“…Also, SWTs operate at lower wind speeds than larger wind turbines and this facilitates vast applications globally since low wind exists in larger global regions than high wind. There is a saying from SWT users (Palanichamy et al, 2014-1) that SWTs produce costlier electricity than their utility-scale counterparts (large wind turbines), which is true only in poor windy sites. However, when aimed to particular wind sites, and commissioned effectively through long-term precise wind site assessment, SWTs can be a dependable renewable energy source and socioeconomic benefit to secluded regions without electricity.…”

“…Hike in land price and insufficient financial provisions, and unattractive energy buyback rates are the other critical issues for the slow growth rate, especially in developing countries (IEA-ETSAP and IRENA, 2016). Besides, long and unpredictable waiting times for permission and authorization of wind farm formation, and delayed payment of the buyback energy cost to the suppliers are a further hindrance for large scale implementations (Palanichamy et al, 2014-1).…”

The global market for wind turbines has kept on emerging in the former decade. The large wind turbines have all advanced over the years to such a degree, to the point that the innovation is significantly developed. Whereas, the technology for small wind turbines has not fully-fledged like the large wind turbines due to the absence of such methodical research and development. Within a short span, a base development rate of 12% is foreseen to proceed due to advanced research, and the productiveness is predicted to reach around 1.9 GW by 2020. Since, a major portion of the globe is not having sufficient wind potential, the use of small wind turbines provides the exclusive opening of entering an untapped market without any environmental degradation. As Malaysia is promoting renewable energy sources for economic and environmentally friendly energy sustainability, this research aims at introducing small wind turbine technology because of its prevailing low wind speed. The future of the small wind turbines in Malaysia depends upon the capital cost per kW of the small wind turbine installation and the energy cost per kWh of the energy produced. Hence, keeping these two factors in mind, small scale wind turbines are designed using a blade element momentum theory based on the prevailing average wind speed in Malaysia.

“…As energy conservation is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly option (Aan et al, 2017;Bozkurt and Destek, 2015), Curtin recognized the way that advancing energy conservancy through energy administration program is the convenient measure to be taken after to conspiring and controlling Curtin's energy costs. To build up an energy administration program, energy audit assumes a critical part (David et al, 2011;Chinnasamy et al, 2015;Palanichamy et al, 2015;Tang, 2012). Energy audit analyzes the energy consumption of the equipment or framework or structures to guarantee that energy is being utilized proficiently through a visual investigation of the premises (Walk-through audit) and furthermore through information accumulation, execution estimation of the current frameworks, and survey of useful practices (Detailed audit) (Energy Savings Toolbox, 2015;Palanichamy and Babu, 2005;Wang et al, 2013).…”

Curtin University Malaysia, a significant education service provider in Sarawak state has been identified as one of the foremost electrical energy consumers in the state. Though past studies made on the Curtin campus brought out attainable suggestions, and they were subsequently implemented, still the per capita energy consumption needs to be reduced further. Hence, this situation necessitated an in-depth energy audit to determine how and where the energy is being consumed economically and efficiently or wasted instead. This paper aims at energy conservation measures based on a comprehensive load profile study conducted on the university campus. Based on the findings of the study, cost-effective and time-bound energy conservation tactics are suggested for scheming and controlling Curtin's colossal energy expenses.

“…Among the mentioned studies, only a few concentrated on wind energy. However, these studies investigated specific factors such as wind speed distribution and spatial models [19]; particular aspects such as political and regularity support [20], and technical issues [21,22]. None of these studies contains a comprehensive review of all factors related to wind potentialities and other wind energy aspects, such as wind forecasting, mapping, turbine designs, and optimal sizing of hybrid renewable sources.…”

In recent years, wind energy has gained extensive attention in the recent years in various countries due to the high energy demand of energy and shortage of traditional electric energy sources. Because wind energy constitutes a cost effective and environmentally friendly source, it can significantly contribute toward the reduction of the ever-increasing carbon emissions. It is one of the fastest growing green technologies worldwide, with a total generation share of 564 GW as of the end of 2018. In Malaysia, wind energy has been a hot topic in both academia and green energy industry. In this paper, the current status of wind energy research in Malaysia is reviewed. Different contributing factors such as potentiality and assessments, wind speed and direction modeling, wind prediction and spatial mapping, and optimal sizing of wind farms are extensively discussed. This paper discusses the progress of all studies related to wind energy and presents conclusions and recommendations for improving wind energy research in Malaysia.
