Hybrid energy systems have the potential to bring modern energy services to the 17% of the global population with no access to electricity. The use of diesel generators to provide power for such applications has been the standard for several decades, but due to decreasing prices of photovoltaics, hybrid systems are becoming more common. As a special challenge expanding existing diesel generators with...
