Optimization of Hybrid Renewable Energy in Malaysia Remote Rural Area Using HOMER Software
Summary. Researchers evaluated hybrid renewable energy systems for three remote rural areas in Malaysia using HOMER software. Biomass energy proved most cost-effective at $0.342/kWh and feasible across all locations due to abundant empty fruit bunch resources. Solar systems showed promise, with Kerteh requiring the smallest panel size (350 kW) while meeting demand at $0.442/kWh. Wind energy was not viable due to Malaysia's low wind speeds. Biomass emerged as the optimal solution for rural electrification.
