Yayasan Mercy Corps Indonesia (YMCI) is a non-governmental, humanitarian aid organization operating in transitional contexts that have undergone, or have been undergoing, various forms of economic, and environmental, social and political instabilities. YMCI collaborates with Infratec to jointly implement New Zealand – Maluku Access to Renewable Energy Support (NZMATES).
The NZMATES program’s goal is to support the update of affordable, reliable and renewable energy in off-grid and grid-connected areas in Seram and surrounding islands, Maluku Province. Through supporting increased access to electricity and increased use of the areas’ renewable resources (mainly solar and hydro, but also wind, biomass, and otherS), NZMATES hopes to contribute to improved social well-being and economic development on Seram Island in Maluku province. Besides the technical assistance program, NZMATES also focuses on human capital development. Therefore, NZMATES has partnerships with local universities in Ambon to improve the capacity of local people on operating renewable energy plants.

YMCI is now looking for potential bidders for Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) for Solar Lab at the University of Pattimura Ambon – Maluku. The main objective of the project is to serve as a live training lab for the University of Pattimura to test, experiment, monitor, operate, and maintain a solar and battery storage installation under realistic conditions, that can serve as a model and learning experience for the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of renewable energy systems in remote areas.
The laboratory will also include equipment that allows monitoring the PLTS, test panels, batteries, load profiles, smart loads and other equipment. This should help support the growing renewable energy education at The University of Pattimura.
The single-phase solar and battery system (PLTS) will be built using an AC coupling system. It will comprise a solar PV array with a total capacity of circa 5 kWp (DC) and a two-string configuration. Each string will have >2.5 kWp of PV panels. A single-phase AC inverter will be used for each string. The single-phase AC battery inverter will be able to supply a continuous AC power of up to 6 kVA. A Lithium-ion battery is chosen to be the storage system with a usable capacity of a minimum of 10 kWh in standard test conditions. The battery system must be able to absorb excess PV generation when it is required and must be able to curtail electricity from PV during less load factor served by PLTS on weekends or holidays. It is also able to prevent export towards the PLN main grid.
