Abstract

Most developing countries are facing the same problem of increasing population and pollution. This has led to the increase of energy consumption that forces them to seek for alternative energy other than depleting fossil fuel such renewable energy namely solar. Located in South East Asia, Malaysia is confronting with the same situation. In this study, the evaluation of potential of solar energy for three locations in Malaysia including Pontian, Kerteh and Teluk Intan is performed using HOMER software. Based on the results, Pontian generates the highest annual solar electricity generation of 543,509 kWh year-1 due to the large size of 400 kWPV panel of the system. However, the cost of energy or also known as COE produced is expensive. On the other hand, with the highest solar radiation received in Kerteh, the PV stand-alone system requires lower size of 350 kW PV panel but at the same time is able to fulfil the demand with the lowest COE of $0,442 kWh-1 among other locations.
马来西亚太阳能潜力评估
大多数发展中国家都面临着人口增长和污染的同样问题。这导致了能源消耗的增加,迫使他们寻找替代能源,而不是耗尽化石燃料,如可再生能源,即太阳能。位于东南亚的马来西亚也面临着同样的情况。在这项研究中,利用HOMER软件对马来西亚三个地点的太阳能潜力进行了评估,包括庞天、克德和泰鲁克英丹。结果表明,由于系统400 kWPV面板的大尺寸,庞天的年太阳能发电量最高,为543,509 kWh year-1。然而,产生的能源成本(也称为COE)是昂贵的。另一方面,由于Kerteh接收的太阳辐射最高,光伏独立系统需要更小的350千瓦光伏电池板,但同时能够以最低的COE(0,442千瓦时-1)满足其他地区的需求。
