dc.description.abstract	In this paper, optimal scheduling and energy management concepts are used to demonstrate the operational cost saving achievable using multiple paralleled diesel generators over a “Single” diesel generator unit for supplying small loads not connected to the grid. These two supply options are modelled and simulated using Matlab. From the two case studies undertaken, the simulation results show that using multiple connected small diesel generators instead on a single large one is a better option be considered for standalone power generation.	en_US
