Checking the Feasibility of Hybrid Solar PV-Biomass Power Plant in Rajasthan
Journal Title: International Journal of Electrical and Electronics Engineering Research (IJEEER) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
In today’s scenario, where the adverse effect of energy scarcity is clearly visible, there is a dire need for sustainable energy sources. Electricity is an essential part of our daily life and we are getting short of it, so we are now moving toward renewable energy. Solar energy is available for limited number of hours and prices of biomass vary widely. Hybridization of solar energy with biomass energy complements each other, both seasonally and diurnally, to overcome their individual drawbacks and result is continuous and uniform supply of electricity. Rajasthan receives solar radiation of 6-7 kWh/m2 according to data taken from NREL (National Renewable Energy Laboratory) and is blessed with bulk surplus quantity of biomass all around. Major biomasses in Rajasthan that are used for generating electricity are Julie Flora, Guar Stalks, Cotton Stalks and Mustard Husk. By Hybrid Solar PV-Biomass plant, operation range can be increased from 06:00 hours to 22:00 hours. The main objective of this paper is to find best configuration of standalone Solar-Biomass energy system in terms of optimum sizing and minimum Total Net Present Cost (NPC) and minimum Cost of Energy (COE).
