The Analisis Potensi Pemanfaatan Photovoltaic Panel (PV) Berdasarkan Kombinasi Analisis Numerik Yang Dioptimalkan Dengan Metode BSG-Starcraft Radius PSO Menggunakan Software Pvsyst 7.4.

Abstrak

The utilization of Photovoltaic (PV) power plants as an alternative energy source in maritime infrastructure, such as lighthouses, can enhance operational efficiency and reduce dependency on fossil fuels, which often face logistical constraints and high costs. This research aims to analyze the utilization of PV at the Tanjung Pemali Lighthouse, which has historically used a diesel generator as its primary power source. The method employed is the BSG-Starcraft Radius PSO method to optimize the configuration of a hybrid PV-genset system by conducting simulations using PVSyst 7.4 software. This method is used to determine the appropriate number of solar panels, battery capacity, and inverter size to meet the energy needs of the lighthouse. The research results indicate that the implementation of PV at the lighthouse can significantly reduce operational costs, with the system's Performance Ratio value reaching 80.01%. Furthermore, this system provides better energy resilience, with the ability to supply electricity for 72 hours during adverse weather conditions without sunlight, as well as improved stability of the electricity supply, thus extending the lifespan of electronic equipment at the lighthouse. This study also discusses the technical and economic challenges in implementing this system, including the need for maintenance and adjustment of equipment and its monitoring system. The findings support the national energy policy aimed at increasing the use of renewable energy in the maritime sector.
