Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to present the techno-economic analysis of an off-grid Photovoltaic system, which prepared to support disaster mitigation scheme in remote areas. As a case study, a regency in Mentawai Island, Sumatera Barat is chosen to represent a remote area in a disaster-prone location. The proposed system capacity is 20 kWp PV system as a single electricity source for medical facility in the island. As a tool in this study, RETScreen software was used to analyze the technical, environmental, and economical feasibility analysis. As a base case scenario, the medical facility was supported by a diesel-fueled generator and the PV system can deliver 10.14 MWh of electricity to load annually. Net annual GHG emission reduction of the system is 19.4 ton of CO2 equivalent. With the total initial cost for the whole PV system at USD 41,380, RETScreen simulation result showed that the equity payback of the project is 6.0 years with IRR of 11.9% hence the project is financially viable.

Abstract

In this era, energy demand is increasing along with population growth and technological development. Energy is a basic need, and its availability is decreasing, necessitating renewable energy sources like solar energy. However, the current use of solar Photovoltaic (PV) relies only on one side. In this study, the bifacial method is used in solar power plants (PLTS) to reduce conventional energy consumption by identifying the relationship between the tilt angle and internal shading that affects the performance of bifacial photovoltaics. The PLTS system is designed with inclination angles of 8, 15, and 20 to minimize shading and maximize efficiency. PVsyst simulation results show that an 8 angle produces 22868 kWh/year, a 15 angle produces 22724 kWh/year, and a 20 angle produces 22464 kWh/year. Shading affects energy production, but the 8 angle has the lowest power reduction. Choosing the right inclination angle can improve PLTS efficiency and performance.
