Matlab/Simulink simulation model of photo-diesel power supply system with intelligent control by B. V. Lukutin, D. I. Muravyev

“…With the help of the proposed model, it is possible to analyze and optimize the technical and economic indicators of DC power plants with the priority of the PPS contribution: reducing the consumption of diesel fuel and carbonation of the air reducing the cost of 1 kWh for the remote consumer and controlling the switching in the power plants as per logical conditions. The obtained technical and economic indicators of the PDPS using direct current are superior to similar systems based on alternating current due to an increase in the contribution of the PPS to the energy balance. …”
