Part 1: Diesel generators are quite common in African regions because of their durability and low upfront cost: just $250/kW for a device that can run almost all the time! Compute the LCOE of a 2 kW diesel system that is 15% efficient. Assume they use a 2 kW system to meet peak demand, can buy diesel fuel at $1.2/Liter, and use a CCF of 0.1. Describe your approach to the problem in about 100 words (1 point), and give your answer (1 point) in dollars per kWh. Compare the LCOE of the diesel system to that of the solar+battery system described earlier in this section (1 point).
