SISTEM AUTOMATIC TRANSFER SWITCH (ATS) PADA PENGISIAN BATERAI DENGAN SUMBER KOMBINASI PANEL SURYA DAN LISTRIK PLN

Abstract

Electrical energy is a necessity for individuals, households, and industries. Along with the increase in population and technological development, the need for electrical energy consumption increases. PLN is not always able to provide electricity continuously, so a backup power plant is needed to ensure continuity of electricity supply. To overcome this problem and reduce the use of fossil energy, alternative power plants based on new renewable energy (EBT) were developed. One example is the Solar Power Plant (PLTS) which utilizes abundant solar energy and does not produce harmful emissions. Optimization of this combination can be done with an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) system that automatically moves the connection between power sources. In the Automatic Transfer Switch system that can be programmed to switch between resources from PLTS and PLN timer to set the ATS operating time, in this ATS system the required components are timer and LDR. The timer will be used to set the ATS operating time, specifically to limit the use of solar panels to a certain time range. The LDR sensor is used to change the battery charging.
