Analysis Development of Public Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Using On-Grid Solar Power Plants in Indonesia

Indonesia, abundant in solar energy, poses significant potential for harnessing this renewable resource for electricity generation. This study investigates the feasibility of employing photovoltaic (PV) modules, powered by solar energy, for electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in Surakarta, Yogyakarta, Semarang, Surabaya, and Malang. Utilizing the Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewable (HOMER) software, simulations were conducted to assess on-grid Solar Power Plants (PLTS) systems that leverage both PV modules and grid power. This research enhances existing studies on solar energy potential in Indonesia, emphasizing profitable renewable energy business models. Economic evaluations were conducted based on the Net Present Cost (NPC) and the Cost of Energy (COE), integral metrics for determining investment feasibility. Preliminary capital for PLTS development was estimated at Rp 5,399,387,501.00. Results indicate Semarang City as the most promising location for a PLTS system with an NPC value of Rp 23,243,190,000.00 and a COE value of Rp 1,108.11. The designed PLTS system in Semarang City is projected to generate 982.090 kWh/year of electricity, with estimated consumption at 922.467 kWh/year. This study offers novel insights into the potential of solar-powered EV charging stations in Indonesia.
