“…A 50 kW PV-diesel hybrid system has been installed in the village of Campinas, of the scarcely and sparsely populated Amazonas state of the North region of Brazil since 1996, providing adequate power for a total of 120 households [19,20]. A further PV system of 20 kW was added to the existing diesel generator of the village of Araras of the nearby Rondonia state in the same region of Brazil, in 2001.…”

“…The Joanes Village of Para state, North Brazil have employed a PV system of 10.2 kW p and a total wind turbine generator standing at a capacity of 40 kW p to act as a complementary system to the grid during consumption peak times, as well as a standalone system, to 170 families in the region [20]. A simulation-based study has demonstrated that under reasonable energy, battery and load conditions, hybrid power systems are able to noticeably enhance energy supply stability over single PV or wind systems [24].…”

For remote underdeveloped and sparsely populated regions, the use of national power grids to provide electricity can be both unsustainable and impractical. In recent years, decentralised renewable power has gained popularity, endowing social benefits to the local inhabitants through clean rural electrification. However, power reliability and system autonomy are often the primary technical concerns as current systems are largely single source reliant. Hybrid power systems that utilise multiple complementary renewables can help to reduce the dependency on conventional unclean options. A few selected case studies for both single source and hybrid power systems are reviewed, analysing critical success factors and evaluating existing difficulties. The additional integration of the novel rain-powered kinetic-to-electric generator technology to the existing hybrid model is analysed. As with development in general, there is no one-size-fits-all solution to bringing power to remote communities and the most sustainable solution should be found through analysing local resources, environmental conditions and maximising local involvement.

“…It is further important to mention that only forced mode of operation for thermal heating is viable. Neto et al [16] have suggested biogas/photovoltaic hybrid power system for decentralized energy supply of rural areas. Also, Dubey and Tiwari [17] have presented a hybrid photovoltaic flat plate collector (hybrid PV water collector) for forced mode to produce electrical as well as thermal energy.…”

Abstract:In this paper, the energy balance equations for the different components of hybrid photovoltaic thermal (HPVT) biogas plant have been written for quasi -steady state conditions to develop a thermal model. An analytical expression for slurry temperature has been obtained as a function of design and climatic parameters namely mass of the slurry, mass flow rate of fluid in collector, number of collectors, solar intensity, ambient temperature etc. Numerical computations have been carried out for climatic conditions of Srinagar, India. Based on mathematical computations it has been observed that the optimum slurry temperature (~ 37 o C)is achieved for a given set of design parameters of biogas plant and hybrid collectors (M S =2000,It has been observed that number of hybrid PVT collector has significant effect on slurry temperature.
