Analysis on the Potential of Renewable Energy in Maritime Areas and Its Effect on the Medium Voltage Utility Electricity Networks

The medium voltage electricity network located on the coast of Panimbang to Ujung Kulon has limited supply, where the quality of the voltage at the end of the electricity network is below standard. The potential for renewable energy in this location is quite abundant, such as solar and wind energy. This study was conducted to find out how much electrical energy can be generated at this location and how big the impact is on improving the voltage drop on the utility electricity network. This study was carried out by considering the large-scale floating solar PV of 5.5 MWp and two locations for the construction of the wind turbine systems, each with a capacity of 1 MW. This research was conducted by simulating the design of the generator as well as the impact of the operating system of the generator on the improvement of the voltage profile using HelioScope, Homer and PSS Sincal software. In this study, obtained the amount of electrical energy produced and the composition of each generator, the impact of voltage improvement is also seen in the upstream, middle stream and downstream of the network. In this research, has been obtained the value of the performance ratio (PR) and the capacity factor. The PR value on the floating solar PV is 78.63%, and the CF value on the floating solar PV is 14.19%. The CF value for wind turbine system 1 (WT 1) and wind turbine system 2 (WT 2) are 7.35% and 9.67% respectively.
