Viable Options and Opportunities for Energy Saving in a Distribution System Towards Sustainability: Taylor’s University as the Case

A typical energy audit program profound for energy saving perspective. However, there is always room for improvement for the electrical system in further optimizing energy savings. One great option considering the terrain of Malaysia solar technology is a promising solution. However, the investment to the return on the economic is more of critical to be sustainable. Viability of the PV system through technical, environmental and financial aspects, based on PV sizing and cost analysis, and performed. The design requirement for a PV system that were considered in this study such as cost, Return of Investment (ROI), payback period, available space, suitable location for installation, power sizing were conducted. Upon the implementation of the system for the chosen landscape (Taylor’s University Distribution system), it is estimated that 197,028 kWh/year of energy, RM72,569.14/year of cost saving making it a strategy towards sustainability.
