Operational impact of the complementarity between photovoltaic solar and biogas generation sources on distribution network systems

A Sustainable Business Framework Using Solar and Bio-Energy to Instate Incessant Power in Rural India: Optimal Scheduling, Smart Metering, and Economic Viability

“…. [2]- [15], [17]- [20], [22], [25], [40], [46] have stated to use biogas for power generation but that is either used as peak VOLUME y, xxxx power generation or as base power generation until the gas is fully utilised. Some of them used battery as backup power, which become expensive; while others don't have any plan for backup power.…”

“…Some of them used battery as backup power, which become expensive; while others don't have any plan for backup power. Some authors have shown that it is more economical if solar and/or wind is used in combination with biogas to form the micro-grid [3], [5], [7], [10]- [12], [14]- [16], [18], [20], [23], [46]; depending on the location type it is suitable to use wind , solar, biogas for power generation but what if the stored battery power is consumed, grid is not available for much time.Also, most of these microgrids require separate locations for both solar and biogas power plants, and this may increase the land need inciting added capital expense. Optimal sizing of the system with different renewable sources based on availability and demand using various multi-objective functions are shown in [1], [2], [5]- [7], [9], [10], [15], [16], [18], [19], [22], [47], [48], [50], [51] but there are no provisions for exigencies.…”
