Hydropower Potential in Indonesia: Assessment of theoretical, technical and economic potential of hydropower

Indonesia has a severe problem of fossil fuel dependency, making it become one the world’s larger carbon emission contributor. At the same time, the growing population will increase the energy demand in the future. Thus, in order to meet the energy demand and decrease the carbon emission, the government together with PLN as the state electricity...

Estimating the technical and economic potential of rooftop solar photovoltaics on Bali

The Indonesian aims to greatly increase the share of renewable energy sources in the electricity generation mix. Rooftop solar photovoltaics (RTSPV) are a potential generation method that can be used in support of this, with Bali chosen as a case study. No estimates of the total technical and economic potential of RTSPV on Bali exist in academic...

Techno-economic analysis of an industrial cluster with oxygen synergies

Because of the expected growing implementation of large scale water electrolysis, an apparent opportunity arises to implement systems in which the by-product oxygen is harnessed by using it as a raw material in another process. This is also known as an oxygen synergy, an example of industrial symbiosis.<br/>A procedure to design and evaluate the...

The decarbonisation of process heat in the German food and beverages industry: A study quantifying the techno-economic potential of High-Temperature Heat Pumps in the German food and beverages industry, the GHG emission abatement potential, and evaluating the economic and political framework conditions for industrial decarbonisation

Industrial decarbonisation has largely stagnated over the last years in Germany. A large share of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions stem from the combustion of natural gas for producing higher temperature process heat. High-Temperature Heat Pumps (HTHPs) are an emerging technology that can upgrade waste heat with electrical input to high...

Techno-Economic and Institutional Assessment of Wind Energy in Indonesia: A spatial evaluation of wind energy potential and its pertinent institutions

Indonesia is facing a challenge in fulfilling its future energy demand given the combination of a consistently high economic growth and a fast-growing population. The country also needs to increase the integration of renewable energy into the electricity system. Wind energy, one of the renewable energy alternatives, is severely underutilized in...

Plant siting and economic potential of ocean thermal energy conversion in Indonesia a novel GIS-based methodology

Indonesia strives for a renewable energy share of 23% by 2025. One option to contribute to this goal is Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC). Despite a global theoretical potential of up to 30 TW, its economically deployable share remains unknown. This paper proposes a novel methodology, which enables to determine OTEC's economic potential...

Assessment of Economic Potential of Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion in Indonesia: A Spatial Approach

<b>What are the national and provincial economic potentials of ocean thermal energy conversion in relation to the provincial electricity demand fulfilment in Indonesia?</b> When we are talking about the economic potential of OTEC in Indonesia, we are talking about potential as a result of different possible configurations. On the national level,...

National and Global Projection of the Economic Potential of Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion and Development of Implementation Scenarios

Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) is a renewable energy technology which could help tropical countries worldwide in their shift from conventional to sustainable energy systems. But despite a practicable global potential of 4.4 TW as well as benefits like continuous operation and wide-ranged scalability, OTEC's contribution to the energy...
