Abstract
This study proposes a simulation model with practical constraints on the use of diesel engine and investigates the impact of adding the constraint of the minimum length of diesel operation time on total cost of hybrid power system, which is designed to supply power for a small village located in the east part of Iran. The results indicated that in the presence of the aforementioned constraint, total cost of hybrid power system increased by shortening diesel generator lifespan and growing diesel fuel consumption. The research did not find any specific uptrend or downtrend in battery lifetime by adding the mentioned constraint into the model. The study outcomes also specified that the surplus power of the hybrid power system inclined in the existence of the minimum length of diesel operation time constraint. The results demonstrated that one hour increment in the minimum length of diesel operation time left a remarkable part of generated renewable power as a surplus power.
