Looking at the Bayu Power Plant as a Renewable Energy in South Sulawesi
Electricity is one of the most important components in today’s technological developments. Dependence on the availability of electric power is increasing day by day. The development of the population in an area is directly proportional to the need for electrical energy in that area, but it is inversely proportional to the supply of electric energy. Increasingly, the reserves of renewable energy sources that have been the main fuel for Indonesian generators are running low. One alternative energy that is now being looked at by the government is wind power or what is more commonly called wind power. From the results of studies that have been conducted, it shows that wind speeds in some eastern regions have the potential to generate electricity. The PLTB Bayu Power Plant built in Turatea Subdistrict, Jeneponto Regency has a capacity of 72 MW consisting of 20 Siemens SWT-3.6-130 wind turbines with a capacity of 6.3 MW each. With 60 propellers of the sovanius three blade upwind type, it has a rotor facing the direction of the wind with a length of 63 meters and a tower height of 135. This PLTB is connected to a 150 KV transmission network through the Jeneponto substation. The presence of the PLTB Bayu Power Plant can increase the available power capacity stock in the South, Southeast and West Sulawesi regions. Currently, the peak load in South Sulawesi is 1,050 MW, while the available electricity can supply up to 1,300 MW. For electrification or areas with electricity, in the Sulseltrabar region it has reached 97%. Slightly above the current national electrification ratio, which is approximately 96%. With a surplus of electrical power, it is hoped that it can improve the economy of the surrounding community. Photo: SINDO Muchtamir Zaide ddk
