Abstract

This paper is dedicated to a comprehensive analysis of hybrid energy options, with a specific focus on exploring their economic and environmental advantages within the context of an ice cream factory located in Fukuoka, Japan. The study takes a holistic approach, delving into various facets such as power generation, energy expenses, and related factors to uncover the potential benefits associated with specific configurations of hybrid energy solutions. The analysis presented in this study serves as a valuable tool for assessing the impact of different power generation technologies and energy management strategies. It sheds light on how these choices can influence not only the factory's operational costs but also its environmental footprint. By quantifying these effects, the study provides critical insights
that can guide decision-makers toward more sustainable and economically sound energy solutions. As a forward-looking application approach, this research envisions the utilization of a PV-wind-diesel-grid-electrolyzer power system. This hybrid configuration serves as a versatile platform for conducting simulation studies, allowing for the exploration of a wide spectrum of potentially viable solutions. The insights derived from these simulations not only facilitate informed decision-making but also pave the way for anticipating and strategically planning future energy implementations. In essence, this study represents a proactive and data-driven approach to energy optimization, offering the ice cream factory in Fukuoka a roadmap to harnessing the benefits of hybrid energy systems, ultimately contributing to both economic efficiency and environmental sustainability. So, at a cost of energy (COE) of 18.313¥ per kWh, this arrangement stands out as an economically advantageous and environmentally friendly solution for the electrification of the ice cream factory.
