Design and Analysis of Hybrid Off-Grid PV-Battery-Genset System for Communal and Administrative Load Under Cycle Charging Control Strategy at Patippi Village Papua

Indonesia's renewable energy potential reaches 443 GW. The potential for solar energy has the largest portion up to 207 GW. Indonesia has average irradiation of 4.8 kWh / m2 / year. Even though it has great renewable energy potential, its utilization is still minimal. Indonesia still has areas that are not yet electrified. Patippi Village is one of the isolated villages in Asmat Regency, Papua. This village has a potential emission of 4.6 kWh / m2 / year with a communal load requirement of 31.08 kWh / day and an administrative load of 11.658 kWh / day. Hybrid PV-Battery-Genset systems integrate renewable energy sources to generate electricity for distribution to the regions to increase system reliability. The design and analysis were carried out using MATLAB / Simulink and HOMER Pro software with a Cycle Charging control strategy. The results of the analysis are used to implement a reliable off-grid PV-Battery-Genset hybrid system in clear and cloudy skies, with an economical Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) and Net Present Cost (NPC).
