Abstract:
The present paper reviewed the studies of the hybrid solar-biomass power plants. Based on renewable energy, several configurations of hybrid power cycles are discussed and summarized. It includes the technical, economical, and environmental aspects of the hybrid solar-biomass plant, how the hybrid power plant works, and the essential resources required for the setup and running of the hybrid solar biomass plant. The advantages and disadvantages associated with the single renewable resource-based power plants are also discussed. The hybrid power plants help rectify the disadvantages over single resource plants, improve the power production rate of the plant, and help it run over seasonally. The present paper also discussed the solar and biomass potential in the Indian context and compared the progress of the hybrid solar-biomass power generation system with other countries.

Abstract:
Drying of agriculture product is energy intensive and traditional open sun drying is associate with many problems. Use of solar dryer is one of the alternative options. However, it is problematic in rainy and cloudy days. In order to measure the efficiency of solar/biomass hybrid dryer was proposed. A solar/biomass hybrid dryer was fabricated in RECAST Lab. Wood blocks were used as fuel for the gasifier stove. Biomass burning gasifier stove was integrated with solar dryer as an auxiliary heat source through a heat exchanger. The hybrid system of biomass with solar dryer ensures to provide continuous heat when needed. Due to the intermittent nature of sun, especially in rainy or cloudy season, food materials being processed get spoiled. A hybrid solar/biomass drying system solve such problems. Experiments were conducted to test performance of hybrid solar dryers by drying chili and banana. During the load test, conducted for chili, 16 kg of ripen chili with initial moisture content 72.58% (w. b.) was dried to moisture content of 7.13% (w. b.) in 20 hours. The result indicated that drying of chili was faster, within 20 hours (2 days), in natural sunny weather, against 48 hours (5 days) in open sun drying during April, in Kathmandu. Overall efficiency of drying system was found to be 4.29%.

Abstract:
The energy used in the built-up environment represents at least 40% of the total energy consumed, out of which, at least 60% is required for heating, cooling and domestic hot water (DHW). Within the European Union, more than 6,000 communities (i.e. over 9%) use district heating systems, the majority of which use the conversion of fossil fuels as a source of energy. This aspect, which is corroborated by the directives of the EU legislation on the use of renewable energy sources and energy performance, imposes the development of new solutions through which the existing district heating systems may be adapted to use renewable energy sources. The solar-thermal systems that are used on a large (district) scale are becoming more and more efficient from the point of view of their feasibility; however, it is almost impossible to create systems that should satisfy the thermal energy demand throughout the four seasons of the year. The hybrid solar-biomass system is becoming the applicable solution for the majority of the communities that have from this potential, since it can secure independence from the point of view of the use of thermal energy. This paper presents the design stages for the implementation of the hybrid solar-biomass systems with a view to identifying the optimal solutions for systems to be integrated into an existing district heating system. A case study (Taberei District in Odorheiu Secuiesc City), which provides a detailed description of the feasible technical solutions, is presented.

Abstract:
<abstract> <p>Renewable energy has grown in popularity in recent years as a solution to combat the effects of pollution on the environment. The main purpose of this research is to design a microgrid system in Lakshadweep Island to determine the cost and dependability of a solar photovoltaic system that is combined with biomass, wind energy and diesel generator. Two types of hybrid systems like solar/biomass generator/wind turbine and Solar/diesel generator/biomass are investigated to get an optimal solution using HOMER Pro software. The hybrid microgrid system is optimized with low cost of energy (COE) and less environmental pollution. The reliability indice like unmet load is determined for each case to access the performance of the system. The influence of different Weibull shape parameter in solar/biomass generator/wind turbine hybrid system with sensitive variation of solar irradiation and wind speed are discussed. The scheduling of diesel generator in solar/diesel generator/biomass generator with various scenarios are analyzed based on minimum net present cost. The optimization results shows that the solar/diesel generator/biomass hybrid system has low net present cost of 432513 $ and cost of energy of 0.215 $/kWh as compared to solar/biomass/wind turbine for the selected site location. The proposed solar/diesel generator/biomass system produces emission of 7506 kg/yr. The emission produced in Lakshadweep Island using the proposed model is reduced since this Island currently produces electricity mainly with diesel generators. The optimal sizing of various components in microgrid system is performed to get the optimal solution.</p> </abstract>

