Abstract

This research aims to optimize a system for producing renewable energy using wind and solar power. On the island of Java, some rail stations will have Electric Vehicle Charging Stations with this technology as the primary energy source. The hybrid electric power network for electric vehicle charging is being utilized to address the demand for a more environmentally friendly and sustainable transformation of land transportation in Indonesia. Feasibility or techno-economic analysis is used to look into the possibilities of solar and wind energy while considering investment expenses and monitoring the quantity of power produced. The resources are analyzed using the Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewable (HOMER) program, which considers the suggested hybrid power system's economic viability. Many analyses include those of Net Present Cost (NPC), Cost of Energy (CoE), Energy Expenditure Ratio, Energy Output, Use, and Excess Energy that each of the system's constituent parts produces. After installing this hybrid system, which optimizes monthly output and has minimal maintenance costs with a prospective investment, somewhat satisfying results were reached. This hybrid system may lower the value of electrical energy generated from renewable sources to IDR 2,109.88/kWh. ©2024 The authors.
