The use of new and renewable energy in the supply of electrical energy is something that needs to be considered. The use of fossil energy such as coal and diesel will contribute to a very large level of emissions that can lead to an increase in global warming. But on the other hand, investment for the construction of new and renewable energy generators is still relatively expensive. To reduce losses on investment costs, it is necessary to study the locations where new and renewable energy plants will be built. Sebesi Island is one of the most remote islands in Indonesia and has beautiful beaches and extraordinary natural resources. However, currently, the supply of electrical energy is still using diesel generators. Higher fuel prices and shipping costs, increasingly scarce fossil energy sources and the resulting environmental effects are the factors behind this study. Options for non-fossil energy use need to be considered. This study examines the economic and environmental feasibility. The software used is HOMER with 3 scenarios, namely: Case 1: three diesel generators or existing generators (3DG) as the base case, case 2: 3DG-PV-WT hybrid, and case 3: 3DG-PV-WT-BAT hybrid. The simulation results based on an economic review show that case 3 has the lowest net present cost (NPC) and level of cost energy (COE) values, namely USD 912,180 and 0.281, respectively. These two parameters were able to reduce respectively 29.29 % and 29.22% of the base case. Meanwhile, from the environmental aspect, it shows that case 3 also has a very superior performance. This case can reduce gas emissions by 68 %. This means that case 3 is very feasible economically and environmentally to be implemented in Sebesi Island, Indonesia in the future.

Sebesi Island is one of the small islands in Indonesia. The island has the opportunity to become a famous tourist destination in the future. The island has a beautiful beach panorama. In addition, the island has a lot of natural potentials. To meet its electrical energy needs, the island still uses diesel generators supplied by the state electricity company. The limitations of fossil energy, fuel prices, and transportation costs, as well as the impact of the resulting emissions, are the factors behind the research. Auto-size diesel generator (ADG) is still involved in this research as a form of the energy transition. This study examines the economic and environmental feasibility. The software used is HOMER. The scenarios being modeled are 1. photovoltaic (PV)-biogas generator (GBi), battery (BAT), 2. ADG-PV-GBi-BAT, 3. PV-wind turbine (WT), GBi-BAT, 4. ADG-PV-WT-GBi-BAT, and 5. ADG. There are six parameters used in the economic and environmental assessment, namely net present cost (NPC), cost of energy (COE), operating cost (OC), the renewable fraction (RF), reduction of CO2 emissions, and reduction of fuel oil. All scenarios will be compared with scenario 5 (base case). The simulation results show that the first scenario has the most advantages over the other scenarios. This scenario can be the best recommendation for the implementation of a hybrid energy system (HES) on Sebesi Island, South Lampung, Indonesia.
