Abstract

As of the end of 2022, Indonesia’s electrification ratio reached 99.63%, reflecting significant progress. However, the province of East Nusa Tenggara lags behind with an electrification ratio below 90%, indicating a considerable gap in energy access. This challenge is particularly evident in Oelpuah village, where frequent power outages occur due to the inadequacy of the existing 5 MW solar farm. This study proposes addressing this shortfall by expanding the solar farm capacity by an additional 4 MW. Comprehensive feasibility studies were conducted, evaluating solar radiation, natural disaster risks, and land use. The analysis, supported by PVSyst simulations, identified a suitable site with high radiation levels, though it is not entirely free from disaster risks. The design requires 13,500 solar panel modules, each with a capacity of 330 Wp, and seven 500 kW inverters. Optimal system performance is achieved with a 15-degree panel tilt and a 0-degree azimuth, aligning with the site's location south of the equator. This expansion could supply electricity to up to 4,014 households, each with a typical power usage of 0.825 kW. The study highlights the need for further research to enhance electricity coverage across Indonesia.
