This thesis proposes an analytical method using a lithium-ion battery and generator data to provide insights and planning into a hybrid genset's optimal operational load, peak shaving, and fuel consumption difference with a standalone genset. The overview analysis is between the standalone genset and a battery-fused diesel generator. Further investigations into other factors play a significant role in the results, including power output (%load), battery depth of discharge, battery charge and discharge time (number of operations in a day), battery total cycle and life span of the battery. A numerical simulation was carried out to monitor the hybrid genset operation, whereby the battery depths of discharge and the number of cycles were compared. Another simulation is performed to find the incremental results for a 135 Kw genset by varying the different battery depths of discharge and the generator load difference. The interpretation of the result is that the depth of discharge decreases while the number of battery cycles increases, which will also result in a longer life span of the battery but is subjective to the daily operation time and load on the system. The combined results proved that the battery units will always generate adequate efficiency support for gensets.
