“…Their study reports that households, which have cattle between 3 and 6 in number, can meet energy needs for cooking and electricity by using the proposed system with COE range 0.341 to 0.384 $/kWh at 0% capacity shortage. Mandal et al 152 investigated the techno‐economic analysis of a SA SPV/BM/DG hybrid system to supply electricity for 235 households in a remote village of Bangladesh. The proposed optimized hybrid system reduced CO 2 emission by 46% to 49% with least COE of 0.196 $/kWh as compared to kerosene or only DG system.…”

Summary Growth in global energy demand, with major fossil fuel consumption, has induced detrimental environmental and social impacts. Therefore, in recent years, technologies focused on renewable energy utilization, including biomass energy, have evolved to meet the energy requirements. Bioenergy‐based power generation systems are among the best‐unutilized configurations to diminish reliance on fossil fuels. However, it is difficult to select a biomass‐based configuration for economical, sustainable, and reliable power generation. Understanding different possible configurations of biomass‐based energy systems, design parameters, system research gaps, and integration challenges in biomass‐based energy systems are important for further development and propagation. This paper presents a critical review of biomass‐based different hybrid configurations with solar, wind, fuel cell, micro‐hydro, geothermal, and diesel generator, and various designing parameters, challenges, and gaps with future scope. To restrict the scope of the review, only the gasification and anaerobic digestion related biomass electricity generation systems are considered. The analysis indicates that the biomass‐based hybrid energy systems can provide an eco‐friendly and cost‐effective solution, especially for off‐grid rural electrification. The solar radiation, load demand, fuel price, capacity shortage, interest rate, wind speed, biomass quantity, and electricity rate are among the most critical designing parameters in biomass‐based energy systems. The study provides valuable information to designers, researchers, and policy makers on the latest design constraints and relevant policies relating to biomass‐based hybrid energy systems.

“…When considering a recovery factor of 0.7 and a "gas yield per kg of wet manure" of 0.036 m 3 /kg [35], the total biogas yield was determined at 78 m 3 /day. Finally, given that 0.73 m 3 of biogas is needed to produce 1 kWh of electricity [36], the total potential for producing electricity from the livestock manure produced on site was 107 kWh/day. As inputs for biomass resources, HOMER requires the cost of biomass, gasification ratio (GR), and lower heating value (LHV).…”

Traditional electrification methods, including grid extension and stand-alone diesel generators, have shown limitations to sustainability in the face of rural electrification challenges in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), where electrification rates remain the lowest in the world. This study aims at performing a techno-economic analysis and optimization of a pumped-hydro energy storage based 100%-renewable off-grid hybrid energy system for the electrification of Djoundé, which is a small village in northern Cameroon. Hybrid Optimization of Multiple Energy Resources (HOMER) software was used as an analysis tool, and the resulting optimal system architecture included an 81.8 kW PV array and a 15 kW biogas generator, with a cost of energy (COE) and total net present cost (NPC) of €0.256/kWh and €370,426, respectively. The system showed promise given the upcoming decrease in installation cost of photovoltaic systems. It will be viable in parts of SSA region but, significant investment subsidies will be needed elsewhere. The originality of this study can be emphasized in three points: (1) the modelling with the recently introduced pumped-hydro component of HOMER; (2) broadening sensitivity analysis applications to address practical issues related to hybrid renewable energy systems (HRES); and, (3) consideration of the agricultural sector and seasonal variation in the assessment of the electricity demand in an area of SSA.

“…It is environmentally friendly and thus lessens the effect of global warming. Despite the abundant renewable energy resources, many communities in Nigeria still live without access to electricity from the utility grid [3], [6]. In Nigeria, approximately 40% of the populations are connected to the national grid, leaving the rest (mostly living in rural areas) to biomass/fuel wood consumption.…”

“…Biogas and solar combination consists of a photovoltaic array integrated with a biogas generator, a battery bank, a charge controller and a DC/AC converter, which forms a better option for a remote area that is not connected to the grid and is a best solution to electrification of remote areas, where extension of national grid is not a cost effective option. Hybrid of biogas-solar energy provide reduction in complexity, maintain lowest unit cost, energy fluctuations due to deficiency of power supply probability with the help of proper design, advanced fast response, good optimization and control feasibility [1], [6], [8].…”

Hybrid biogas/solar renewable energy system is an electricity production system made up of combination of biogas and solar energy. This hybrid is considered to be best module because it is abundant and environmentally friendly due to the limited reserves of fossil fuels and global environmental concerns for the production of electrical power generation and utilization. This paper develops a general hybridized optimization model for biogas/solar system for electrical generation of Ade-Oyo in Ibadan, Oyo State. In this paper, a pig dug was used to prepare the digester materials for biogas energy while a Shockley diode principle was used for PV power model. Simulation was carried out using MATLAB software and the total power for the hybrid system is formulated. The result revealed that the total power generated by biogas/solar hybrid system is the addition of the power generated by the biogas energy and solar PV panel and is given as: . The result shows that that there is a positive relationship between the electrical energy/power generated with biogas/solar energy. This paper will be helpful in demonstrating the viability of biogas/solar energy for rural communities and remote areas
