Electrification ratio and renewable energy in Papua Province

Abstract

Application of game theory in decision making strategy: Does gas fuel industry need to kill oil based fuel industry? AIP Conference Proceedings 1826, 020037 (2017) ) among the provinces. The scenario to boost up ER in the Eastern area by connected the consumers at villages which not electrified yet to the new Renewable Energy sources. This paper presents an overview of current situation of Electricity Infrastructure and Operation particularly on the mountain area which has high populated compare to coastal area but the average RE below 10%. Case studies of electricity infrastructure profile from mountain area were conducted to identify and reveal the challenge to achieve the Bright Indonesia objectives. Also, the assessment of the visibility according to the high target from this program will be presented.

Economic Feasibility of a PV-Wind Hybrid Microgrid System for Off-Grid Electrification in Papua, Indonesia

“…Despite its rich renewable energy resources, including solar and wind energy, Papua remains an underdeveloped region with limited access and uneven electrification conditions [8]. With an electrification ratio below 50%, significantly lower than the national average of 88.30%, Papua's geographical and demographic challenges, including mountainous terrain and low population density, contribute to its underdevelopment [9].…”
