Optimization of Rooftop Area on Building K Faculty of Engineering Universitas Indonesia for Grid-Connected PV

Abstract

Abstract This study aims to design and assess the simulation of the On-Grid PV System that will be implemented in Building K at the Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Indonesia (FTUI), Depok, West Java. In addition, this research is also to find out the amount of energy potential and issued by the 66 kW PLTS On-Grid design and its energy saving value. On-Grid PV System was designed and simulated by PVsyst and the results were analyzed. Load profile data from Building K FTUI are used. The simulation shows that the energy produced by PV is 97,889 MWh per year, the performance ratio is 82% with the contribution rate to Building K is 23.79% in a year, and the reduction in energy consumption from utilities is 19.48% during workdays and 49.01% during the weekend.
