Along with developments in the maritime sector, especially on ships, the need for electric power on board will be very diverse. The use of diesel engines as power plants requires fuel to drive a diesel while the use of fuel in ships produced from petroleum processing is limited. Efforts to reduce the use of fuel is by implementing new renewable energy as independent electricity on ship. In EBT inverter technology plays an important role in converting DC voltage to AC voltage. In the inverter, the use of microcontrollers as drivers to generate PWM signals continues to develop. One of the developments of the microcontroller is ESP32. The problem that often occurs in inverters is that the output voltage is unstable. In addition to maximizing the performance of the inverter, it is necessary to add a protection system to reduce the risk of damage to the inverter or the load. Therefore, an inverter was made using the ESP32 microcontroller driver with the addition of protection and the fuzzy method as a voltage stabilizer. This inverter will change the 12 Vdc to 220 vac. In the Matlab simulation, the inverter can change the 12 vdc to 12 vpeak with a carrier signal of 20 khz and a reference signal of 50 hz. From the results of the inverter output will be changed to 220 vac using a step up transformer. The research overlay is being able to make a pure sine wave SPWM inverter using an ESP32 driver with a stable voltage.
