Abstract

This research will discuss regarding the design of implementing Solar Power Plants (PLTS) through technical analysis with two systems, namely, the On-Grid system and the Off-Grid system. In addition, it will discuss economic analysis using the Net Present Value (NPV), Profitability Index/Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR) and Payback Period (PP) methods. Mulawarman University which is one of the universities in Indonesia Samarinda City, East Kalimantan. The population in the city of Samarinda is also not less than other big cities. So that Samarinda has a high level of electricity demand as well. Besides that, the power plants in Samarinda still rely on fossil fuel generators such as oil and coal. Likewise, the source of electrical energy at Mulawarman University obtained from PLN and does not yet have an alternative source of electrical energy that is friendly to the environment, including the Faculty of Engineering Building. One of the potential power plants that can be used/applied by Mulawarman University is PLTS which converts electromagnetic energy from sunlight into electrical energy.432.4 kW. The data will be analysed further, so that the data the results of this study are data in the form of a description of the components of the PLTS On-Grid system and the PLTS Off-Grid system, a description of the feasibility of investing in the use of PLTS On-Grid and the PLTS Off-Grid system using economic analysis with the NPV, BCR and PP methods as well as comparisons. Calculation results from technical analysis and economic analysis of the two PLTS systems in the new lecture building of the Faculty of Engineering, Mulawarman University.