Abstract:
A solar biomass hybrid dryer intially designed with a front pass flat plate solar air heater and a biomass heating stove was redesigned, reconstructed in order to minimize the excessive convective heat losses and its performance re-evaluated. Due to poor design and contruction of the biomass heating and solar collector sections, the efficiency of the initial design was low. It is believed that the drying efficiency of the dryer could be enhanced if a back pass solar collector and a biomass heating stove incorporated with a gas to gas heat exchanger to ensure that the hot air reaching the samples is clean, smokeless and ash free, substitute for the original solar collector and biomass unit respectively in the improved version. The system’s drying performance was tested on both no load and full capacity load under different meteorological conditions within Nsukka (Lat. 7oN) for two weeks. The testing results showed that the incorporation of a new back pass solar collector and the heat exchanger enhanced the trays temperatures on no load test. Similarly, the efficiency of the dryer based on solar, biomass and solar-biomass heating in drying of fresh okra, fresh groundnut and fresh cassava chips increased from 5.19 – 16.04%, 0.23 – 3.34% and 1.636 – 8.96% respectively over the initial construction. This shows that the dryer can help improve the post-harvest processing and storage quality of farm produce by drying if further optimized.

Abstract:
Abstract Cashew nut farming in India is mostly carried out in small and marginal holdings. Energy consumption in the small scale cashew nut processing industry is very high and is mainly due to the high energy consumption of the drying process. The drying operation provides a lot of scope for energy saving and substitutions of other renewable energy sources. Renewable energy-based drying systems with loading capacity of 40 kg were proposed for application in small scale cashew nut processing industries. The main objective of this work is to perform economic feasibility of substituting solar, biomass and hybrid dryer in place of conventional steam drying for cashew drying. Four economic indicators were used to assess the feasibility of three renewable based drying technologies. The payback time was 1.58 yr. for solar, 1.32 for biomass and 1.99 for the hybrid drying system, whereas as the cost-benefit estimates were 5.23 for solar, 4.15 for biomass and 3.32 for the hybrid system. It was found that it is of paramount importance to develop solar biomass hybrid dryer for small scale processing industries.

Abstract:
Solar biomass gasification is an attractive pathway to promote biomass valorization while chemically storing intermittent solar energy into solar fuels. The economic feasibility of a solar gasification process at a large scale for centralized H2 production was assessed, based on the discounted cash-flow rate of return method to calculate the minimum H2 production cost. H2 production costs from solar-only, hybrid and conventional autothermal biomass gasification were evaluated under various economic scenarios. Considering a biomass reference cost of 0.1 €/kg, and a land cost of 12.9 €/m2, H2 minimum price was estimated at 2.99 €/kgH2 and 2.48 €/kgH2 for the allothermal and hybrid processes, respectively, against 2.25 €/kgH2 in the conventional process. A sensitivity study showed that a 50% reduction in the heliostats and solar tower costs, combined with a lower land cost of below 0.5 €/m2, allowed reaching an area of competitiveness where the three processes meet. Furthermore, an increase in the biomass feedstock cost by a factor of 2 to 3 significantly undermined the profitability of the autothermal process, in favor of solar hybrid and solar-only gasification. A comparative study involving other solar and non-solar processes led to conclude on the profitability of fossil-based processes. However, reduced CO2 emissions from the solar process and the application of carbon credits are definitely in favor of solar gasification economics, which could become more competitive. The massive deployment of concentrated solar energy across the world in the coming years can significantly reduce the cost of the solar materials and components (heliostats), and thus further alleviate the financial cost of solar gasification.

