DESAIN MAXIMUM POWER POINT TRACKING (MPPT) PADA PEMBANGKIT LISTRIK TENAGA BAYU (PLTB) MENGGUNAKAN METODE PROPORSIONAL INTEGRAL (PI) DENGAN SQUARREL CAGE INDUCTION GENERATOR (SCIG)
Along with technological advances and an increase in population, the need for electrical energy will also increase. As a result the electrical load will also increase. With an increase in electricity load, the supply of electricity to consumers is also affected. As a result, if the electricity supply increases, the output power issued by the generator will also increase. One of the efforts to increase the supply of electrical energy is to utilize wind energy using a Squirrel-Cage Induction Generator (SCIG). The Squirrel-Cage Induction Generator (SCIG) produces active power but requires reactive power to produce the excitation current. Number of poles 2 or 3, synchronous speed 1000 to 1500 rpm, and requires a three-stage gearbox. The problem with the generator is that the power it produces is less than optimal. One of the efforts to produce optimal electrical power is using MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking). The control used in this study was the PI control. The PI method is a method that is often used in control systems. In the results of the simulation experiments conducted, it was found that using MPPT PI is better than not using MPPT PI. The greatest power is generated when the wind speed is 8 m/s with a power of 3357 Watt.
