Depok, August 11th 2023. Increasing collaboration through partnership with industrial partners in terms of education and research is a commitment from the Faculty of Engineering (FT) at Universitas Indonesia (UI). FTUI as the Best Engineering Campus in Indonesia is always committed to improving the delivery of high quality engineering education. This would not have been realized without the support and collaborative synergy from partners of FTUI.
In order to strengthen this collaboration, FTUI signed a cooperation agreement with PT PLN Indonesia Power. This collaboration agreement was carried out between the Dean of FTUI, Prof. Dr. Heri Hermansyah, S.T., M.Eng., IPU. and Rizqi Priatna, Senior Manager of PT PLN Indonesia Power PLTU West Java 2 Pelabuhan Ratu. In the future, FTUI and PT PLN Indonesia Power will develop renewable energy technologies, increase generator reliability and efficiency, reduce carbon emissions and machine learning .
“We are confident that this collaboration will provide useful results and have a positive impact on the energy sector in Indonesia. Through the synergy between academics and practitioners, we hope to produce innovative solutions that are relevant to future needs, reduce dependence on conventional energy sources, and contribute to environmental sustainability,” said Prof. Heri during the signing which was carried out at the same time as the FTUI Anniversary (17/7)
“This collaboration is a strategic step and has the potential to have a positive impact on the transformation of the electricity industry. FTUI as a higher education institution has resources that have the potential to conduct innovative research and development in the field of renewable energy, strategies to reduce carbon emissions, and steps to increase the efficiency of our power plants,” said Rizqi Priatna.
This collaboration reflects the commitment of the two institutions to contribute in responding to the energy and environmental challenges faced by Indonesia. It is hoped that in the future, this collaboration will produce significant innovations in the electricity industry and create positive changes in welcoming a better and sustainable energy future for Indonesia.
