I'd like to ask how can I use SAM to design and simulate the Energy Yield as well as the economic analysis either for PV-diesel, or PV-wind-diesel hybrid systems? Please, Does anyone has run a similar simulation?
SAM is not designed to model diesel hybrid systems or off-grid power systems. There are some ways to approximate those systems. HOMER is a model better suited to modeling hybrid power systems with generators than SAM.
It's will be a great pleasure if you can tell where I can find the examples in SAM of approximation the off-grid PV systems either with battery or diesel?
