Technical FAQs 4

Can a diesel generator be used as a photovoltaic system?

In combination, diesel generators and photovoltaic systems are very well suited to energy supply in areas with an unstable or non-existent mains supply. The additional use of solar energy reduces fuel consumption, which saves costs. Furthermore, the integration of a PV system brings a sustainable factor into the system.

Can a diesel generator be converted into a solar/diesel hybrid system?

For this reason, there is a clear financial justification for converting almost every diesel-powered system into a solar/diesel hybrid system. Every unused diesel kWh saves money. The combination of diesel generators with PV systems quickly pays for itself through the large savings in fuel costs.

How to optimize PV/diesel generator/fuel cell system?

Multi-objective optimization of PV/diesel generator/fuel cell system is studied. Operating reserve, emission and uncertainty are included in size optimization. Multi-objective crow search algorithm is proposed to solve sizing problem. Combination of PV, fuel cell and diesel generator leads to having an efficient system.

Can a diesel generator be used as a backup system?

In many off-grid applications, diesel generators (DGs) are used as backup systems. To have a clean, reliable and cost-effective energy system, optimal combination of renewable energy resources and DGs should be considered to simultaneously reduce CO2 emission, increase reliability and minimize energy generation cost.
