Abstract
Eastern side of Indonesia has a group of scattered Islands and have a great distance from the main Island. Fossil fuels are the main option for meeting the needs of electrical energy in the outer Islands. But the availability of fossil fuels is very dependent on the weather and modes of transportation. In addition, fossil energy also causes emissions and environmental pollution, so efforts to diversify alternative energy by utilizing renewable energy are needed to meet energy needs. Ut Island, Maluku is one of the Islands which is not yet powered by utilities. In this paper, the HOMER software is used to determine the optimal hybrid power plant configuration from a techno-economic perspective by utilizing energy resources available on the Island. From the simulations that have been carried out wind speed has a significant influence on the optimal configuration of the PLH system. Load value affects the amount of NPC and COE. The greater the load is fulfilled, the higher the NPC. But contrary to NPC, COE value will decrease.
