OPTIMASI SISTEM HIBRID PV-DIESEL UNTUK MENGURANGI PENGGUNAAN BAHAN BAKAR DI DESA TAGALAYA, PULAU TAGALAYA, HALMAHERA UTARA

Abstrak

Tagalaya Island in North Halmahera is one of the islands in Indonesia that uses hybrid diesel and solar cell (PV) energy to meet the electricity needs of the villagers. The Regional Government of North Halmahera Regency does not charge maintenance fees for the system due to the low income of the residents. This is because the majority of the population are fishermen, laborers, and farmers. Therefore the operating cost of the system must be low. The purpose of this research is to optimize fuel consumption in PV-diesel hybrid systems with weekday and weekend loads to reduce fuel costs using the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) method.

This study is divided into two scenarios, namely the diesel-only scenario and the PV-diesel scenario. In the diesel-only scenario, with the obligatory resident contribution of Rp. 50,400,000.00 in one year and the total fuel cost per year of Rp. 48,639,000.00, the remaining costs borne by Tagalaya villagers are only 3.49% of the village contribution. . In the second scenario of the PV-diesel hybrid, the total annual fuel consumption cost is IDR 0.00. From the utility costs and the total cost of fuel consumption in this scenario, the residents of Tagalaya village can have a remaining cost of 100% of the payment of the village fee.
