Design of a Reliable Hybrid (PV/Diesel) Power System with Energy Storage in Batteries for Remote Residential Home

Table 6

Comparative emissions of hybrid power and stand-alone generator supply systems.

Configuration	Pollutant emission (kg/yr)						Fuel consumption (L/yr)	Operational hour of diesel generator (hr/yr)
	CO2	CO	UHC	PM	SO2
PV + generator + battery	15,052	37.2	4.12	2.8	30.2	332	5,716	5,011
Generator + battery	24,183	59.7	6.61	4.5	48.6	533	9,183	5,298

Note: PM refers to total particulate matter. UHC refers to unburned hydrocarbons.
