Planning for clean energy utilization in the provision of clean water on Barrang Caddi Island

Abstract

Barrang Caddi Island has a Diesel Power Plant (Genset) of 340 kVA which is operated by self-management by the local community and cannot meet the electricity needs of the community because the Genset only operates for 8 hours at night. The discontinuity of the Genset operation on Barrang Caddi Island makes the Ready to Drink Water Machine or Arsinum on the island to provide its own electrical energy which is supplied by a 15 kVA Genset machine that operates 24 hours/day. The drinking water produced by Arsinum is clean water but has the potential to produce environmental pollution because the power plant used is diesel fuel. In addition, the cost of electrical energy will also increase due to the increasing price of oil. Therefore, planning is carried out to optimize the operation of Arsinum by making several models of power plants that can supply the machine. From the planning results, it was found that the optimal Hybrid Power Plant (Genset – Solar Power Plant) model to be applied so that it could supply electrical energy of 128092 kWh/year. The advantage of this model is that the operating costs are small and can contribute to renewable energy by 33%.
