This paper presents a data analysis of an islanded diesel-PV-battery system, placed in Somalia. Operation of each generator is observed, concerning the most relevant performance indicators. Analysis is carried out during the first 11 months of operation, from November 2015 to September 2016. Investigations are divided into two periods, according to a significant load variation due to the connection of a new distribution line to the power plant. Thus, a comparison on load demand sharing among generators is realized between the two periods. In conclusion, benefits in terms of fuel consumption, CO2emissions and money savings are presented.

Abstract

This paper presents a data analysis of an islanded diesel-PV-battery system, placed in Somalia. Operation of each generator is observed, concerning the most relevant performance indicators. Analysis is carried out during the first 11 months of operation, from November 2015 to September 2016. Investigations are divided into two periods, according to a significant load variation due to the connection of a new distribution line to the power plant. Thus, a comparison on load demand sharing among generators is realized between the two periods. In conclusion, benefits in terms of fuel consumption, CO2emissions and money savings are presented.
