Hybrid PV - Diesel System

Dears,

I am new in SAM. I think my question might be very basic but I've searched for "diesel" and can not find any relevant topic. Pardon me if this has already been covered somewhere.

Anyway, I am trying to model a hybrid PV-Diesel System
Is there any way to model the Diesel Generator in SAM? Or should I model it as a grid and convert the fuel price to electricity price?

Thank you very much.

Dear Fajar,

SAM does not model hybrid power systems or off-grid power systems.

You may be able to do some creative modeling as you suggest to approximate such systems. You may also want to consider models designed for such systems, including HOMER and RETScreen.

Best regards,
Paul.
