The Indo EBTKE Conference and Exhibition (ConEx) 2023 held on July 12-14, 2023, at ICE BSD, Tangerang Selatan, Banten, was a resounding success. This event represented a significant endeavor to enhance support, utilization, and serve as a platform for all stakeholders, ensuring a seamless energy transition.
This year's Indo EBTKE ConEx carried the theme "From Commitment to Action: Safeguarding Energy Transition Towards Indonesia Net Zero Emission 2060." The aim was to generate productive discussions and outcomes, converting commitments into actionable steps. The focus was particularly on Indonesia's commitment and efforts in developing and utilizing clean and sustainable energy through energy transition towards Net Zero Emission (NZE) by 2060.
New Zealand-Maluku Access to Renewable Energy Support (NZMATES) actively participated in Indo EBTKE ConEx 2023 on Wednesday (July 12, 2023), conducting a training session on "Feasibility Study of PV-DG Hybrid Power System." The training covered four aspects, including technical, financial & commercial, and HOMER Pro.
The training was attended by professionals such as PLN staff, ESDM, EBTKE, representatives from the private sector, academics, and students with an interest in renewable energy. NZMATES brought in expert speakers in the field, including Mansoor Shah, Senior Energy Engineer at INFRATEC, Vasco Tangkulung, Technical Manager at NZMATES, and Maharani Sarah Holle, Renewable Energy Technical Officer at NZMATES. The aim is for this training to provide a comprehensive understanding of hybrid systems that combine renewable energy sources like solar panels (PV) with conventional energy from diesel generators. Moreover, it aims to equip participants with the skills and knowledge to evaluate technical and economic aspects, particularly in the planning and implementation of efficient and sustainable PV-Diesel hybrid systems.
Out of the 72 participants, the average feedback indicated their high interest in the presented material. Participants particularly appreciated the explanations on field technicalities, the analysis of hybrid solar power feasibility, and the significance of integrating new renewable energy for the future of the environmental ecosystem. Indonesia's renewable energy sources were highlighted as essential resources that can be optimally harnessed not only in urban areas but also in remote regions.
