This project aims to address Indonesia's critical energy challenges by leveraging a smart grid system integrated with IoT, predictive analytics, and renewable energy sources. The proposed solution optimizes energy production and distribution, enhances efficiency, and supports Indonesia's sustainability goals.
-
High Dependency on Fossil Fuels
Indonesia remains heavily reliant on fossil fuels, which account for a significant proportion of its energy generation. Transitioning to renewable energy sources is critical to reduce CO2 emissions and meet global sustainability goals. -
Geographical Complexity
Indonesia's archipelagic geography, with over 17,000 islands, makes centralized energy distribution difficult. This system's use of decentralized smart grids allows energy management tailored to local needs. -
Energy Access Disparity
Many rural areas face energy access issues. The system can improve equitable energy distribution by predicting and optimizing renewable energy use.
-
Solar, Marine, and Geothermal Resources
Indonesia has immense potential for renewable energy generation. For example:- High solar irradiance in many regions.
- Extensive coastline suitable for marine energy harnessing.
- Rich geothermal resources due to its volcanic activity.
-
Optimized Utilization
This system maximizes the use of these resources by integrating weather and energy data to automate decisions about energy source utilization.
-
Cost Reduction
By optimizing energy production and distribution, the system reduces costs for both producers and consumers. Users can receive recommendations for energy use based on real-time data. -
Export Opportunities
The system manages surplus energy, exporting it to neighboring countries and generating economic returns. -
Emission Reductions
Switching to renewable energy minimizes reliance on fossil fuels, cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
-
IoT and Smart Grid Integration
Leveraging IoT and smart grids enhances Indonesia's energy infrastructure's technological sophistication, aligning it with modern global practices. -
Predictive Analytics and Automation
The system enables proactive energy management, improving efficiency and dependability.
Indonesia has set ambitious renewable energy targets, aiming to achieve:
- 23% renewable energy in the energy mix by 2025.
- Carbon neutrality by 2060.
This system directly supports these objectives by promoting scalable and sustainable energy solutions. By addressing these critical energy challenges and leveraging Indonesia's natural advantages, this system fosters a sustainable energy future while contributing to economic growth, environmental preservation, and technological innovation.
