Abstract

In this thesis, the simulation of choosing the best configuration and type of renewable energy used at 2 different countries with different climate is carried out. A comparison is made for the same network at two different countries which is Denmark and Malaysia. Malaysia has initiated various research and implementation of renewable energy farm, so this report is contributes to help in enhancing the renewable energy in Malaysia. Due to some restriction in obtaining a detailed Malaysia grid from TNB, Denmark grid is used and just implemented with the Malaysian climate. Next, the climate for Malaysia is also shown in the report, however, it only focus on wind speed and also solar irradiation. This 2 types of renewable energy, which is wind and solar energy is used it is much reliable than geothermal or biomass where it does not need any burning of renewable resources or finding one location for harvesting the renewable energy. Furthermore, the most suitable renewable energy that can be harvested in Malaysia will be chosen. Next there will be a comparison of energy storage system, which the energy storage system is listed and chosen for implementing in Malaysia only. Furthermore, the calculation of active power and number of the WT and PV panels is included in the thesis. Next, the configuration of installing the WT and PV is named as follow, Pure Wind Turbine, Pure Solar Panel and also Hybrid. This 3 different configuration has different number WT and PV used. Furthermore, the simulation grid, transient results and discussion on the comparison between 3 configurations is also included in this thesis. Lastly, the most suitable renewable energy and configuration for Malaysia is also discuss on the thesis.
