This paper examines the optimal integration of renewable energy (RE) sources, energy storage technologies, and linking Indonesia's islands with a high-capacity transmission “super grid”, utilizing the PLEXOS 10 R. 02 simulation tool to achieve the country's goal of 100% RE by 2060.

Could solar and wind be the backbone of Indonesia's energy transition?
However, advancements in energy storage technology, such as battery energy storage systems and grid-forming inverters, could enable solar and wind, together boasting a technical potential of 3.4 TW, to serve as the backbone of Indonesia's energy transition.
These findings underscore the potential of a strategic combination of RE, optimized energy storage, and grid enhancements to significantly lower costs and enhance energy security, offering valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders for Indonesia's transition to a sustainable energy future. 1. Introduction
Can energy storage be used together in Indonesia?
Several examples of the application of energy storage together applied in Indonesia. Canary Islands. The project aims to supply the e ntire island population with 100% renewable ene rgy as previously they relied heavily on conventional diesel fuel. This project is a hybrid wind power system with pumped hydro energy st orage.
Can wind and solar power be used in Indonesia?
On the other hand, wind and solar energy potential are enormous for energy generation in Indonesia. One of the barriers that hinder the use of both is their intermittent nature so that they are not economically profitable and can disrupt the existing power grid.
Can wind energy support a lighthouse in Indonesia?
Wind e nergy in Indonesia : Current status, potential, challenge, opportunities, and future policy. Indonesian Journal of Energy, 2(2), 65–73. (2014). Preliminary re search of using oc ean currents a nd wind energy to support lighthouse in small island, Indonesia.
On the other hand, wind energy development also has several challenges. First, although it has much (Hidayatno et al., 2019). In the process, the beginning of wind farm construction in Indonesia requires high costs because the equipment is still limited and also about t he land acquisition. The International