Abstract:
Performance of a tractor mounted solar-biomass hybrid dryer which utilise combined energy of solar and biomass was investigated. Drying behaviour of maize grains in the dryer was also investigated using 10 thin-layer mathematical models. The models were compared based on coefficient of determination (R<sup>2</sup>) and root mean square error (RMSE) values between experimental and predicted moisture ratios. Moisture content (MC) of grains in the dryer reduced from 19 ± 0.86% to 13 ± 0.4% (w.b.) in 5 h, compared to grains dried in open-sun which reached same MC in 15 hours. This resulted in average drying rate of 1.2 %·h<sup>–1</sup> compared to 0.4 %·h<sup>–1</sup> for grains dried in the open-sun leading to net savings in drying time of 67%. Overall mean temperature, 41.93 ± 2.7 °C in the dryer was 15.3 °C higher than the ambient temperature. Midilli Kucuk model was best to describe the thin-layer drying kinetics of maize in the dryer. It showed a good fit between the predicted and experimental data. The effective moisture diffusivity of grains dried in the dryer ranged between 1.45 × 10<sup>–11</sup> m<sup>2</sup>·s<sup>–1</sup> – 3.10 × 10<sup>–11</sup> m<sup>2</sup>·s<sup>–1</sup>. An activation energy of 96.83 kJ·mol<sup>–1</sup> was determined based on the Arrhenius-type equation.

Abstract:
This thesis examined solar thermal collectors for use in alternative hybrid solar-biomass power plant applications in Gujarat, India. Following a preliminary review, the cost-effective selection and design of the solar thermal field were identified as critical factors underlying the success of hybrid plants. Consequently, the existing solar thermal technologies were reviewed and ranked for use in India by means of a multi-criteria decision-making method, the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). Informed by the outcome of the AHP, the thesis went on to pursue the Linear Fresnel Reflector (LFR), the design of which was optimised with the help of ray-tracing. To further enhance collector performance, LFR concepts incorporating novel mirror spacing and drive mechanisms were evaluated. Subsequently, a new variant, termed the Elevation Linear Fresnel Reflector (ELFR) was designed, constructed and tested at Aston University, UK, therefore allowing theoretical models for the performance of a solar thermal field to be verified. Based on the resulting characteristics of the LFR, and data gathered for the other hybrid system components, models of hybrid LFR- and ELFR-biomass power plants were developed and analysed in TRNSYS®. The techno-economic and environmental consequences of varying the size of the solar field in relation to the total plant capacity were modelled for a series of case studies to evaluate different applications: tri-generation (electricity, ice and heat), electricity-only generation, and process heat. The case studies also encompassed varying site locations, capacities, operational conditions and financial situations. In the case of a hybrid tri-generation plant in Gujarat, it was recommended to use an LFR solar thermal field of 14,000 m2 aperture with a 3 tonne biomass boiler, generating 815 MWh per annum of electricity for nearby villages and 12,450 tonnes of ice per annum for local fisheries and food industries. However, at the expense of a 0.3 ¢/kWh increase in levelised energy costs, the ELFR increased saving of biomass (100 t/a) and land (9 ha/a). For solar thermal applications in areas with high land cost, the ELFR reduced levelised energy costs. It was determined that off-grid hybrid plants for tri-generation were the most feasible application in India. Whereas biomass-only plants were found to be more economically viable, it was concluded that hybrid systems will soon become cost competitive and can considerably improve current energy security and biomass supply chain issues in India.

