Perencanaan Sistem Penerangan Jalan Umum Berbasis Solar Cell Terpusat Pada Universitas Halu Oleo

Abstract

 Public street lighting is a critical aspect in creating a safe and sustainable campus environment. The use of solar cell-based Public Street Lighting (PJU) is very important in the context of sustainability, energy efficiency, and environmental protection. Existing public street lighting at Halu Oleo University still utilizes lighting with solar cells and other components installed on each pole so that solar panels and batteries tend to be the target of theft in some areas. In addition, vandalism or damage due to bad weather can also be a problem that requires additional costs for repair and replacement. Street lighting at Halu Oleo University is a vital element in supporting safety, mobility, and comfort in student and community activities. However, the existing street lighting system is still minimal and the need for equalization on existing roads at Halu Oleo University. In response to this challenge, the use of solar cells or solar panels is the best solution compared to traditional public street lighting that relies on conventional energy sources. In this context, the configuration of a centralized solar cell-based public street lighting system emerges as a promising alternative, which can reduce environmental impact, increase energy efficiency, and reduce long-term operational costs. Based on the results of the research that has been done, along the road at Halu Oleo University, 171 PJUTS are needed with each pole 40 meters apart with the height of each pole is 7 meters. Each PJUTS pole consists of a 50 Watt and 100 Watt LED lamp, using solar panels with a capacity of 450 Wp mono-crystalline type, batteries with a capacity of 200 Ah, and MPPT type SCC with a current capacity of 60 A
