“…It is, therefore, regarded as an eco-friendly form of energy that has zero to minimal amounts of CO 2 emissions. While renewable and alternative energy has great potential to replace the dependency on fossil fuels, the progress of bringing it into the mainstream has been slow in most developing countries ( Malahayati, 2020 ). Malaysia is no exception, introduced several measures in its 8th Malaysia Plan during 2001 for rapid RE integration to its national grid ( Oh et al., 2018 ).…”

COVID′19 pandemic has devastated several industries and solar energy is no exception. In its economic relief package, Malaysia has announced approximately US$ 2.9 billion in expenditure for the installation of new grids, LED street lights and rooftop solar panels. The Government will also open the tender for a 1400 MW solar power project in the year 2020, which is expected to generate 5 billion ringgit (US$1.1 billion) in investments. As these measures are intended to sustain the existing growth of solar energy potential in the country, it is vital to assess its status quo. Hence, this paper aims to review the current status of renewable energy in Malaysia as well as the initiatives taken before the pandemic to promote solar photovoltaic (PV) technology to meet the energy demands through the low-carbon pathway.

“…In conclusion, based on AHP, solar energy is the most suitable choice for a renewable energy resource for Malaysia. The Association of South-East Asia Nations (ASEAN), as the regional-cooperation organization which Malaysia is a member state, have a common collective target to increase the component of renewable energy in their primary energy supply to 23 % by 2025 [25]. However, this neutral alliance of countries could not intervene in each other's national renewable energy policy due to the neutrality principle but could always share inputs and technology to develop renewable energy resources.…”

Switching to renewable energy resources as an alternative is critical for developing countries in order to ensure energy security and diversify their energy supply. Malaysia is endowed with biomass, solar, waste-to-energy, wind, and hydro energy potentials, although these have not been fully explored. This is because the country continues to rely extensively on conventional fossil-fuel energy sources such as coal and petroleum to generate power and consume energy. On the other hand, demand for energy is increasing as a result of population growth and a booming economy. Thus, this study intends to identify suitable potential renewable energy resources that can benefit Malaysia by analysing the outcomes of Focus Group Discussions (FGD) using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) as an analytical technique. Five renewable energy resources were evaluated: biomass, solar, waste to energy, wind, and hydro energy while five criteria were identified: carbon production, operational costs, location characteristics, energy, and availability of renewable energy resources. The outcome suggested a strategic focus on solar energy for Malaysia due to consideration in carbon production. This information will assist decision-makers in strategizing the most suitable renewable energy resources for Malaysia.

“…The worsened performances include the degeneration of the power quality generated by power ripples and the escalation of current harmonic falsification. Eliminating these problems requires that the 90MW PV grid is connected with a reactive power control method to handle the lopsided errors [10] negative arrangement current injections, which provide an active power and reactive current, which does not exceed the inverter's current limit. The current injection scheme supports the voltage during voltage sags.…”

Large-scale PV plants have the ability to make the curtailment of cost per watt of the normal power installed. This article describes a new technique for computing the optimal contour of large PV plants. Massive infiltration of renewable energy sources is increasing because of the awareness created on environmental issues and electric power deregulation. A PV system is a renewable energy source that establishes a future sustainability in power distribution. The technical specifications details are provided by solar irradiation and performance ratio. High accuracy of energy generation followed in computations in the proposed system. The high-accuracy feature is validated using experimental data of the 90MW PV plant in Cambodia. The results obtained show that the optimisation method can lead to a reduced cost of energy generated. This enables the maximisation of the benefit obtained on the operational life period of the PV module. The model’s accuracy depends on a hierarchical structure level model, model measurement accuracy, model identification, structure accuracy, measurement accuracy, simulator algorithms metrics, and the accuracy of the calibration parameter. The paper is built based on the physical ranking of the PV power model structure, making the system a high-fidelity model.
