Industrial Electrical Engineering Program of UNDIP Collaborates with Pertamina

The Industrial Electrical Engineering Program, Vocational School of Universitas Diponegoro (UNDIP), conducted an official visit to Tuban to sign a cooperation agreement with PT Pertamina (Persero). This initiative aims to support the development of energy efficiency and the planning of renewable energy (EBT) implementation in the Pantai Panduri area.

During the visit, the UNDIP delegation, consisting of faculty members and leaders of the Industrial Electrical Engineering Program, was warmly welcomed by Pertamina Tuban’s management team. Both parties discussed potential collaboration in developing environmentally friendly electrical technologies and optimizing renewable energy resources in coastal areas.

Panduri beach was chosen as the pilot project location due to its significant potential for renewable energy development, including solar and wind power. Through the agreement, the Industrial Electrical Engineering Program of UNDIP Vocational School and Pertamina committed to jointly conducting research, developing technologies, and providing training for local workers to support the program’s sustainability.

As a concrete step in supporting renewable energy development programs, the installation of Off-Grid Solar Power Plants (PLTS) for water pumps and solar-powered street lighting (PJU) has been carried out in Botoreco Village, Blora Regency.

The installation proceeded smoothly and was attended by the Village Head of Botoreco and local hamlet leaders. Their presence reflects the village government’s commitment to utilizing renewable energy resources to meet the community’s needs.

The Off-Grid PLTS for water pumps is expected to enhance the efficiency of clean water distribution to areas within the village that previously had limited access. Meanwhile, the installation of solar-powered street lighting aims to improve safety and comfort for village residents at night, especially in areas that previously lacked adequate lighting.

By utilizing solar panel technology, this program not only supports environmental sustainability but also contributes to reducing dependence on fossil fuel energy sources. The village government, along with the project implementers, is committed to maintaining and ensuring the sustainability of these facilities so they can operate optimally in the long term.

This program serves as an initial step towards broader implementation of renewable energy technologies in rural areas, providing tangible benefits for the local community.

Planning the Installation of Off-Grid Solar Panels for a Water Pump System in Botoreco Village, Blora

Blora, 2024 – In an effort to support the utilization of renewable energy and improve access to clean water for the community, a service team from the Vocational School of Diponegoro University (UNDIP) has planned the installation of a 3 kW on-grid solar panel system for a water pump in Botoreco Village, Blora Regency.

This initiative has received full support from the Dean of the Vocational School at UNDIP and involves several lecturers, managers, and educational staff (tendik) from the Vocational School who are participating in its implementation. The solar panels will be used to supply electricity to the water pump, which is essential for the villagers to meet their clean water needs.

The initial step taken by the service team was a site survey to determine the optimal location for installing the solar panels and to assess environmental conditions that could affect system performance. This survey is a critical part of the planning process to ensure the system operates efficiently and effectively.

In addition to benefiting the community by meeting their clean water needs, this project is also expected to serve as a model for the implementation of environmentally friendly renewable energy and raise awareness about the importance of sustainable energy use.

Moving forward, the community service team from the UNDIP Vocational School will continue with the technical planning, equipment procurement, and system installation phases to ensure the success of this project. This activity is also expected to strengthen the synergy between higher education institutions and the community in developing technologies that benefit daily life.

Invited guests, including industry representatives and communities, were invited to witness student achievements and build closer cooperation in supporting vocational education.

The inauguration of the Teaching Factory Workshop Building and two new workshops marks an important milestone in the journey of the Vocational School of Diponegoro University, Semarang, in preparing the next generation ready to face challenges and seize opportunities in an increasingly complex and dynamic job market.

“Workshop Program of Industrial Electrical Engineering Study at Vocational School Installs Solar Panels for Energy Efficiency!”

“Workshop Program of Industrial Electrical Engineering Study at Vocational School Installs Solar Panels for Energy Efficiency!”

In the midst of efforts to raise awareness about renewable energy, the Industrial Electrical Engineering Study Workshop at the Vocational School has taken a bold step by installing solar panels on their premises. This innovative move aims not only to reduce dependence on conventional energy sources but also to provide opportunities for students to further their understanding of green technology. The installation of solar panels is intended to generate clean and environmentally friendly energy for everyday use in the workshop. As a result, this study program serves not only as 

a center for theoretical learning but also as a practical environment that applies principles of sustainability and energy efficiency.

According to the Head of the Industrial Electrical Engineering Study Program, Mr. Arkhan Subari, S.T., M.Kom., this step is part of their commitment to supporting sustainable learning and preparing students for a more environmentally sustainable future. “We hope that with the adoption of renewable technologies such as solar panels, our students will become more aware of the importance of renewable energy in supporting sustainable industrial development,” he said. The installation of solar panels is also expected to provide long-term economic benefits to the school by reducing energy costs and improving operational efficiency. Additionally, this initiative sets an example for other schools to adopt renewable technologies in their efforts to preserve the environment and reduce carbon footprint.
