Abstract:
Air Sena is a small remote village located in southern of Matak Island, Kepulauan Anambas Regency. The village is struggling to comply its electricity demand with 704 population and 202 households. Current energy demand in the village is supplied by diesel generator with capacity of 2 x 140 kVA. However, diesel generator burdens the society with high operational cost, green gas emission, and environmental quality degradation. The study is aimed to design a sustainable energy supply system in Air Sena based on local resources with stand-alone hybrid system using HOMER software. Based on simulation and optimization result, with $0.40/L fuel price scenario, hybrid of PV-diesel generator-converter-battery is the most feasible options with 24.7% renewable energy penetration. While with scenario fuel price $0.70/L, hybrid of PV-wind turbine-diesel generatorconverter- battery is the optimum option, with 48% renewable energy penetration.
