| Summary: | The increase of energy demand in this era leads exploration of new renewable energy sites. Renewable energy
offers multiple benefits; hence it is suitable to be harnessed to meet power needs. In Sarawak, exploitation
of hydro energy is a very feasible potential due to the abundant river flows and high rainfall volume. Thus,
in this paper, 155 potential Hydro Energy Sites (HES) are identified and divided into six districts using a
raw and unprocessed data provided by Sarawak Energy Berhad (SEB). Since there are no similar researches
previously done for identification and integration of hydro energy sources, in this paper, two stage complex data
management was built using 155 HES locations in Sarawak. New spatial mapping technique were used for the
first stage. From the new spatial mapping technique, the mapped data were categorized into groups, analysed
and created new accurate mapping locations on the Sarawak map in terms of the districts using GIS Spatial
tools. Their exact geographical locations were identified, and their coordinate systems have been retrieved as
complete final data with geo-referencing technique in QGIS with ID numbers. Moreover, the power capacity
of each location of all the 155 HES was quantified. By employing this data, the identified locations have been
integrated into the already created 155 HES sites. For the second stage, a new two-part AI hybrid approach has
been proposed and applied to improve optimal transmission line routing for each district to locate transmission
line paths. The first part of hybrid AI implemented in this paper was TSP-GA and second part implemented in
this paper was based on improved fuzzy logic with TSP-GA together. To ensure the optimal results are reliably
achieved, both first part of TSP-GA and second part of improved fuzzy TSP-GA are utilized to generate the
transmission line routing. These two approaches are required to obtain the minimal values of total distance and
total elevation difference of each HES. Based on the benchmarking results, fuzzy TSP-GA successfully improved
12.99% for Song district, 7.52% for Kapit district, 3.71% for Belaga district, 1.54% for Marudi district, 18.01%
for Limbang district, 11.00% for Lawas district when comparing against the ordinary TSP-GA approach. |