Abstract:
The serious energy supply problems along with the conventional resources depletion and the environmental conscience regarding global warming and climate change, have urged the need for a complete change in the energy production, supply and consumption patterns. Therefore, the switch towards renewable energy resources including solar, biomass, wind, hydro-power in addition to the development of energy efficient technologies are two key factors to attain a secure and reliable energy sector and to mitigate the global warming problem. Tri-generation is one of the most promising technologies allowing the efficient simultaneous production of heat, coolth and power with potential technical, economic and environmental benefits. [n this work, an innovative micro-scale hybrid solar-biomass tri-generation system was theoretically and experimentally investigated to provide cooling, heating and power generation in buildings. The proposed tri-generation system consists of an organic Rankinebased combined heat and power unit, a liquid desiccant dehumidification unit and a dew point evaporative cooling unit. To offset recent problems associated with small-scale ORC expanders including high cost, excessive fluid leakage and low isentropic efficiency, a novel compact and low-cost moditied scroll expander was employed in the organic Rankine unit for heat and power generation. In addition, an efficient and compact liquid-desiccant unit coupled with a dew point evaporative cooler was utilized to provide the additional cooling capacity through air dehumidification and cooling. Moreover, a novel hollow fibre-based core was proposed in this thesis to provide thermal comfort and humidity control lIsing a ho))ow fibre contactor with mUltiple bundles of micro-porous ho))ow fibres. The proposed core was developed and tested as a cooling core and dehumidification core in the Built Environment Laboratory. An extensive theoretical and experimental investigation of the micro-scale tri-generation system was carried out to model, design, develop and test the system different sub-units under various operational conditions. It was shown that using a heat input of about 19.6 kW, the micro-scale tri-generation system is capable of providing about 9.6 kW heating, 6.5 kW cooling and about 0.5 kW electric power. The overall efficiency of the combined cooling, heating and power system is about 84.4%.

Abstract:
The need for modern energy systems to embrace the requirements of energy security, sustainability and affordability in their designs has placed emphatic importance on exploitation of renewable resources, such as solar and wind energy, etc. However, these resources often lead to reduced reliability and dispatchability of energy systems; less-efficient conversion processes; high cost of power production; etc. One promising way to ameliorate these challenges is through hybridization of renewable energy resources, and by using organic Rankine cycle (ORC) for power generation. Thus, this PhD research project is aimed at conceptual design and techno-economic optimization of hybrid solar-biomass ORC power plants. The methodologies adopted are in four distinct phases: - First, novel hybrid concentrated solar power (CSP)-biomass scheme was conceived that could function as retrofit to existing CSP-ORC plants as well as in new hybrid plant designs. Thermodynamic models were developed for each plant sub-unit, and yearly techno-economic performance was assessed for the entire system. Specifically, the ORC was modelled based on characteristics of an existing CSP-ORC plant, which currently operates at Ottana, Italy. Off-design models of ORC components were integrated, and their performance was validated using experimental data obtained from the aforementioned real plant. - Second, detailed exergy and exergoeconomic analyses were performed on the proposed hybrid plant, in order to examine the system components with remarkable optimization potentials. The evaluation on optimization potentials considered intrinsic irreversibilities in the respective components, which are imposed by assumptions of systemic and economic constraints. This has been termed enhanced exergy and enhanced exergoeconomic analyses here. - Third, the techno-economic implications of using siloxane mixtures as ORC working fluid were investigated, with the aim of improving heat transfer processes in the ORC plant. The studied fluid pairs were actively selected to satisfy classical thermodynamic requirements, based on established criteria. - Fourth, the biomass retrofit system was optimized multi-objectively, to minimize biomass consumption rate (maximize exergetic efficiency) and to minimize exergy cost rate. Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-II) was adopted for multi-objective optimization. The conceptual scheme involves parallel hybridization of CSP and biomass systems, such that each is capable of feeding the ORC directly. Results showed that the proposed biomass hybridization concept would increase both thermodynamic efficiency and economic performance of CSP-ORC plants, thereby improving their market competitiveness. Total exergy destroyed and exergy efficiency were quantified for each component, and for the whole system. Overall system exergetic efficiency of about 7 % was obtained. Similarly, exergoeconomic factor was obtained for each system component, and their implications were analysed to identify system components with high potentials for optimization. Furthermore, it was observed that thermodynamic performance of the hybrid plant would be optimized by using siloxane mixtures as ORC working fluid. However, this would result in larger heat exchange surface area, with its attendant cost implications. Lastly, biomass combustion and furnace parameters were obtained, which would simultaneously optimize exergetic efficiency and exergy cost rate for the hybrid plant. In sum, a novel scheme has been developed for hybridizing solar and biomass energy for ORC plants, with huge potentials to improve techno-economic competitiveness of solar-ORC systems.

