Abstract

The use of wind as the main energy in power plants cannot be separated from the ability of windmills to produce energy to meet needs. Based on a literature study, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources 2018 released data related to the total potential of wind power in Banten Province of 300 MW spread across two areas, namely Lebak Regency and Pandeglang Regency with the potential in each area of 150 MW, thus it is necessary to conduct a spatial study related to the appropriate location for the construction of a new wind farm. Topographic factors (elevation, viewshed, slope, aspect direction, and area), technical (wind speed and power grid proximity), environmental (distance from lakes, rivers, reservoirs, dams, and land cover), and socioeconomic (settlement and transportation) are parameters that determine the success and potential of placing windmills as environmentally friendly renewable energy. This study aimed to determine the potential for wind farm development areas in Pandeglang Regency, Banten Province. The method used to analyze these parameters is the Multi-Weighted Criteria Modeler, by giving weight to each parameter in raster format and classified using the deterministic logic method and selecting areas with a large area coverage (≥ 10,000 m²) using boolean. The results of this study indicate that there is an area of 350.71 km² that is suitable for the construction of a new wind farm in Pandeglang Regency. The final suitability map can be used as a guide for more detailed wind farm location exploration. This study concludes that Indonesia has great potential for the development of Wind Power Plants, especially in Pandeglang Regency. However, a wider research area coverage is needed to find out which areas have the potential for the development of Wind Power Plants in Indonesia.
