ABSTRACT

Pioneer ship are ships made to connect harbors that are not yet economically and viable. In daily operation, ships depend heavily on the use of fuel oil to run main engines, generators, emergency generators, etc. Fuel consumption is high while the operational of pioneer ship is not yet economically and viable. This paper proposes the utilization of solar panel and wind turbine as an alternatives energy to fulfil the need of lighting in roro ferry 2000 GT. This research clearly shows that the solar panels and wind turbines obtained are 55.68 KW and 17.48 KW total power respectively. In terms of economics, the utilization of solar panels and wind turbines save fuel consumption in 2000 GT roro ferry as much as 17.53% per year. The economic feasibility analysis is conducted by considering operational, and maintenance costs of the conventional system and hybrid system. It is clearly shown that the break-even point value is obtained after 3 years and 10 months after operation of system.
