ANALISIS KEMAMPUAN PEMBANGKITAN PLTS HYBRID SELAYAR 1,3 MWP

Abstract

One of the power plants built by the government through PT PLN Persero is the 1.3 MWp Selayar Hybrid PLTS. This PLTS is located in Parak Village, Bontomanai District, Selayar Regency, South Sulawesi (Sulsel). This PLTS was built on an area of 1.46 hectares (ha) with a capacity of 1.3 mega wattpeak (MWp). However, sometimes the construction of PLTS is not balanced with good maintenance, which can reduce the performance of the PLTS. This research was carried out to analyze PV module efficiency and performance ratios as well as a simulation regarding the system and location of the Selayar PLTS installation. Then the simulation results become a reference for comparative analysis of the real operating conditions of the Selayar PLTS, which aims to identify the real production of electrical energy, constraints and operational problems of the PLTS. From the results of data analysis, it was found that the average efficiency of the solar modules used in the Selayar 1.3 MWp Hybrid PLTS was 14.44%. The energy produced by the Selayar hybrid PLTS during the period 1 March 2023 to 31 March 2023 with operating hours of 07.00-17.00 is 153.08 MWh. With a Final Yield (Yf) of 3,804 hours, Reference Yield (Yr) of 5,802 hours, and a Performance Ratio (PR) of 65.57%. There are differences in the results of the comparison between the simulation using the PVsyst application and the real results, where the real results are lower than the simulation results. The simulation electricity production results and the real results show a difference in energy production of 23,822 MWh or 12.86%.
