Hybrid renewable energy systems based on micro-cogeneration

Hybrid renewable energy systems (HRES) are seeing as a solution to overcome the fluctuation and randomness of certain sources, such solar wind power. Coupling fluctuating sources with controllable biomass-fueled micro-cogeneration, constitute an HRES that significantly reduces CO2 emissions primary consumption. The purpose this work is review research works on hybrid based micro-cogeneration present case study optimizing solar-based system. First, energy-fueled presented according prime mover technology: Stirling engine, organic Rankine cycle photovoltaic-thermal (PVT). different movers assessed their advantages, disadvantages market availability. Next, several including technologies summarized key findings highlighted. Finally, results for reasoning necessity system hybridization. indicated more experimental data effort management strategies stochastic optimization models required. showed maximum thermal electrical reliability 68% 70%, respectively. optimized PVT/battery/thermal storage was not able cover all demand but supporting heat electricity
