Flexible Operation of Coal Generation – International experience and its application to Indonesia
This report reviews international experiences and mechanisms from Germany, Australia and UK, to incentivise owners of fossil fuel assets at risk of stranding to pivot to support security of supply. This document also discusses the planning for an orderly transition from coal to renewable energy that ensures timely solutions and efficient management. This is essential […]
Early Retirement of Coal Power Generation – International experience and its application to Indonesia
This paper discusses lessons learned in accelerating the phase out of coal which is a global challenge. The key lessons learned cover the aspects of auctions for payments, priority shift, and cost of renewable energy, and access to low-cost finance. These lessons are aimed to help Indonesia learn from other countries’ experiences and shape the […]
Local Content Requirement Study – Market analysis and supply chain assessment for domestic manufacturers of solar photovoltaic modules and batteries
This LCR study, first, explores the solar photovoltaic modules and batteries options for greening options. There are challenges in terms of the practice, regulation, and cost, while the use of solar modules and batteries that is increased significantly. This study focuses on the perspectives of local manufacturers on the level of local content requirement and […]
Study: Pricing Model for Renewable Energy Hybrid Plants – Renewable Energy Hybrids
This pricing model study examines the levelised cost of energy (LCOE) for various hybrid systems to understand the potential impacts on tariffs. It becomes a reference for the ministry in calculating the tariffs from various types of renewable hybrid plants. The LCOE represents how much it costs to generate one kWh of electricity and the […]
Technical Configurations for Various Topology on Commercial Hybrids in Indonesia – Renewable Energy Hybrids
This report explores four fundamental requirements for hybrid technical configurations operating in the most reliable and cleanest way using renewable energy, those are: flexibility, frequency control, voltage control, and energy management system. It also discusses the software MENTARI uses, which is HOMER Pro, to design and optimise the configurations of hybrid system from six technologies. […]
New Paradigm Paper: Electricity Planning in Indonesia
This is a continuation of MENTARI’s previous paper on a new paradigm for power sector policies in Indonesia. This new paradigm paper cover one of the three thematic papers that MENTARI contributes, which is improving the electricity system planning process in Indonesia. It starts with a stocktake of the current national electricity planning process, then […]
Kajian Biaya Pengelolaan Limbah PLTS dan Baterai (Study of the Cost Management of PLTS and Battery Waste)
This document examines the waste management costs of PLTS and battery waste, specifically conducting case studies on three islands in East Nusa Tenggara, namely Flores Island, Sumba Island and Timor Island. Furthermore, this document summarizes regulations related to PLTS waste management, identifies PLTS waste management solutions, provides recommendations for waste management plans and policy improvements, […]
Technology Pool Assessment – Solar PV, BESS and Fuel Cell
In this report, MENTARI together with the MEMR and PLN show the result of conducting a technology pool database with the technology assessment that provides reference for developers, government departments and utilities seeking to understand the characteristics, performance and advantages or disadvantages of the various technologies. Technology Pool Assessment – Solar PV BESS and Fuel […]
International Lessons Learnt on Developing a National Hydrogen Roadmap
This report is the last part of a series of five hydrogen reports. First, it focuses on developing a hydrogen roadmap, learning from the UK and other countries. Second, it assesses different mechanisms to establish a hydrogen economy, unlocking investment in the development of hydrogen. This study indicates how a hydrogen strategy can be developed […]
Indonesia’s National Positioning in the Global Hydrogen Economy
This report learns how the global hydrogen trade is projected to developed and where Indonesia is positioned within that hydrogen trade, and how Indonesia compares against its regional competitors. It also explains how versatile hydrogen is, but there are some challenges to that. Many countries decarbonise in order to maximise electrification to strengthen energy security […]
