“…Demand profiles were made using year 2016 and 2017 load data sets collected during the KIST site visits. Variations in temperature were taken for the remaining months and the corresponding average load was scaled accordingly [13]. The load growth was based on sensitivity analysis in the HOMER software as shown in Table 6.…”

This study reflects two photovoltaic (PV) power generations, at Karume Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) -Zanzibar and The Nelson Mandela African Institution of Science and Technology (NM-AIST) -Arusha in Tanzania.The output data sets from each site were verified for possible PV simulation of different operational scenarios to obtain the optimum design configuration. The HOMER software was used to analyze the entire operation of the system. The effect of the accuracy of the photovoltaic integration was determined by analysis of different operational behaviors of the simulated PV levels. Furthermore, the overall performance of the station per site was analyzed for technical, economic and environmental constraints as well as their comparative cost-benefit analysis. The study finds that there is a high sensitivity in the demand for the load (i.e. load growth) whose system performance is characterized with minimum: total net present cost (NPC) of $474,745 and $29,169, feed in tariffs, levelized cost of energy (LCOE) of $1.06/kWh and $0.0118/kWh, total energy output and renewable fraction of 15% and 22% for KIST and NM-AIST respectively, thus support the use of photovoltaic power sources in the generation of energy than their counterpart alternatives because of the best technical performance and is less dependent on other external sources of energy, and simultaneously has good economic and environmental performance

Stand-alone hybrid power generation system for a cow farm in Jordan is economically and technically optimized to meet the daily electrical load of the farm. A combination of photovoltaics, biogas generators, diesel generators, wind turbines, and batteries are used to determine the best scenario for the farm's power generation. In accordance with the price and technical data of the components, the systems were first studied technically and economically, and then simulated using hybrid optimization model for multiple energy resources (HOMER) software to identify the best configuration. Several options were analyzed to determine the best configuration. The optimized hybrid system includes photovoltaics, a biogas generator, batteries, and a diesel generator. The optimum configuration had a levelized cost of energy of $0.06 per kWh and a net present cost of $2,100,000. The renewable fraction of the total system electrical yearly production was 94%. Furthermore, the results showed that the optimized hybrid system could reduce the emitted gasses by about 92%.

“…Power generation from combinations of renewable energy sources like wind, sun, and biomass is the subject of numerous ongoing projects. The development of hybrid-system architectures to manage wind, solar, and biogas energy minimizes limitations due to availability and reliability [1,2]. Indeed, both wind and sunlight are unpredictable renewable energies, and energy harvesting is necessary, which can be compensated by anaerobic digestion processes in fermenters [3,4].…”

Direct Methanation and Storage Concepts for the Flexibilization of Biogas Plants

et al. 2022

Enrichment of the methane fraction in a biogas mixture is an innovative possibility to make existing biogas plants more flexible by using excess power. In the described concept, the CO2 in the biogas is directly catalytically converted into CH4 with H2. The CH4‐enriched biogas is again fed into the digester to save energy for later use in the combined heat‐and‐power unit. Additionally, the fed heat gas can mix and heat the substrate. A heat pipe injector system was therefore developed for cooling the hot biogas stream after methanation and to prevent damage to the microbial consortia during the biomass mixing. The concept was proven at a laboratory‐scale biogas plant.
