In this paper, the electrical energy generation of photovoltaic (PV) arrays is discussed for three cities on the island of Réunion (the Republic of France) located in the Indian Ocean. Each PV array has a different orientation as it is placed at different parts of the roof of a residential house that supposedly is a sustainable building. The electrical energy generation is obtained by using EnergyPlus software and measured solar radiation data. The highest generation of electric energy is found for the PV array located at the north roof surface. The generation of electric energy at the east-facing PV array is larger than that at the west-facing PV array. The electrical energy generation for the city of Le Port on the coast is higher than that for the cities of Cilao, and Plaine des Cafres that are located in the mountains of Réunion.

This paper predicts relationship between array performance and surrounding ambient including installation conditions for PV array installed on building walls. A PV system assumed for calculation is a PV array installed on the north, south, east and west walls of a building which was constructed as a NEDO field-test project. In the case of performance simulation for the actual PV system, calculated performance generally agrees with real measured data. Based on them, produced electrical energy is simulated as a function of ground albedo, array tilt angle and space between the PV array and the wall for installation. In addition, shading effect on produced electrical energy is also estimated by assuming some neighboring buildings. Effect of sub-array installation on different walls on DC power output is also estimated.

Permintaan energi listrik mengalami peningkatan, seiring peningkatan pertumbuhan populasi penduduk dan banyaknya industri. Tingginya permintaan energi listrik menjadi sebuah tantangan untuk produsen listrik, dalam memenuhi kebutuhan pelanggan akan energi listrik. Produsen listrik terbesar di Bali adalah PT. Indonesia Power UP Bali. Pembangkit yang dimiliki yaitu PLTDG dengan kapasitas produksi listrik 200 MW dioperasikan menggunakan bahan bakar gas LNG dan minyak solar (HSD/LFO). Dikarenakan penggunaan minyak solar dibatasi, maka PLTDG dioperasikan dengan gas LNG. Perbedaan bahan bakar yang digunakan mempengaruhi unjuk kerja dari pembangkit. Analisa unjuk kerja memberi gambaran dalam sisi keteknikan dan analisa BPP pembangkitan memberi gambaran dalam sisi keekonomian. Penelitaian ini dilakukan dengan cara perhitungan menggunakan persamaan-persamaan unjuk kerja mesin diesel, kemudian dibandingkan unjuk kerja PLTDG menggunakan bahan bakar LNG dan minyak solar dan dianalisa secara keekonomian. Hasil yang didapat yaitu unjuk kerja PLTDG menggunakan minyak solar lebih besar tetapi dari sisi keekonomian hasil BPP PLTDG menggunakan gas LNG lebih ekonomis. Demand for electric energy has increased, as population growth increases and the number of industries. The high demand for electrical energy becomes a challenge for electricity producers, in meeting the needs of customers for electrical energy. The largest power producer in Bali is PT. Indonesia Power UP Bali. The power plant owned by PLTDG with 200 MW electricity production capacity is operated using LNG gas and diesel fuel (HSD/LFO). Due to the use of diesel fuel is limited, the PLTDG is operated with LNG gas. The difference in fuel used affects the performance of the plant. Performance analysis gives an overview in terms of engineering and BPP analysis provides an overview of the economy side. This research is done by calculation using diesel engine performance equation, and then compared the performance of PLTDG using LNG and diesel fuel and analyzed economically. The results obtained are the performance of diesel powered PLTDG larger but in terms of economics of BPP PLTDG results using LNG gas is more economical.
