Planning the Electrification of Rural Villages in East Nusa Tenggara Using Renewable Energy Generation

Jannata Giwangkara, Bart van Campen · 2018 · Indonesian Journal of Energy

Summary. This study evaluates the techno-economic feasibility of renewable energy systems for electrifying rural villages in East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. Using HOMER software to model three electrification scenarios, researchers compared diesel, solar PV, wind, and hybrid systems. Solar-powered renewable systems proved more cost-competitive than diesel across all scenarios, with levelized costs of energy ranging from $0.55 to $0.74 per kilowatt-hour, while delivering significant environmental benefits through reduced CO2 emissions.
