Abstract

Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh kebutuhan untuk mengoptimalkan kinerja sistem Pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Surya (PLTS) Terapung Cirata melalui penerapan strategi pelacakan matahari (solar tracking). Sistem fotovoltaik terapung (floating photovoltaic / FPV) memiliki potensi efisiensi yang tinggi karena efek pendinginan alami oleh air, dan potensi ini dapat ditingkatkan lebih lanjut dengan strategi pelacakan yang tepat. Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi dan membandingkan potensi peningkatan produksi energi dari tiga konfigurasi pelacakan matahari, yaitu single-axis tracking system, dual-axis tracking system, dan island tracking system, terhadap sistem tanpa pelacakan matahari (tanpa tracking system). Simulasi dilakukan dengan empat konfigurasi sistem: tanpa tracking system (kemiringan panel 5° & azimuth platform 0°), single-axis tracking system (rotasi panel phi dari -5,3° hingga 5,3°), dual-axis tracking system (kemiringan panel 5°–15°, azimuth panel -20° dan 20°), dan island tracking system (azimuth platform -30° dan 30°). Validasi hasil simulasi dilakukan pada konfigurasi tanpa tracking system dengan mengukur tingkat korelasi hasil simulasi dengan produksi data aktual tahun 2024, yang menunjukkan korelasi produksi energi bulanan sebesar 96,98% antara hasil simulasi dan data aktual tahun 2024. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa konfigurasi single-axis tracking system memberikan peningkatan produksi energi tertinggi sebesar 2,4%, diikuti dual-axis tracking system sebesar 2,2%, dan island tracking system sebesar 1,4% dibandingkan dengan konfigurasi tanpa tracking system. Sehingga disarankan penerapan tracking system yang paling optimal untuk PLTS Terapung Cirata adalah single-axis tracking system.

This research is motivated by the need to optimize the performance of the Cirata Floating Solar Power Plant through the implementation of solar tracking strategies. Floating photovoltaic (FPV) systems have high efficiency potential due to the natural cooling effect of water, and this potential can be further enhanced with the application of appropriate tracking strategies. This study aims to evaluate and compare the potential energy production improvements from three solar tracking configurations, namely single-axis tracking systems, dual-axis tracking systems, and island tracking systems, against a system without solar tracking (fixed system). Simulations were conducted using four system configurations: a fixed system (panel tilt of 5° and platform azimuth of 0°), a single-axis tracking system (panel rotation angle phi from -5.3° to 5.3°), a dual-axis tracking system (panel tilt of 5°–15°, panel azimuth of -20° and 20°), and an island tracking system (platform azimuth of -30° and 30°). Validation of the simulation results was performed on the fixed system configuration by measuring the correlation between the simulation results and actual energy production data for the year 2024, which showed a monthly energy production correlation of 96.98% between the simulation results and the actual data. The analysis results indicate that the single-axis tracking configuration provides the highest energy production increase of 2.4%, followed by the dual-axis tracking system at 2.2%, and the island tracking system at 1.4% compared to the fixed system. Therefore, the most optimal tracking system recommended for the Cirata Floating Solar Power Plant is the single-axis tracking system.
