Power System Design Analysis for 150 WP Power Capacity

Abstract

The main energy source is still predominantly using energy sources derived from oil, coal and natural gas. As it is known that this type of energy source is limited in number because it is a non-renewable energy source. The main result of this limited quantity is the increase in the price of petroleum in the market. The price of fuel in Indonesia, which continues to rise in line with world oil prices, is one of the causes of electricity tariffs in Indonesia to become increasingly expensive. Several studies have been conducted to overcome these problems, one of which is finding alternative energy sources as a substitute for non-renewable energy sources. One of the efforts made is by utilizing solar energy using solar cells. These solar cells can convert sunlight directly into electrical energy using the principle of "Photovoltaic Effect"without causing air pollution or water pollution. It cannot be denied that solar energy is one of the environmentally friendly energy sources and is very promising in the future, because no pollution is generated during the energy conversion process, and this energy source is widely available in nature. This paper is going to calculate the characteristics solar power plants using solar panels 150WP and calculate the maximum power generated by a solar power plant resulting from. So that it can be analyzed the performance of the system design the solar power plant for a power capacity of 150WP.
