Feasibility and Efficiency Assessment of Solar PV Systems for Electrification improvement in Tunda Island: A Renewable Energy Approach
Keywords:
feasibility, photovoltaic, performance, energy, hybridAbstract
This study evaluates the technical and financial feasibility of a photovoltaic (PV) hybrid system to enhance power access on the remote Tunda Island in Banten Province, Indonesia. The performance of PV modules was simulated using PVsyst software, while HOMER Pro software was used to optimize the generation operation plan, focusing on minimizing the levelized cost of energy (LCOE). Four system configurations were simulated and compared: 100% diesel, diesel with PV, PV and battery energy storage system (BESS), and a hybrid system combining PV, diesel, and BESS. The results show that the hybrid PV + Diesel + BESS system performs best, generating 785 MWh per year with only 6.6% excess energy, a performance ratio of 76.9%, and an LCOE of USD 0.212/kWh. Compared to the diesel-only baseline, fuel consumption is reduced by over 85%, and the Net Present Cost (NPC) is decreased by USD 1,069,283 This configuration ensures 24-hour energy supply reliability, significantly reduces lowers operating costs. The findings highlight that hybrid renewable energy systems are a technically feasible and economically viable solution for sustainable electrification of remote island communities, contributing to national renewable energy goals.
