Analysis Of Solar Power Plant Utilization For Public Street Lighting In Probolinggo, Jawa Timur, Indonesia
Abstract
Fossil fuels namely coal, petroleum, and natural gas have long been chosen as the main energy sources in
meeting global energy needs. However, fossil fuels have the main problem in that their amount is limited
and causes global warming. To overcome these problems, renewable energy such as solar energy can be
used. Solar energy can be converted into electrical energy by using solar panels. The installation of a solar
power plant certainly requires a large budget, to check its feasibility and can be simulated using PVSyst and
RETScreen. In particular, PVSyst is used to search for the amount of material needed, the power capacity
produced, and energy losses (there is energy lost). Then, RETScreen is used to calculate photovoltaic
installation costs, operational and maintenance costs after photovoltaic installation, and emissions.
Probolinggo has enormous potential to use solar power plants with Photovoltaic modules. This study
simulates the installation of photovoltaic modules in Probolinggo which still has shortcomings in terms of
public street lighting. From the simulations carried out, it can be concluded that Probolinggo is feasible for
the installation of the solar power plant. With PVSyst, the total number of photovoltaic modules installed is
15,112 pieces. The total power generated is 10,145 MWh. Then, by using RETScreen, a photovoltaic
installation fee of Rp142,978,410,000 was obtained. and annual maintenance costs of Rp1,281,870,000.
