Electric energy is an important factor for human needs, functions as lighting, and various human activities. The large amount of electrical energy needs demands to create various alternative electrical energy. Alternative energy uses renewable energy sources to avoid crisis and energy scarcity. The National Energy Policy (KEN) has encouraged the government and the private sector and the public to use energy effectively and efficiently, and to utilize renewable energy. The direction of national energy policy includes reducing dependence on fossil fuels, specifically petroleum. Utilization of renewable energy is needed for the sustainability of national energy supply and reserves. Indonesia is called a maritime country, because 2/3 of Indonesia’s territory is the sea with the longest coastline in the world, which is ± 80,791. 42 Km and is also called an archipelagic country because it has thousands of islands. This natural situation is a great potential for the development of renewable energy, especially the energy sourced from the sea spread wide and very abundant, namely solar pond. One of the alternative sources of renewable energy sourced from the sea currently not developed in Indonesia is solar ponds, even though Indonesia has a huge geographical potential to develop this technology. There are at least two potential parameters for building a solar pond, first because Indonesia has a tropical climate with a large enough intensity of sun, second because Indonesia is a maritime country surrounded by sea, so the availability of raw water is very abundant. Solar pond is not a new power generation technology. In the history of electricity generation technology in Indonesia, this technology has never been tested and implemented at all. In this study, it has a long-term goal of generating electricity from solar ponds. Solar pond technology is a type of environmentally friendly power plant, based on seawater using sunlight to get the difference in heat in the solar pool so that the thermal layer can be converted into electrical energy. The specific targets, namely data salinity and temperature data on the prototype solar pond have been realized in the form of cylindrical with a height of 1. 05m and a diameter of 0. 8 meters. Solar pool research, in line with the goal of national transformation as a significant contributor to the benefit of the Indonesian Maritime Continent. In line with the development of electricity generation technology, solar pond technology has never been implemented in Indonesia, so this research is in accordance with the 2016-2020 National Strategic Plan number 51868 / UN4. 1 / PR. 04 / 2016.

“…When solar radiations reach the pond, a quantity is reflected depending on the angle of incidence and the rest goes into the pond where it is dissipated exponentially before reaching the bottom layer (Kanan et al, 2015). Then, the water temperature of the LCZ increases to around 80 °C (Marcoux et al, 2009).…”

A solar pond is an environment‐friendly system for storing thermal energy. Solar ponds can balance the energy supply and demand when incorporated with PCM. Solar thermal energy can be stored inside the solar pond and used for solar drying, desalination, and power production. The present study reports the heat change in the solar pond with or without PCM and nanoparticles. From the literature, it was found that handling phase change material is difficult, and added nanomaterials are used to settle with time, which reduces the efficacy of the system. The novelty of present study is to examine the performance of nanoparticle‐embedded paraffin the sensible energy storage in the solar pond. The experiment has been performed, and results have been investigated/compared for four cases, namely, (i) solar pond, (ii) solar pond with heat storage (ie, paraffin wax [PW]), (iii) solar pond with aluminum oxide () mixed PW, and (iv) solar pond with copper oxide (CuO) mixed PW. The results show that with the addition of 1% and 2%, and CuO in PW, the thermal conductivity is increased by 2.94%, 5.92%, 2.99%, and 6.01%, respectively, compared to basic paraffin wax. It can be observed from the results that with the inclusion of CuO in paraffin wax solar pond temperature was high during non‐sunshine hours compared to other solar ponds. The results also show that sensible energy without heat storage material is negligible during non‐sunshine hours compared to heat storage and nanoparticle‐embedded heat storage solar ponds. Incorporating CuO in paraffin wax showed significant potential to store heat energy.
