Planning an on-grid solar energy generation system for the Dwimatama pier at Tanjung Emas port

Abstract

Global warming is the gradual increase in the temperature of the earth’s atmosphere caused by increasing levels of pollutant gases such as carbon dioxide. Natural characteristics are expected to change as the earth’s surface temperature rises. By 2025, Indonesia’s renewable energy use is expected to reach 23%. (Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, 2021). Existing critical sectors such as transportation and freight forwarding are being examined. For instance, vessels can reduce their carbon footprint by connecting to shore-connection facilities powering renewable energy sources in ports. The case study is the Dwimatama pier in Semarang’s Tanjung Eams port. The city of Semarang receives approximately six hours of sunlight per day. The solar power plant could serve as a source of electrical energy in this region. The results of this study indicate that to generate electrical energy from 1 MWp of solar radiation, a panel area of approximately 1 hectare is required for a solar panel with a 20% efficiency.

Solar power plant on the rooftop of the Diponegoro University Rectorate: a technical and economic study

“…The Indonesian government has proposed revising regulation of the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources number 49 of 2018 concerning the use of rooftop solar power generation systems by consumers of the National Electricity Company [5], [6] into a Regulation of the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Daya Mineral number 26 of 2021 concerning rooftop solar power plants connected to an electric power network holders of business licenses. This results in an increase in the selling price from 65% to 100% of the existing price at the National Electricity Company.…”

“…This results in an increase in the selling price from 65% to 100% of the existing price at the National Electricity Company. Through this regulation, the government hopes to motivate and encourage the community to install solar power plants [5], [7], [8]. The high potential of solar energy in Indonesia, as well as government support and regulation, make solar energy a viable option for meeting future electricity needs [8], [9].…”
