Kajian Kebutuhan Panel Surya pada Food Estate di Desa Huta Julu

Abstract

Food Estate by applying the concept of industrial agriculture based on knowledge and technology in areas that have the potential to be used as food reserves. Solar Power Plant (PLTS) is a tool that can convert solar radiation into electrical energy. As in this study the aim is to utilize the energy needs of solar panels at food esate in Huta Julu Village. This research was conducted in Huta Julu Village, Pollung District, Humbang Hasundutan District, North Sumatra Province. First, a field survey was carried out, then collecting data on air temperature and solar radiation and recording all electricity demand data at each station in the Food Estate so that an estimate of the analysis of the energy needs of the solar panels needed in the manufacture of PLTS could be made. Air temperature and solar radiation greatly affect the efficiency of the absorption of solar panels, at the time of research the air temperature ranged from 21°C - 28°C and solar radiation of 10 MJ/m2 – 30 MJ/m2 showed little absorption of solar panel energy due to extreme climates or seasons. transition. From the electric power requirements needed at the Huta Julu Food Estate, it is estimated that the total panels used are around 103 units with a capacity of 200WP (Watt Peak) and as energy reserves, around 89 batteries are needed with a capacity of 12v 100 Ah.
