Abstract

Gaplek is a processed product of cassava that requires a drying process to remove the water content in cassava. Solar thermal energy can be used for the drying process of gaplek by using a greenhouse effect drying system. However, the greenhouse effect drying system using solar thermal energy is very dependent on weather conditions and temperature that is difficult to control. Therefore, a temperature control system is proposed in this study by utilizing Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) to control the exhaust fan speed. Thus, the temperature can be maintained according to the drying standard of processed cassava products. In this study, a temperature control system has been successfully created that is able to maintain the temperature in the drying room according to the drying standard, namely at a temperature of 50℃ to 60℃ when tested in three different locations, namely, Sukamaju Village, Kaligunting Village, and Sumberejo Village which have shown optimal drying temperature.

Abstract

This study discusses efforts to model solar grid systems by considering economic and regulatory factors in system design. The Hybrid Optimization of Multiple Electric Renewables software is used to evaluate the economic viability of the on-grid PV technology that provides 2200VA of power in the household sector. Optimal costs are assessed from Net Present Cost (NPC) which is a cost analysis to determine investment feasibility based on interest rates and fees in the coming years and Break Even Point (BEP) which is the point where expenditure and income are balanced. The simulation results show that in the project period of 25 years the installation of on grid PV power system has an NPC that is 20% lower than the PLN network power supply with a BEP value lower than 15 years. The lowest NPC and BEP values were obtained from the installation of 7 PV panels with 300Wp capacity connected to the PLN network. This system is able to save electricity costs by IDR 23,060,260 compared to the use of 100% electricity from the State Electricity Enterprise grid. This system is worthy of being an economic tool for providing electricity services throughout the year and meeting rising energy demands in the household sector.