Abstract:
This study aimed at evaluating and demonstrating the feasibility of using Concentrated Solar Thermal technology combined with biomass energy technology as a hybrid renewable energy system to supply the process heat requirements in small scale industries in Sri Lanka. Particularly, the focus was to apply the concept to the expanding hotel industry, for covering the thermal energy demand of a medium scale hotel. Solar modules utilize the rooftop area of the building to a valuable application. Linear Fresnel type of solar concentrator is selected considering the requirement of the application and the simplicity of fabrication and installation compared to other technologies. Subsequently, a wood-fired boiler is deployed as the steam generator as well as the balancing power source to recover the effects due to the seasonal variations in solar energy. Bioenergy, so far being the largest primary energy supply in the country, has a good potential for further growth in industrial applications like small hotels.  When a hotel with about 200-guests capacity and annual average occupancy of 65% is considered, the total annual CO2 saving is accounted as 207 tons compared with an entirely fossil fuel (diesel) fired boiler system. The annual operational cost saving is around $ 40,000 and the simple payback period is within 3-4 years. The proposed hybrid system can generate additional 26 employment opportunities in the proximity of the site location area.   This solar-biomass hybrid concept mitigates the weaknesses associated with these renewable technologies when employed separately. The system has been designed in such a way that the total heat demand of hot water and process steam supply is managed by renewable energy alone. It is thus a self-sustainable, non-conventional, renewable energy system. This concept can be stretched to other critical medium temperature applications like for example absorption refrigeration. The system is applicable to many other industries in the country where space requirement is available, solar irradiance is rich and a solid biomass supply is assured.

Abstract:
The use of solar thermal energy to drive both large and small scale power generation units is one of the prospective solutions to meet the dramatic increase in the global energy demand and tackle the environmental problems caused by fossil fuels. New energy conversion technologies need to be developed or improved in order to enhance their performance in conversion of renewable energy. The Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) is considered as one of the most promising technologies in the field of small and medium scale combined heat and power (CHP) systems due to its ability to efficiently recover low-grade heat sources such as solar energy. This technology is especially in demand in isolated areas where connection to the grid is not a viable option. The present research provides thermodynamic performance evaluation and economic assessment for a small-scale (10 kW) hybrid solar/biomass ORC power system to operate in the UK climate conditions. This system consists of two circuits, namely organic fluid circuit and solar heating circuit in which thermal energy is provided by an array of solar evacuated tube collectors (ETCs) with heat pipes. A biomass boiler is also integrated to compensate for solar energy intermittence. A dynamic model for the hybrid ORC power system has been developed to simulate and predict the system behaviour over a day-long period for different annual seasons. In the thermodynamic investigation, an overall thermodynamic mathematical model of the proposed power system has been developed. The calculation model of the ORC plant consists of a number of control volumes and in each volume the mass and energy conservation equations are used to describe energy transfer processes. The set of equations were solved numerically using a toolbox called Thermolib which works in the MATLAB/Simulink® environment. The numerical results obtained on the performance of the ORC plant were validated against the theoretical and experimental data available in the open literature. The predicted results were in very good agreement with the data published in the literature. The comparison demonstrated that the developed simulation model of the ORC plant accurately predicts its performance with a maximum deviation of less than 7%. The developed mathematical model then has been used to carry out the parametric analysis to investigate the effect of different operating conditions on the system performance. The economic analysis has been performed with the use of equipment costing technique to estimate the system’s total capital investment cost. This approach is based on the individual costing correlation of each component in the system, considering all the direct and indirect costs of the proposed components. The system cost calculations have been conducted for a range of operating parameters and different working fluids for a fixed value of net power output. At the final stage of the research, a thermo-economic optimization procedure has been developed using Genetic Algorithm (GA) approach for selection of the rational set of design parameters and operating conditions for optimum system performance.

