Analysis of Sub-criteria Relationships in the Selection of Fly Ash Utilization Methods at PLTU Tarahan Lampung Using Dependence and Driving Power Analysis (DDPA)
Keywords:
fly ash, dependence, driving, sub-criteria, utilizationAbstract
The utilization of fly ash and bottom ash (FABA) as part of the waste management strategy in the power generation sector continues to be encouraged to support the implementation of a circular economy. Coal-fired steam power plant (PLTU) Tarahan as one of the generating units owned by Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) Group produces a significant amount of fly ash every year, but its utilization is still limited. This research aims to identify key criteria and sub-criteria that influence each other in the alternative selection system for fly ash utilization methods at PLTU Tarahan. Dependence and Driving Power Analysis (DDPA) method was used to analyze the relationship between sub-criteria based on inputs from 23 expert respondents from academics, practitioners, and regulators. The validation results produced 4 main criteria and 27 sub-criteria that were analyzed in the affordability and reachability matrix. The mapping result showed that several sub-criteria fall into the linkage cluster—characterized by high driving and dependence power—spanning technical, environmental, economic, and social criteria. These sub-criteria need strategic attention as changes to these elements can affect the system. This study recommends the need for advanced analytical approaches such as Analytic Network Process (ANP) to prioritize fly ash utilization methods in a comprehensive and sustainable manner.
