Feasibility study of hybrid system for resident area in Pulau Perhentian Kecil, Terengganu

Abstract

The inclination to utilize renewable energy assets has become consistently in the course of recent decades, it because of warnings of global warming and the depletion of fossil fuels. The price of crude oil is increasing and no sign of downward pattern in the recent years. In Malaysia remote island is far away from grid supply and a heavy cost is involved in extending the grid. With the use of solution to generate electricity in cleanliness and environmental friendly, the renewable energy will be used in the remote island. This project will analyze the potential of renewable energy in remote island specifically in Pulau Perhentian Terengganu. The configuration of optimal hybrid technology system and the selection is based on the components, sizing and provide with the aim to achieve effective cost and efficient system are proposed. The use of renewable energy (RE) is one of the preferred solutions, namely solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind power. Combination of solar photovoltaic(PV) and wind power is high potential to be use because of these are abundant, inexhaustible and sources are freely available and can reduce of carbon emission in the generation system for a long run of use. Hybrid Optimization Model for Electrical Renewables (HOMER) software will used to simulate and analyze the hybrid system. The results is provide the generated by the photovoltaic system and wind energy system with total saving of net present cost (NPC) is about 31.5% , energy renewable fraction( RF) is 56.6% are calculated as a main environmental purpose and the optimum result of greenhouse gas emissions is reducing total of 40%.
