Planning Analysis Of Hybrid Power Plants In Cijeruk District Using Homer

Abstract

The population in Cijeruk District, Bogor Regency has grown by 6.27% over the last 5 (five) years. In line with the increasing population growth, the need for electrical energy from year to year is also increasing. The growth in electricity consumption needs to be accompanied by efforts to provide sufficient electricity. One of these efforts is to use renewable energy as a source of electrical energy through hybrid generation system technology. Solar energy potential of 550 – 650 W/m² and wind energy potential of 4 – 6 m/s in Cijeruk District can be utilized for Hybrid Power Plants. Hybrid Power Plant planned by using HOMER and retrieves load data from the local electricity company. The data obtained will be tested with a model made from HOMER. The optimal Hybrid Power Plant system configuration for Cijeruk District consists of solar and wind power plant. The solar and wind power plant system give a maximum output of 2,733,348 kWh/year and can supply 37.3% of the total load. Solar irradiation shading affects the output power generated by the solar power plant system by 80.5%, while the wind speed affects the output power generated by the wind power plant system by 98.9%. The energy density generated in Cijeruk District in the solar power plant system is 159.81 kWh/m² per year, while in the wind power plant system is 4.52 kWh/m².
