Prospect of renewable energy utilization in a Indonesian city through microgrid approach

Indonesia is a developing country which has an increasing yearly energy consumption, particularly in cities. This paper describes the study of renewable energy expansion for an urban area in Indonesia. The goal of the study is to propose a recommendation utilizing local renewable energy resources in a city using Jakarta as the model. First, literature survey summaries as the foundation research is presented in this paper. Finally, a microgrid concept to overcome energy needs particularly electricity and urban problems by exploiting local potentials in a developing city is proposed.