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo principal apresentar a avaliação térmica, energética e financeira para um sistema de aquecimento de ar de um secador solar híbrido de produtos agroalimentícios, o qual utiliza como fonte de energia a energia solar e uma fonte de energia auxiliar. Dois tipos de fonte de energia auxiliar são utilizados, uma fonte utiliza biomassa como combustível e a outra utiliza energia elétrica. O sistema é composto por um coletor solar térmico, tipo placa plana de exposição indireta, uma fonte de energia auxiliar. O software TRNSYS é utilizado como ferramenta para executar as simulações, tendo como meta alcançar a temperatura do ar de 70°C na entrada da câmara de secagem. Os resultados são apresentados em função das temperaturas da placa absorvedora, do ar de saída do coletor solar e do ar de entrada na câmara de secagem e em função da quantidade de energia, por hora, fornecida para o ar de secagem pelo coletor solar (ganho de energia útil) e pela fonte de energia auxiliar. Calcula-se o custo horário da energia considerando a utilização da biomassa e da energia elétrica, resultando no custo da biomassa equivalente a 42,5% do custo da energia elétrica.Embora os custos com insumos sejam mais baratos para a utilização do sistema com biomassa, a implementação desse sistema é mais cara, sendo viável apenas em longo prazo. O retorno do investimento para o sistema com biomassa ocorre no quarto ano, enquanto que o sistema com energia elétrica obtém retorno no primeiro ano.
This work aim to perform thermal, energy and financial analysis for an air heating system of a hybrid solar dryer for agricultural products, which uses as energy source a combination of solar energy and an auxiliary power source. Two types of external auxiliary power source for energy are used, biomass and electric power. The dryer is composed by an indirect flat plate flat plate collector, an external energy source and a drying chamber. The software TRNSYS is used to run the hybrid solar dryer simulations. The simulations goal is for the system to achieve 70°C air temperature at the drying chamber inlet. The results are showed as a function of the absorber flat plate temperature, the solar thermal collector outlet air temperature and the drying chamber inlet air temperature as a function of the energy amount per hour supplied to the drying air by the solar collector (useful energy gain) and by the external auxiliary power source. The energy cost per hour is calculated by assuming each one of the sources, biomass and electric power. It resulted that biomass costs 42.5% of the electrical power total costs. Although the source material costs are cheaper for biomass usage, it implies higher implementation costs, thus requiring long range usage analysis to prove practicable. The biomass system return of investment occurs at the fourth year while at the electrical power system return of investment occurs at the first year.

Abstract:
Solar thermal energy and biomass fuels are often available at locations where they can benefit from combined hybrid energy utilization methods for the generation of electricity, representing suitable and advantageous integration alternatives. The feasibility of concentrating solar power (CSP) systems depends on cost limitations, desired installed power capacity and direct solar insolation, where smaller scales and low-cost solutions can often be preferred to large-scale investment-intensive installations. Biomass residues of various types, on the other hand, can be considered as proven fuels for small-to-midscale utility or industry based power or cogen arrangements and utilized through various technologies. The thermodynamic integration between a biomass fired power plant and a CSP unit can help to significantly increase the availability of the plant, improve its partial load characteristics, compensate for the intermittency of the solar energy resource while preserving the purely renewable profile of the generated electricity, and at the same time showing better overall performance when compared to two separate plants while avoiding the need for costly energy storage solutions. Biomass fuels can help reach better steam conditions in a steam plant based on CSP-generated steam, and thus improve the efficiency of energy conversion for the integrated hybrid system if compared with two individual single-fuel power units. In this study, an overview of feasible solar-biomass integration concepts is presented. A deeper thermoeconomic analysis of a selected integrated utility-scale biomass and CSP electricity generation plant is attempted, with certain simplifications. Furthermore, a multiobjective optimization strategy is regarded as very necessary and thus included in the analysis, where several major environmental aspects plus the cost of electricity are involved and defined in terms of desired parameters and conditions representative to Central Europe and Southeastern United States. The results are compared with conventional power generation alternatives. On that basis, a low-parameter CSP solution integrated with conventional biomass-fired combustion unit, where solar-generated steam is being superheated by the biomass fuel, has been chosen as the focus of the analysis in this study.
