Hybrid of photovoltaic and diesel power plant in Celagen Island

Abstract

Celagen Island is one of the outer islands in Bangka Belitung Islands Province. The population of Celagen island is 1234 people and dominated by fishermen. Currently, electricity is supplied from 1 unit of photovoltaic with capacity 80-kWp and coupled with three units of diesel power plant with capacity 100 kW. To meet the electricity needs of 1069 kWh/day, supply from diesel power plant already sufficient. But for the economics of the cost of providing primary fuel, a hybrid from photovoltaic and diesel power plants needs to be done. Hybrid power plants are one of the options to meet the electrical energy needs of geographically difficult areas to connect to the on-grid electricity network. The hybrid system with 72% of electricity from the diesel power plant and 28% of electricity from photovoltaic is very economical. The economic analysis shows that with this modeling, the cost of providing primary fuel is lower by 1228 rupiah/kWh if only using diesel power plant.

“…The results of the analysis of energy production costs in the hybrid system that we describe in Table 3 show that there are differences in the ratio of costs to population. If we compare with reference [13], that the cost of energy production to the population is 0.00006 MWh/person, while our results show a significant difference, namely 0.02635 MWh/person. This happens because the analysis aspect in reference [13] does not involve PV penetration, wind speed that affects the possibility of shading and the response system to PV penetration varies.…”

“…The hybrid system is a solution to increase the generated and achievable power capacity and reduce carbon production [12]. Although several researchers have conducted studies on different energy sources in hybrid PV-diesel systems [13], hydro-PV [14], the main problems of hybrid systems are control and power quality.…”

“…The number of PV TOT requirements is calculated using Equation (9) as in [40], where N Modul is the number of solar panel modules (11) [40], N String is the number of strings in one array (12) [40], and N Array is the number of arrays (13) [40]. V idc is converter output voltage (V), Current converter output voltage (V i ), V u is DC voltage to obtain AC voltage, and M a is Constanta of inverter modulastio index, in this case, M a = 0.9.…”
