Abstract

Fulfilling the need for energy is still heavily dependent on fossil fuels. Meanwhile, our fossil energy reserves are declining. On the other hand, Indonesia's electrification ratio is still at 80.4%. The lowest electrification ratio is in East Nusa Tenggara (54.77%) and Papua (36.41%). Low electrification ratios mostly occur in remote areas as well as small islands. Inadequate infrastructure and also the high cost of building transmission lines to remote areas as well as small islands are the main obstacles. One of the efforts made to overcome the electricity crisis is to utilize Renewable energy resources (Renewable energy resources). This study discusses the study of the utilization of Kaliandra wood pellets as fuel for the power plant. Research methodology is done by analyzing the results of lab tests conducted at PT. Sucofindo to Kaliandra Pellet samples. The research was conducted by calculating Low Heat Value of Kaliandra pellets. The results shows that 1 kg of Kaliandra pellet produces 5,477 kWh with the price of Rp. 744, 24 / kWh so it is possible to be used as fuel for the steam power plant for small scale.
