Dr. Taufik received his B.S. in Electrical Engineering with minor in Computer Science from Northern Arizona University in 1993, M.S. in Electrical Engineering from University of Illinois, Chicago in 1995, and Doctor of Engineering in Electrical Engineering from Cleveland State University in 1999.
As photovoltaics (PV) has become an increasingly prominent renewable energy source, utility companies around the world have aggressively been installing PV farms to help meet the growing demand of electricity. Despite the obvious benefit of abundance of energy from the sun, PVs pose some technical challenges when connected to the electric power grid. One issue relates to the unavailability of the sun’s energy during nighttime. This causes one critical problem known as the Duck Curve. One method to alleviate this problem is through placements of energy storage. In recent years, many of these two complementary equipment (PV and energy storage) have been installed and operating within electric power grids around the globe. This paper presents a student project to evaluate the performance of a Green Seaport in Indonesia. This is a pilot project where the current electrical system of the seaport will be updated to incorporate both PV and energy storage systems. The project is sponsored by the Ministry of Transportation of Republic of Indonesia and two students are currently participating in the project. The primary goals, tasks, and milestones of the project along with the expected deliverables will be described in this paper. Results from this project and future plans for follow up projects will also be discussed in this paper.
