Techno-economic assessment of wind power generation feasibility in Sabang

Utilization of renewable energy in Aceh is still limited mainly to small-scale electricity through micro-hydro and solar power plants, accounting for less than 1% the composition. Sabang stands out as a region with significant wind potential, boasting speed 8 m/s an average density 537 W/m2 windiest 10% region. Therefore, explore viability harnessing energy, pre-feasibility study needed. This aimed assess techno-economic feasibility constructing plant generation by evaluating region's energy. The statistical method Weibull Distribution probability function was employed evaluate Wind Power Density (WPD), Turbine Capacity Factor, Energy Output. Additionally, economic analysis involved calculating Net Present Value (NPV), Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR), Internal Rate Return (IRR), Discounted Payback Period (DPP), Levelized (LCOE). results showed that exhibited favorable[UMN1] characteristics shape parameter (k) 1.6, (Vm) 7.9 m/s, scale (c) 9 m/s. These features classified class 6 WPD 735 watts/m2 at height 50 m, were categorized excellent. concluded using Enercon E-70 turbine hub 100m technically feasible. 9.3 11 reached 1213 W/m2, leading capacity factor 0.53 annual production (AEP) 64,876,560 kW. yielded promising projects. DPP value estimated 5.6 years, BCR 1.96, NPV amounted USD 14,434,994, IRR 17.9%, LCOE assessed 32.50/MWh. Considering all these indicators, it evident highly feasible financially viable
