Analisis studi kelayakan teknis dalam instalasi pembangkit listrik tenaga bayu sebagai energi berkelanjutan untuk penerangan di area dermaga pelabuhan soekarno hatta makassar

Abstract

This research is motivated by the high demand for electricity in the port sector to support 24-hour operations, as well as the dominant reliance on fossil energy which impacts carbon emissions and operational costs. This study aims to analyze the technical feasibility of implementing a Wind Power Plant (PLTB) as an environmentally friendly alternative sustainable energy source in the pier area of Soekarno-Hatta Port, Makassar. The research methodology employs a qualitative approach with secondary data analysis regarding wind speed potential, turbine characteristics, and SWOT analysis. The results indicate that the wind speed in the port's coastal area ranges from 2–3 m/s, which is technically feasible for micro-scale PLTB to support the pier lighting system. The most suitable type of turbine is the Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) due to its ability to operate optimally at low wind speeds. The main recommendation is to develop a pilot project integrated with the "green port" concept and a hybrid system to ensure a stable supply of sustainable energy.
