Energy Planning in West Java using Software LEAP (Long-range Energy Alternatives Planning)

Abstract

The increase in global energy consumption is increasing every year. The increasing need for energy also in fact collides with the human need to create a clean and pollution-free environment. This condition requires us to look for alternative and renewable energy sources to support our daily lives. With the preparation of the General Provincial Energy Plan (GPEP) in the future, it is expected to strengthen the competitiveness of the West Java economy, fulfill basic needs in the energy sector and strengthen the sustainability of West Java development based on the environment and local wisdom. Preparation of the West Java Regional Energy General Plan (REGP). Data processing to predict the level of planning for electrical energy needs in West Java is processed using LEAP (Long-range Energy Alternatives Planning System) software. Demand is calculated based on the amount of electrical energy consumption activity and the amount of electrical energy consumption per activity (energy intensity). The year 2019 is the base year for the calculation. The results obtained from the prediction of electrical energy demand in 2019-2030 show a positive trend, namely an increase from 111.7 million Giga Joules to 147.9 million Giga Joules. The energy transformation in the fuel output of each power plant in West Java for the baseline scenario, in 2030 will reach 95.3 million Giga Joules. Meanwhile, energy generation in the Demand Side Management (DSM) scenario in 2019 is 6 (Thousand MW), with a capacity of 3,600 MW. Then there is an increase every year, until in 2030 it will reach 26.6 (Thousand MW), with a capacity of 5,800 MW. From this paper, the procedures and data results from calculations using the LEAP tool are expected to provide an overview and input for readers in making policy in the energy sector in particular and regional development planning in general.
