Solar-powered containerized automated system compared to diesel generator

Why should you choose a diesel generator based on a photovoltaic system?

Intelligent technology ensures optimum interaction between the photovoltaic system and the diesel generator. This guarantees that as much solar energy as possible is used and that the diesel generator operates at various degrees of utilisation at the most advantageous operating points.

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 does solar power reduce reliance on DGS?

The goal is to maximize the use of solar power to reduce reliance on DGs, thereby lowering fuel consumption and emissions. The DGs provide the necessary backup power, ensuring a continuous energy supply when solar power is insufficient (e.g., during nighttime or cloudy days).

What is a hybrid PV and diesel generator (D-HS) system?

Table 2 presents the technical specifications of a hybrid PV and diesel generator (D-HS) system, which integrates PV arrays, a diesel generator, and an inverter to generate and manage energy. The PV array has a nominal maximum power of 300 W, with a maximum power voltage of 37.02 V and a maximum power current of 8.11 A.
