Optimization Of PV-Wind Power Generation to Reduce Carbon Emissions in Coastal Areas

Le résumé fourni par la source

Coastal areas have long coastlines and receive a lot of sunlight, thus having great potential for the development of renewable energy, especially from solar and wind sources. Despite this significant potential, many coastal regions continue to use fossil fuel-based power plants that generate substantial greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to climate change. These detrimental effects encompass a range of environmental concerns, including global warming, rising sea levels, and air pollution Therefore, alternative, eco-friendly, and sustainable energy solutions are required for energy provision in coastal areas. At the Pameungpeuk Substation (GI) in Garut, energy consumption is recorded at 9.9864 MW/day. The potential for renewable energy in this area comes from solar radiation, which reaches 4.89 kWh/m2, and Winds typically blow at 5.55 meters per second. HOMER, a globally renowned microgrid modeling software, is used for simulation and optimization of renewable power generation systems. This software calculates the Net Present Cost (NPC) and the Cost Of Energy (COE). Based on simulations using HOMER, In the coastal area of Garut Regency, a hybrid power generation system combining solar and wind energy sources produces a total annual energy output of 11,503.275 kWh.. Wind power generators become the largest energy supplier with a production of 5,205.950 kWh/year or 45.3% of the total production. The calculations show that the Cost Of Energy (COE) for this hybrid power generation system is Rp 140.9/kWh. Therefore, the optimization of solar and wind power generation systems in coastal regions presents a significant opportunity to decrease reliance on fossil fuels and mitigate greenhouse gas emissions This has a significant impact on efforts to reduce carbon emissions in coastal areas, contributes to solving global environmental issues, and creates more sustainable energy solutions.
