URI trailer PLN, Perform Studies PLTB Sidrap

(Jakarta, 24/10) Plan of UPC Renewables Indonesia (URI), investors from the United States, with PT Binatek Renewable Energy, to build a power plant Bayu (coal-fired plant) in South Sulawesi Sidrap will soon be realized. Because, after obtaining approval from the local government, the URI immediately took PLN to conduct a study related to the utilization of wind energy. This is reflected in a memorandum of understanding between the PLN and the URI of the implementation of the feasibility study and analysis of the stability of the system in order to utilize wind energy for power generation Sidrap.

The memorandum of understanding signed by the Director of PLN, Nur Pamudji (left) and Director of URI, Christopher A Caffyn (middle), and President of the Renewable Energy Binatek, Erwin Jahja (right), at PLN Head Office, Jakarta, Thursday, October 24, 2013 surrounding the implementation of the feasibility study of wind energy utilization in South Sulawesi for the sake of national electricity, as well as make the stability analysis of power systems consisting of predictions continuity of electricity supply energu Sidrap Wind Farm, fluctuations in frequency and voltage, power quality, system stability analysis, readiness plant load follower, the operational characteristics of the system, and actions to be taken in the event of a system disruption or plant tissue. According to the Head of Renewable Energy Division at PLN, Muhammad Sofyan, URI plans to build a 70-megawatt PLT Bayu-Sidrap in South Sulawesi. "Given the electrical load is still low in Sulawesi, PLT Bayu 70 MW to be built URI must be passed prior studies, especially how it impacts the stability of the electrical system there. Moreover, the wind speed in Indonesia is relatively low, ie below six meters per detik.Kajian is fully financed them. PLN would be interested in buying the electricity generated the PLT Bayu, if the price is economical and the results of the study will not interfere with the electrical system of PLN, "said Sofyan. Meanwhile, President Director of Renewable Energy Binatek, Erwin Jahja, said the wind potential in Sidrap pretty good. "We will develop a shared URI PLT Bayu in Indonesia. Currently, we are building PLT-Samas Bayu in Yogyakarta. If the study is good, we will build on Sidrap, we are optimistic that this project will be successful, "he said. As well as coal-fired plant Samas in Yogyakarta, a joint venture with Binatek URI Renewable Energy, will build at least 28 units windmill with an average height of 100 meters in Sidrap. Each wind turbine is projected to produce 2.5 megawatts. Later, the electricity generated will be supplied to meet the needs of electricity.
