Photovoltaic-Biomass Gasifier Hybrid Energy System for a Poultry House
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 8
Abstract
Availability and sustainability of energy and food production are the biggest challenge facing the world. Find out how to integrate poultry and animal farms with renewable energy technologies will lead to a greater energy security and food production.The main objective of this paper is to obtain the optimal suited configuration of a hybrid renewable energy system from various combinations to meet the poultry house load requirement reliably, economically, continuously and sustainably. This paper presents an optimal design of hybrid solar PV-biomass gasifier system to fulfill the requirements of 250 kWh/day primary loads with 19 kW peak load for poultry house located at El-fayoum governorate, Egypt. Using HOMER simulations, the optimal sizing of solar photovoltaic (PV) and biogas generating system is obtained on the basis of the minimized cost of the obtained energy (COE) generation, HOMER results show that the solution is sustainable and techno economically viable. The simulation results show that PV (12 kW) - biomass gasifier (20 kW) - battery (270 kWh) hybrid system is most economically feasible with a least cost of energy about $0.224/Kwh. Also, this system is characterized by the minimum percentage of carbon dioxide and the other greenhouse gases emissions.
