Hybrid Microgrid Dispatch Chart

Off-grid villages increasingly run on hybrid systems that blend solar panels, wind turbines, a battery bank and a diesel generator into one dispatch stack, exactly like the solar-wind-battery-diesel example described in mysimulator.uk's guide to hybrid energy systems. This simulator lets you size all four components for a 40-household village and then runs a full simulated week of hourly dispatch — solar and wind first, battery second, diesel only as a last resort — rendered as a live 2D stacked-energy chart you can drag to pan and scroll to zoom into any hour, with a battery state-of-charge line riding above the supply stack and a moving playhead. Live readouts track solar, wind, load, battery SOC and diesel status hour by hour, while week-level totals report unmet-load hours, diesel fuel burned and a simplified levelized cost of energy — so you can feel directly how undersizing the battery trades off against burning more diesel fuel, and how much storage it actually takes to ride out a calm, cloudy evening.
