Study of renewable energy potential in Malaysia. In: 2011 IEEE Conference on Clean Energy and Technology (CET). IEEE, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, pp. 170-176. ISBN 978-1-4577-1354-5 (2011)



Abstract

Malaysia has many renewable energy sources that can be developed such as solar, wind, biomass, hydro, geothermal
and tidal wave. However, it is not yet widely developed. Since, energy is important, a national center for renewable energy resources database should be setup to bring together designers, engineers, architects and policy makers to use the actual data for implementing renewable energy projects. The objective of this study is to determine the most suitable renewable energy generation to be implemented in Malaysia from four obvious options available which are solar, wind, biomass and tidal wave.
A study has been conducted in several contributing factors
namely geographical distribution, technology involved and
economic analysis. The analysis has been done by gathering the related information and data from previous studies as well as and visits to sites and related authorities. The result of these analysis shows that biomass energy generation has the most encouraging potential to be developed in Malaysia as shown by evidences from the comparative study being made in this paper
