Abstract

This study explores the use of Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to identify and mitigate risks in Solar Power Plants (PLTS) in Indonesia’s new National Capital City (IKN). As renewable energy is vital to Indonesia’s sustainability goals, managing risks in PLTS is essential for ensuring reliable and efficient energy production.

The research identifies key challenges such as PV Array module failures, shading effects, and control system disruptions, which significantly impact electricity generation. Using the Risk Priority Number (RPN) methodology, the study ranks PV Array modules as the highest risk component (RPN 192), followed by Control and Management Systems (RPN 140) and PV Circuit Breakers and Video Monitoring Systems (RPN 120). These findings underline the need for targeted mitigation strategies.

Recommendations include regular PV module inspections, hotspot monitoring technology, firmware updates, and enhanced fire protection systems. Preventive measures like grounding current maintenance and fire sensor upgrades further minimize operational disruptions, ensuring component durability and system efficiency.

By leveraging the FMEA framework, this study systematically identifies and prioritizes risks while providing actionable solutions to enhance operational resilience. The results align with Indonesia’s vision of achieving 80 % renewable energy utilization in IKN by 2045.

This research offers broader applicability for renewable energy systems in similar contexts, contributing to clean energy initiatives, reducing fossil fuel dependency, and supporting sustainable urban planning. It serves as a critical resource for integrating renewable energy into Indonesia’s green and resilient capital city vision
