Energy analysis of solar farm planning in weh island, aceh, indonesia (original) (raw)

2019, IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering

The paper discusses the simulation study and analysis of output energy produced by 5MW solar farm located in Weh Island, Aceh Province, Indonesia. Weh Island is a tourist area. Currently, a diesel power plant supplies all of its electricity requirement. Most of the user were household, hotels and public facilities. Weh Island consists of 8,858 family houses, 124 medium and small hotels. 48 educational facilities (formal schools and traditional Islamic schools) 48 healthcare facilities (consisting of 2 hospitals, 6 public healthcare centre, and 23 public healthcare service units). The daily peak load of electricity usage occurred at two points; 03.00 pm and 08.00 pm, with the peak load reaches 4,667 kW and 5,009 kW respectively. The solar farm was designed based on the peak electrical load (5MWp) using grid-connected system to ensure continuous availability in the area, as solar farms are only able to operate during the day. The system used 300 Wp Monocrystalline technology panels wi...
