Analysis of Hydroelectric Power Plants in East Kalimantan, Indonesia

This study aims to determine the amount of potential renewable energy sources of hydroelectric power plants that have been used to meet the electrical energy needs in East Kalimantan at this time, the amount of potential renewable energy sources of hydroelectric power plants that have not been used for electrical energy needs in East Kalimantan at this time, and the planning of electrical energy to provide electrical energy in the province of East Kalimantan in order to In this study, energy supply and demand in the province of East Kalimantan were analyzed using LEAP (Long-range Energy Alternative Planning system) models. Analyze the energy supply and demand over the next thirteen years using 2012 as the starting point. The linear regression methodology used to project energy demand interpolates historical data, activity, and energy intensity. According to the study's findings, just 1,509 MW of the province of East Kalimantan's potential hydropower sources—6976.14 MW—have been used up to this point. In 2025, the population is expected to rise by 6,167,359 people, increasing the demand for electricity from 17,546,970 MWh to 20,643,495 MWh. According to the national energy management's blueprint for the goal composition of the energy mix, hydropower capacity in 2025 would have been 23,961,414 MWh or 55.56% of the overall producing capacity of 43,129,583 MWh.This study aims to determine ; (1) To determine the amount of potential renewable energy sources of hydroelectric power plants to meet the electrical energy in East Kalimantan at this time , (2) To determine the amount of potential renewable energy sources of hydroelectric power plants that has been used for electrical energy needs in East Kalimantan at the moment , (3) to determine the planning of electrical energy for the purposes of providing electrical energy in the province of East Kalimantan in order to develop the local capacity to implement regional autonomy in the area of ??electrical energy. In this research, the analysis of demand planning and supply of energy in the province of East Kalimantan using models LEAP (Long -range Energy Alternative Planning system) version 2012. Analyze the demand and supply of energy carried over into the next thirteen years with 2012 as the base year. Energy demand projections made ??by linear regression analysis interpoles historical data as well as activity and energy intensity. The results of this study indicate that the province of East Kalimantan has potential sources of hydropower plants amounted to 6976.14 MW and only 1,509 MW has been exploited until now. 2025 the population is projected to increase by 6,167,359 souls to the needs of 17,546,970 MWh of electrical energy, while the power generation capacity of 20,643,495 MWh. If viewed from the target composition of the energy mix (energy mix) Blueprint in the national energy management, the hydropower capacity in 2025 reached 23,961,414 MWh, or 55.56 % of the total generating capacity of 43,129,583 MWh. &nbsp
