Designing a Waste Power Plant (PLTSA) Prototype Based on the Type of Waste as a Renewable Energy Source

Abstract

Renewable electricity from waste is one of the solution to overcome the problem of the energy crisis of fossil fuels and solutions to reduce the increasing waste population in Indonesia. The abundance of rubbish in Indonesia with the existence of Waste plant can produce enough electricity and can also reduce the problem in Indonesia itself, namely the lack of electricity in some regions. In this journal, we make a prototype of a waste power plant (PLTSa) using the incinerator method or what can be called combustion. The initial step to do is collecting reference data in the form of journals. Then the PLTSa prototype was assembled, and finally the prototype was tested. Based on the results of the prototype test conducted by comparison of different types of waste, namely used wood, dry leaves, and paper with a load of one LED. Obtained an average power of 0.1763 watts. From prototype testing that we have done, it can be concluded that the type of used wood waste that produces greater power.
