Abstract

Microgrid systems represent a significant advancement in energy supply technologies, particularly for rural communities lacking access to electricity; however, these systems are predominantly reliant on diesel generators (DG). The formulation and selection of suitable configurations, alongside operational patterns, must be meticulously evaluated in the pursuit of economically viable and dependable microgrid systems.

Consequently, this research sought to devise an optimal configuration and operational for microgrid systems situated in isolation, utilizing the Baron Techno Park (BTP) in Indonesia as a case study. The optimization process was executed utilizing HOMER software, integrated with an operating cost comparison, with particular emphasis placed on daily load fluctuations, the selection of control algorithms, the reconfiguration of the power supply system, and the regulation of diesel generator operational hours. The proposed microgrid system yielded a surplus energy production of 16.7%, a renewable fraction (RF) of 100%, a levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) of $5.6 per kWh, a net present cost (NPC) of $3,97M. In summary, the study shows that by slightly increasing the capital cost of PV system procurement, it can reduce the operating cost of $629 from the base system in the long term.
