Analisis Dampak Perubahan Iklim Terhadap Efisiensi Pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Surya FTI UII

Global warming is one of the problems facing the world today. One solution to this problem is to utilize new and renewable energy-based power plants (EBT). The contribution of this research is to analyze the use of energy produced by PLTS FTI UII, as well as the effect of climate change on the production of PLTS FTI UII. The research steps are collecting data, calculating the value of PV mini-grid efficiency, and conducting climate change analysis on PV mini-grid production. The research data is the amount of energy production and energy consumption of PLTS FTI UII for the period March 2017 to July 2022. Efficiency calculations are carried out by calculating the ratio of production and total capacity of PLTS. Analysis of the effect of climate change on PV mini-grid energy production is to compare the GHI potential data with the total production of PV mini-grid each year. The results of the study show that the lowest level of production and efficiency of PLTS is in 2018 and the highest is in 2019. The factor that affects the low efficiency is the occurrence of many problems in 2018 so that it requires a lot of maintenance processes. This process will affect the production of PLTS so that the conversion process of solar energy decreases. Furthermore, the factor that causes the low efficiency is due to global warming which causes the climate to become uncertain and the production of carbon dioxide increases. Thus, energy production in PLTS decreases. From some of these analyzes, it can be concluded that the factors causing the decline in production and efficiency in the PLTS FTI UII system are the excessive and long maintenance process of the PLTS system, as well as climate change that occurs around the PLTS FTI UII system. The results of this study can be used for the evaluation process of the development of the PLTS FTI UII system in the future.
