solar diesel hybrid storage cost vs benefit calculation in Mauritius

Does energy storage reduce fuel consumption in hybrid microgrid systems?

The results in Fig. 7 show the importance of combination of renewable electricity generation (PV) and energy storage (batteries) in reducing fuel consumption in the hybrid microgrid systems. The larger the capacity of the energy storage, the lower the fuel consumption and emissions.

What is the optimum design for a hybrid system?

According to Bernal-Agustin et al. , the optimum design is usually carried out by minimizing the Net Present Cost (NPC) or the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) of a project using simulation and optimisation software tools available for hybrid systems.

Why do hybrid mini-grid systems need a photovoltaic genset?

This becomes more important for hybrid mini-grid systems when photovoltaic (PV) electricity generation and other renewable energies are included in the system as special attention is needed to limit the genset’s output power, to keep it within the recommended operating range.

How can diesel generators improve the performance of hybrid microgrids?

Improving the performance of diesel generators gives economic and environmental benefits for hybrid microgrids planning. Better interaction among diesel generators and renewable energy for rural electrification can be achieved using cost optimisation tools.

Why should you invest in Mauritius?

• Mauritius, as an integral part of the African Continent has excellent bilateral ties with African Countries. • Moreover, the local expertise of Mauritius in the energy sector coupled with the offering of its International Financial Centre can be leveraged upon for structuring and management of energy projects in Africa.

Can hybrid generators reduce fuel consumption?

As expected, using hybrid configurations (Genset/PV/battery) reduces the fuel consumption for the three scenarios as less energy is required from the diesel generators. It is shown that using SC7-Genset, PV, and Battery (Li-ion) could achieve the lowest fuel consumption, up to 20 % reduction in the HED scenario.
