Comparative efficiency solar panels and wind turbine DC generator as green energy sources in Bangka Island

Abstract

Renewable energy power generation is a concept of generating electrical energy that is widely applied today. The rapid population growth is proportional to the high demand for electrical energy. There are still a lot of power plants that rely on fossil fuels as a source of energy to drive the turbines. The limitations of fossil energy provide an alternative thought for using renewable energy as electricity generation. Bangka Island is an island with great potential for solar and wind energy. The two energy sources are expected to provide a solution to the scarcity of energy that occurs on the island of Bangka. This research is expected to provide input in solving the problem of the high demand for electrical energy on the island of Bangka and provide an idea that renewable energy is a substitute for limited fossil energy. From each renewable energy generator, research is carried out to obtain the electrical energy produced. The electrical energy data generated by the two power plants will be compared in order to obtain effectiveness and efficiency values. The research was conducted in Bangka district using 50 Wp solar panels and 30 Watt DC generators.
