Abstract

Energy generation by conventional energy has been an issue in many countries due to more demands and less supply and getting lesser by the years. This condition urges all the countries in the world to search for other alternatives of energy generation and the desired one is the one with unlimited sources. This unlimited source or self-renewable is called renewable energy. PT. Pertamina (Persero) RU-III Plaju as a state-owned enterprise is committed taking the active role in supporting the government in the campaign of using renewable energy in generating electricity. PT. Pertamina (Persero) RU-III Plaju installed a 3 x 3000 WP PV system to supply the managerial building, and this PV system is considered a research device to develop the possibility of substituting the conventional energy with renewable energy. This paper discussed the performance comparison of the fixed panel and solar-tracking solar panel application for the PV system in PT. Pertamina (Persero) RU-III Plaju. The performance analysis is including final yield, reference yield and performance ratio. Experiment results show that the fixed panel has more energy production with the average percentage of final yield is 3.3% and capacity factor is 13.6%, while the PV panels with solar-tracker have the average final yield of 2.3% and capacity factor of 9.6%. Therefore, this study shows that the application of solar-tracker is not necessary for PV panels in Palembang, due to the average maximal power achieved from 11 AM to 02 PM every day.
