Abstract
The increasing demand for electricity has led to a greater consideration of renewable energy sources, and the unlimited potential of the electricity generated has prompted many to adopt these sustainable energy options. One of the renewable energy sources that can be utilized in Indonesia is harnessing solar energy, which is an infinite and sustainable resource. One application of this Solar Power Plant is for the electrical resources of water pumps and blowers in the salt drying process. This solar power system operates using an off-grid system, meaning it is not connected to the PLN electricity grid. Solar panels harness sunlight from sunrise to sunset to generate electrical energy, which is then stored in batteries (accu). The stored energy is subsequently used to supply power to the load. To prolong the battery life, a controller is used to limit the voltage and current entering or leaving the battery. In addition to storing energy from the panels, the batteries are also used to stabilize the voltage and current for the water pump and blower. The equipment in the salt drying process requires a power supply to operate optimally, including devices such as water pumps and blowers. The water pump needs to operate for at least 8 hours for water tank filling, and the blower needs to operate for 12-14 days to expedite the salt drying process. Therefore, it is necessary to test the voltage, current, and actual power consumption of the salt drying load to estimate the number of solar panels and batteries needed to power the load. Based on testing 10 units of 60 Wp solar panels arranged in 2 series and 5 parallel configurations for 7 consecutive days, the average voltage obtained was 30-31 volts and the current was 2 amperes. According to the analysis and calculations performed, the salt drying equipment can operate 24 hours/day even in cloudy weather, requiring at least 13 panels (totaling 7800 Wp) and 6 batteries with a capacity of 1200 watt.
