DISTRIBUTION UTILITY-OWNED EMBEDDED 5MW AC SOLAR POWER A Feasibility Study
Journal Title: Engineering and Technology Journal - Year 2022, Vol 7, Issue 11
Abstract
Solar energy creates clean, renewable power from the sun and benefits the environment. Alternatives to fossil fuels reduce carbon footprint and greenhouse gases around the globe. Distribution system is a process by which electricity is transformed for the utilization of consumers. PELCO 1 conducted a Pre-Feasibility Study to determine and analyze the most viable Renewable Energy (RE) Technology to be developed in the franchise area, which resulted in the proposed development of an embedded 5MW AC solar power plant, and for the purpose of the application for Solar Energy Service Contract with the DOE. It will help, among others, in addressing the: (a) anticipated additional power demand, (b) reduction of the cost of power for the benefits of member-consumers, (c) further improvement of the technical and financial performance of PELCO I in compliance with the Performance Standards for Distribution Utilities set forth in the Philippine Distribution Code 2017 Edition (PDC); and (d) support on priority agenda of NEA and DOE consistent with the marching order of President Rodrigo R. Duterte of reducing the country’s dependence on fossil fuel.
