Abstract

This paper aims to evaluate the photovoltaic (PV) nanogrid implementation and its risk for a project at a remote location. Unlike the normal approach, this approach is based on a discontinuity project. The main advantage of the model is the simplicity to compute the expected lifetime and display the reliability curve. The reliability is calculated using state space equation and a quantitative approach evaluates the risk of PV nanogrid scenarios based on costs. The MATLAB/Simulink simulates the scenarios including the basic scenario of a PV system that is a PV nanogrid consisting of a PV array and inverter, scenario 1 that is a PV nanogrid with a battery system, scenario 2 is an extension of scenario 1 with a battery repair, and scenario 3 is a PV nanogrid connected to the grid. The result indicates that adding a battery system increases the reliability and the expected lifetime of the system, and the battery system’s maintenance makes it higher. Scenario 3 shows high reliability and a longer expected lifetime. The risk matrix shows the position of reliability and its impact on each scenario. This work can be used in practice as an objective assessment to electrify frontier, remote, and disadvantaged (3T) areas beside levelized cost of energy (LCOE).

Abstract

The target of massive installation of renewable energy is the focus of this research. Several industrial sectors continue to install photovoltaic rooftop to support green energy. One of the main objectives of this research is to see the maximum impact of installing a photovoltaic rooftop at 1 point of customer and spread capacity for each customer. This research uses a radial distribution network system that closely resembles the distribution network in Indonesia, where the load profile considers the load characteristics of industrial, commercial, and residential loads. This study uses the line equation theorem method to calculate the voltage rises by considering two current measurement points: the current at the end and the current at the base. The obtained voltage rise is then accumulated to be summed up with the customer afterward. The results are obtained by considering three scenarios: 1) voltage limits, 2) voltage limits and line loading, and 3) voltage limits, thermal, and harmonics in accordance with regulations. The obtained results are closely aligned with the simulations performed on the hosting capacity software such as DIgSILENT.
