This research examines renewable energy modelling and analysis to develop future power plants in higher education. A new approach in needs analysis through modelling and analysis of renewable energy generation to design future power plants. The case study focuses on a solar power plant and a hydroelectric power plant in Tomuan Holbung Village Bandar Pasir Mandoge Asahan Regency, North Sumatra, Indonesia. The potential energy sources of hydropower and solar power plants in Tomuan Holbung Village were mapped and measured and then simulated, resulting in a hydropower potential of 5.92 MW. As for the potential of solar energy from the measurement results and obtained average daily radiation of solar energy reaches 5.9 kWh/m2. This research also explores the application of the research results in a real problem-based e-module for learning. The practicality of the real problem-assisted e-module model has been tested in a small class test on 4 student respondents who participated in the study, showing the results of the practicality of using the renewable energy e-module of 80% declared practical. The concept of mapping, modelling and analysis of real situations applied to learning becomes a reference in understanding future electrical energy needs whose potential is spread across several regions in Indonesia. This approach offers new insights and methodologies that can be adapted for sustainable power plant design and enriches the learning experience in the field of renewable energy. © Little Lion Scientific.
