Abstract

As depicted by its three components, A (academic), B (business), and G (government), the Triple Helix principle aims at narrowing the gap between the competencies of university graduates and those required by businesses or industries in the real world, under the corridor of government rules and regulations. The main issues that will be addressed by the triple helix concept is the national policy to attain 23% of renewable energy portion by the year 2025. However, the conventional electricity construction, which usually prefer a large-scale interconnected system, is currently facing serious delay due to difficulties in acquiring land and permit. Moreover, such large-scale power plants are not sufficient to serve consumers that are scattered in more than three thousand islands in Indonesia archipelago. In addition, such big projects are mostly owned by giant investors that depend on foreign fund and technology, leaving no opportunity for local people to contribute and have ownership over their energy needs. STT PLN proposes a simple small-scale distributed generation that can be owned and managed by local people by using renewable energy sources that are available around the communities. Waste is the most attractive resources because by converting waste to energy, the problem of waste can be solved at the same time. Based on the research and pilot project that had been conducted in three locations, Listrik Kerakyatan (Community-based Electricity) is technically simple so it can be applied and managed by local people. It is also economically viable as the required capital is relatively small and affordable by small enterprises. The commutative law of math also says that 1x1000 = 1000 x1. Therefore, going by that law, the total capacity generated by 1000 units of small LKs can be similar to one large unit of conventional model.

Developing Social Innovation for Corporate Sustainability: Case Studies of Gold Proper Candidate in Indonesia

“…Steam and Gas Power Plant (PLTGU) in Pesanggrahan, Denpasar Bali facilitates local people in Klungkung Bali to overcome waste overload in the area since Indonesia is second top contributors of waste [9]. The facility processes solid waste to be briquettes through TOSS (Tempat Olah Sampah Setempat or a Place for Processing solid waste) as a research and development resulted from STT PLN (PLN College of Technology).…”

“…TOSS which is also called Listrik Kerakyatan (People's Electricity) is affordable, easy and flexible to utilize, suitable for rural areas with high waste generation, small-scale plants, and self-sufficient that the TOSS management is the local community to meet the local electrification needs also [10]. The success of TOSS Klungkung is a form of ABG partnership, namely Academic, Business, and Government [9] that in addition to the role of STT PLN, the local community uses village funding for its management, PLTGU act as a provider of tools and facilitation as well as users and distribution of electricity for the community, and the Government as the regulator guarantees the participation of all villages in the program. TOSS has connecting research and innovation with economic and social benefits.…”

Current Situation of Solid Waste Management to Archive Sustainability in Klungkung Regency, Bali

“…Syngas is then used as diesel engine fuel to produce electric power. TOSS generated electricity using 15 kW Yanmar diesel Genset and 30 HP Trili on gasifier feeding by pellet (Supriadi Legino et al, 2019). The success of the TOSS program is the significant role of the local government of Klungkung Regency (Supriadi et al, 2019).…”

“…TOSS generated electricity using 15 kW Yanmar diesel Genset and 30 HP Trili on gasifier feeding by pellet (Supriadi Legino et al, 2019). The success of the TOSS program is the significant role of the local government of Klungkung Regency (Supriadi et al, 2019). TOSS Klungkung used 6 tons of pellets per 24 hours running day for generated 40 kW of electricity (Fithri & Fitriani, 2020)v.Pellet can produce in 10 days, and it is faster than bio-coal from agriculture products that need several months (S .…”
