“…In line with that, Malaysia adopted the Small Renewable Energy Power Program (SREP) in year 2001 to further boost the development of RE. However, unsatisfactory results were obtained as the SREP scheme failed to increase the share of RE in the national power generation mix by 2010 [2]. After that, in 2011, a national energy policy known as Renewable Energy Act 2011 (Act 725) was introduced and passed in the Malaysian parliament for implementation [3,4].…”

This paper investigated the wind energy potential by analysing a certain amount of gathered 10-min measured data at four stations located at coastal sites in Malaysia, i.e., Kudat, Mersing, Kijal, and Langkawi. The wind data are collected from a total of four new wind measurement masts with sensors mounted at various heights on the tower. The measured data have enabled the establishment of wind resource maps and the power law indexes (PLIs) analysis. In addition, the dependence of PLI upon surface temperature and terrain types is studied, as they are associated to the form of exponential fits. Moreover, the accuracy of exponential fits is assessed by comparing the results with the 1/7 law via the capacity factor (CF) discrepancies. In order to do so, the wind turbine with a hub-height similar to the maximum height of the measured data at each site is selected to simulate energy production. Accordingly, the discrepancy of CF based on the extrapolated data by employing 1/7 laws and exponential fits, in spite of being computed using measured data, is determined as well. Furthermore, the large discrepancy of the wind data and the CF, which has been determined with the application of 1/7, is compared to the exponential fits. This is because; discrepancy in estimation of vertical wind speed could lead to inaccurate CF computation. Meanwhile, from the energy potential analysis based on the computed CF, only Kudat and Mersing display a promising potential to develop a medium capacity of wind turbine power, while the other sites may be suitable for wind turbines at a small scale.

“…in the palm oil industry; a majority of people would be expected to only have partial understanding in advanced boiler technology [5]. Past involvements in countries such as Germany and China highlighted that in spite of the application of standard PM methodology in Germany, subsequent result was found to be non-satisfactory [28].…”

“…However, barriers such as unrealistic expectations, communication barriers, and a lack of public awareness and support have hindered successful implementation of these policies [5]. The objective for this project is not only to provide RE policy formulation guidance for policymakers, since the deployment of RE contributes considerably to the economy [6], but to also recommend project management (PM) methodologies in the RE industry especially during the implementation of RE policies [7].…”

Abstract-This paper reviews current renewable energy policies in Malaysia to develop an understanding of the country's progress in achieving energy sustainability given that fossil fuel resources are facing its eventual and gradual depletion; hence the need to develop a project management framework with reference to Malaysia's renewable energy efforts. Extensive literature review was conducted and a comparative analysis were performed to further the understanding of vital modifications and inclinations historically involving the evaluation and assessment of Malaysia's renewable energy policies, its framework as well as its implementation guidelines. These reviews would contribute in developing a policy-writing management framework based upon the SWOT analysis of Malaysia's renewable energy policies. This was then developed to further improve the structural stance of current policies to ensure effective implementation of large-scale renewable energy projects in Malaysia.
