| Summary: | This study evaluates the technical and economic feasibility of integrating solar
photovoltaic (PV) systems with hydrogen storage as a renewable energy source to
meet the demands of high-load industries with stable energy consumption patterns
throughout the day. The analysis compares two renewable energy deployment
methods: on-site, where the PV-hydrogen system is installed directly at the
customer’s location, and off-site, where the system is built on land that does not
belong to the customer.
The evaluation includes calculations of Net Present Cost (NPC), Levelized Cost of
Energy (LCOE), Operational Expenditure (OPEX), and an environmental impact
analysis based on carbon emissions. Additionally, this study examines the influence
of Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) revenue on the economic value of the
system.
Simulation results indicate that the on-site PV-hydrogen system offers economic
advantages, with a lower LCOE of Rp1,160/kWh, supported by lower capital costs
and shorter construction time. In contrast, the off-site method has a higher LCOE
of Rp1,251/kWh due to increased CAPEX for land acquisition and longer
construction durations.
Simulations and analyses were conducted using HOMER Pro software to evaluate
the optimal system configuration based on economic and technical aspects. |
