A Feasible Proposal for Small Capacity Solar Power Generation at Phu Quoc, Viet Nam

Abstract

Solid The objective of this paper is to investigate the feasibility of solar power generation using a roof PV and grid connection in Phu Quoc by using a top-down approach combined with Vietnam’s Government policies to prove economic and technical feasibility. To do that, the author is based on the data on the development planning of Phu Quoc in the period 2020-2030, the database of Vietnam and the applications of the new technology of the world. The numerical research results show that the potential of solar power generation corresponds to the low, medium and high level of PV development scenarios of 229,174 GWh/year, 347,716 GWh/year and 585,719 GWh/year respectively. However, the PV generation project in Phu Quoc can reduce CO2 emissions corresponding to the three PV development scenarios are respectively 107,826 ton/year, 163,600 ton/year and 275,581 ton/year. In addition, this result can approve that the solar energy system in Phu Quoc is a highly feasible application in practice aiming to contribute to energy security and environmental protection.
