PLTS Installation And Maintenance Training For Lighting In The Situ Tunggilis Tourism Area

Abstract

Situ Tunggilis is a lake located in Kampung Tunggilis, Situsari Village, Cileungsi District, Bogor Regency. This area is being developed through tourism development, both natural tourism and cultural tourism. The development of this area has a positive impact on business fields such as the existence of food stalls, gift & souvenir shops, and play facilities. The management of food stalls and shops is carried out through a cooperation partner scheme with Village Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) as managers of the Tunggilis tourist area. With the development of the tourist area, area managers must pay attention to comfort and safety for tourists, so it is very necessary to manage pre-facilities and supporting facilities optimally and according to standards. Based on observations at the location, there are several issues that partners need to pay attention to, namely First: Public Street Lighting (PJU) in tourist areas that have not been optimally developed, as an alternative to electricity supply from PLN, it is necessary to use Renewable Energy (solar energy) with Power Plants Solar Energy (PLTS). Second: There are Karang Taruna assisted by BUMDES who are still lacking in skills regarding PLTS, so training is needed to increase expertise in installation, operation and maintenance. This training method provides basic PV mini-grid materials in presentations and hands-on practice to participants regarding work systems, component functions, installation, testing, measurement, operation and maintenance. The results of the training are increasing understanding of safe PLTS installation and maintenance according to standards.
