Assessment of Solar Cell System Design for Mechanical Cooling System on the Ferry 500 GT

Abstract

Energy power is now a basic requirement for practically the whole human population. Electrical energy plays a critical role in the economy's operations. Electric energy can be generated from a wide range of energy sources. Outline his energy can be in for two kinds of energy that can be updated and energy that cannot be updated. Source of energy that cannot be updated, among others derived from fossil and nuclear and energy can still be updated, among others derived from geothermal (solar energy), ocean waves, waterfalls, wind, etc. Source of energy that cannot be updated, notably energy derived from fossil gradually going on leave because the price become more expensive and the amount of energy sources already reduced. The Sun's energy can be used to generate heat (solar thermal) or electricity (electricity) (photovoltaic). Utilization of solar energy as a solar photovoltaic plant in engineering as a source of electrical energy with no pollution, air pollution, or pollution on the surrounding environment. The solar cell is the fundamental component of photovoltaics. The use of solar cell on a vessel can be used as energy in a variety of electrical equipment on the ship, due to the relative abundance of Sun energy and never run out because the Sun bathes the territory Indonesia 10-12 hours a day. In this case the solar cell used to meet the needs of the mechanical cooling equipment on board the ferry that sails around the region of Indonesia. Expected usage of this solar energy can reduce the use of fossil fuels oil and can save on operational costs.
