Abstract

Nowadays application of new and renewable energy as main resource of power plant has greatly increased. High penetration of renewable energy into the grid will influence the quality and reliability of the electricity system, due to the intermittent characteristic of new and renewable energy resources. Smart grid or microgrid technology has the ability to deal with this intermittent characteristic especially if these renewable energy resources integrated to grid in large scale, so it can improve the reliability and efficiency of the grid. We plan to implement smart microgrid system at Sekolah Tinggi Teknik PLN as a pilot project. Before the pilot project start, the feasibility study must be conducted. In this feasibility study, the renewable energy resources and load characteristic at the site will be measured. Then the technical aspect of this feasibility study will be analyzed. This paper explains that analysis of ths feasibility study.

Highlights

  • The conditions of electricity in Indonesia is still inadequate, which the ratio of electrification is still low at 87% as of October 2015

  • Since 2015 STT PLN has been conducting some research of smart microgrid, with stage: study potentials stats with (2015) and design of the smart microgrid laboratorium scale model (2016) [3], As the development of smart microgrid model and for application in the field, so as a first step of the implementation to start to establish the pilot project of smart microgrid system with in at the laboratory scale in STT PLN start in 2017

  • Research and development of renewable energy especially for Solar Power Generation based on smartgrid technology has been listed on RIP STT PLN 2013 2018

Summary

Introduction

The conditions of electricity in Indonesia is still inadequate, which the ratio of electrification is still low at 87% as of October 2015 This shows that people access the energy is still limited. Utilization of new and renewable energy and implementation of energy conservation are not set optimal [1]. As the one of the way fulfil local needs for electricity, and in accordance with the policies of Indonesian government, in the past few years has been started the development of power systems of new and renewable energy (EBT) [2]. Due to the nature intermittent characteristic of new and renewable energy, we need a system to resolve the issue. Smart microgrid system or smart grid is one technology that can effectively and efficiently address the integration of new and renewable Energy in the electrical system for a large scale. Since 2015 STT PLN has been conducting some research of smart microgrid, with stage: study potentials stats with (2015) and design of the smart microgrid laboratorium scale model (2016) [3], As the development of smart microgrid model and for application in the field, so as a first step of the implementation to start to establish the pilot project of smart microgrid system with in at the laboratory scale in STT PLN start in 2017
