Pandansimo Hybrid Power Plant

This article was posted on http://www.kaskus.co.id/showthread.php?t=8436411 in 2011 . Do you know about hybrid power plant?

Hybrid Power Plant is  a power plant that use more than 1 type of generator (not stand alone).
The hybrid unit contains two or more complete generating plants. The hybrid power plant is a complete electrical power supply system that can be easily configured to meet a broad range of remote power needs. There are three basic elements to the system - the power source, the battery, and the power management center. The power sources are a wind turbine, diesel engine generator, or solar cell. The battery allows autonomous operation by compensating for the difference between power production and use. The power management center regulates power production from each of the sources, controls power use by classifying loads, and protects the battery from service extremes.

This is a media publication about hybrid power generation in Yogyakarta.

YOGYAKARTA - Ministry of Research and Technology and Universitas Gadjah Mada made Bantul regency as a pilot project in hybrid energy technology based on its potential of solar thermal and wind power. The area for new and renewable energy development is Pandansimo beach in Srandakan covering 37 Ha sandy area.

Ir. Santosa Yudo Warsono, MT, Deputy Assistant for Small and Medium Industries Technology to Minister of Research and Technology, said the first hybrid energy development in Indonesia has now entered its third year. Therefore, this year's program is more focused on the development of production techniques and component production capacity and improved capability of SMEs and economic empowerment of coastal communities.

Currently, the use of hybrid power plant is for coastal resorts lighting, operational training, workshop on renewable energy development and implementation model of regional innovation system. Although still being developed, hybrid power is tested for farming in sandy land that requires extra high water. "We use to elevate the water to the surface," Santosa said during a visit to the location n Srandakan on Friday (6/4).

Currently, some 35 wind turbine units of hybrid energy power stations have been installed with an average height of 18 meters, consisting of 26 wind turbines with a capacity of 1 kW, 2.5 kW, 10 kW, and 50 kW. As many as 175 units of solar cells are also added with capacity of 17.5 kWp.

Renewable energy researcher from Faculty of Engineering UGM, Dr. Ahmad Agus Setiawan, confirmed the hybrid power plant is very potential to be developed in Indonesia as an archipelagic nation. Therefore, it could be alternative energy for electricity supply. "Interconnection is not fully capable to provide electricity between islands, let alone our country has many small islands," the professor of physics engineering said.

Based on Agus’ research, wind speed in Indonesia is not as high in countries such as the Netherlands which has been using windmills energy. Wind speed at Pandasimo beach ranges between 3-5 meters per second. Therefore, it needs to be combined with a low speed generator and solar thermal energy. "The solution would be a lot of windmills," he added. According to Agus, the program is in line with the government's desire to support 1000 windmills program throughout Indonesia.

Head of Regional Development Planning Board of Bantul, Drs. Tri Saktiana, MS, expected the hybrid technology would easily be applied, maintained and used so as to improve the welfare of society. "The 13.5 Km-long beach of Bantul can be used optimally for the community. The community aspires for real goals, namely promoting business and agriculture through technology," he said.

Met separately, Dalijo (45), a farmer who owns land around the beach, claimed getting the benefits of the hybrid power plant. The plant can be utilized for watering the farmland and fish pond business. "Since there are windmills, we are able to cultivate farming on sandy land," he said.

LAPAN Build 48 Windmills in Pandansimo Beach

Coastal Bantul was selected as the location of the windmill, precisely in Pandansimo Beach, Srandakan Bantul regency, Yogyakarta. Windmill as much as 48 fruits that are targeted for completion in December 2010.

In addition to providing alternative energy, windmill construction is expected to attract more young people in Bantul for technological literacy. 

“They, especially for school children, will be more motivated to learn the benefits of technology can be applied to the advancement of regional development in Bantul district,” said Professor Samsa heads a team from the Ministry of Research and Technology (Research and Technology), in den Regent of Bantul, Yogyakarta, Friday (08/27/2010). Samsa reveal this to the Regent of Bantul Hj. Sri Suryawidati accompanied by a team from the Indonesian Islamic University (UII). 

According Samsa, Bantul chosen as the location for the application of coastal-based wind turbine technology is expected to attract more school children for generations and prefer to learn the technology. Bantul so that later will be able to print more experts in the field of technology which can give greater benefits to improve people’s welfare. 

“We hope Bantul would be able to print more experts in the field of technology,” he said. 

Application of this technology, Samsa said, is expected to also be able to encourage the community to develop productive enterprises. The plan is every tourist areas will be equipped with technology that complemented the corner all the ins and outs, so it will attract tourists to learn more technology.

“It will also be the potential for tourism, in addition to existing tours at sea,” he explained 

Bantul Regent Hj. Sri Suryawidati in his remarks convey his gratitude to the team, especially from the Ministry of Research and Technology who have given their belief that the Bantul area a site of technological development that is needed by this wider community.

“This is certainly going to be more complete because of Bantul, Bantul now included as one of the recipients of science and technology in 2010 grace the national level,” he said 

During the visit one of the team also said that the current location of Bantul is projected to become earthquake-resistant construction of a model home located in the subdistrict Pandak. Model homes can be built with the former building materials are very cheap cost approximately Rp1 million per square meter. This plan will also be disseminated prior to the builder as Bantul.
