Abstract

Electricity plays a crucial role for a better operation in railways. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the electricity to run continuously without disrupting the network. Tower R.67 of Mount Gending serves as the base station tower, located in the area of Sintelis Kalibaru Resort, which utilized to connect telecommunication activities in train operations. This tower is located in a mountainous area that often experience power outages by the PLN authorities. When frequent power outages occur, the generator set installed as a backup power supply will have to work continuously. This concern causes the generator set to experience technical error due to its continuous work. On the other hand, Mount Gending is the region that has the potential access to the sunlight as one of the renewable resources. Sunlight can be an alternative to support PLN's electricity source as the main power supply of Tower R.67 of Mount Gending. The alternative of utilizing the solar power plant (PLTS) is chosen due to avoid technical error with the generator set which run continuously. Additionally, the writer compiled the PLTS and PLN design by calculating the energy consumed in 1 h or its peak load as the first step which then followed by calculating the needs for batteries, solar panels and inverters. Meanwhile, the generator set can only be turned off for a maximum of 2 h, thus the total peak load is 3811.5Wh and is multiplied by 2, which is 7623Wh. Moreover, 7 batteries, 17 pieces of solar panels, and inverter with 8Kw output are required to perform this calculation.
