Indonesia is known as a country rich in natural resources, including renewable energy potential. However, until now, its utilization is still not optimal. This is where graduates of S1 Energy Systems Engineering– a study program designed to answer future challenges in the fields of electricity, energy technology, and renewable systems – play an important role.
With a large population and rapid economic growth, the need for energy in Indonesia continues to increase. The Energy Systems Engineering undergraduate program is here as a solution to prepare young people who are able to develop and manage alternative energy sources efficiently and sustainably.
S1 Energy Systems Engineering is an undergraduate program that combines electrical, mechanical, and environmental engineering to design energy systems that are efficient, modern, and environmentally friendly. Students are equipped with multidisciplinary skills to understand, analyze, and develop future energy systems.
The program is highly relevant amid global issues related to energy transition and global warming, making it one of the most prospective fields of study in the clean energy era.
Definition of New Power Source
New power sources are alternative energy sources to fossil fuels, which are more environmentally friendly, sustainable and naturally available. New energy can come from biological, chemical or geophysical processes.
Classification of New Power Sources
New power sources are classified into two main categories:
- Renewable Energy:
- Solar energy
- Wind energy
- Water energy (hydro)
- Biomass and bioenergy
- Geothermal energy
- New Non-Renewable Energy:
- Nuclear (still limited in Indonesia)
- Coal gasification (as a transition to clean energy)
Indonesia has tremendous potential, especially in the field of renewable energy. This is a great opportunity for Energy Systems Engineering undergraduate students to contribute directly to the implementation of green technology in the future.
