Karimunjawa is a small and remote archipelago in Indonesia. It has a population of 9,242 people which are the main profession as fishermen. They have the main problem in ice block’s provision to keep their fish fresh so that they can sell it at a good price. Also, like another remote island, they face lack of electricity because electricity in Karimunjawa is mainly supplied from the diesel-based generator. This study aims to provide a smart micro-grid system based on local renewable energy resources which have to provide independent and sustainable energy to supply fishermen’s ice maker machine. Based on design and optimization using HOMER software, sustainability of fuel, and operational consideration, for 2kW ice maker machine, we get the capacity for each component is 5 kWp PV, 3 kW bio-based diesel engine, 5 kW converter and 16 batteries. And from the performance evaluation, it is can run smoothly and supply power to the loads without trouble.
