Thanks CC Fowler,
In my original post the system size was described as a 5 MW system with a 1 MW PV system and the system was loaded 70% what would the heat rate degradation be as the 1 MW PV output was pulsed due to intermittant cloud cover.
The system consistes of 2.2MW and 1 MW diesel gens...
Thanks for the posts,
No doubt that all of the energy will come from either the PV system, or the engines. The idea, somewhat similiar to a hybrid vehicle, is to allow the combustion technology to operate at optimal conditions for the maximum amount of time and therefore the most efficent heat...
Hello,
I am looking for data that provides information on the degradation to an engine's heat rate during ramping up or down. In particular I am looking at micrgrid systems with a limited number of generators operating with a higher penetration level of intermittant renewables. I am quantifying...
