Abstract

At PPI Madiun, the power supply system to operate the level crossing doorstop is currently still dependent on electricity from PLN. However, to reduce dependence on electrical energy from PLN as recommended by the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) and the Director of PPI Madiun, the abundant potential of renewable energy in Indonesia can be utilized. The potential for sunlight in Madiun reaches 5,446 kWh/m2/day. Therefore, it is proposed to use an On-Grid solar power plant (PLTS) with a certain configuration connected in series. The system uses a 5.5 kWh Inverter to convert DC electricity into AC. LEONI 4mm (100m) and AWG (50m) type cables connect the components. A 230 Vac ATS with 2 sources manages the power supply, and a converter is required to convert AC loads to DC (230 Vac capacity to 24 Vdc). The solar panel installation area is 15.6 m2. Simulation results with Homer Pro show the On-Grid Solar PV design is capable of generating 4,778 kWh/year, exceeding the daily requirement of 4,776 kWh for doorstop operation. The total cost for the implementation of On-Grid Solar Power at level crossing PPI Madiun is Rp.103,808,213. With the adoption of this system, PPI Madiun can reduce dependence on PLN and switch to renewable energy that is more environmentally friendly.
