متن کاملNumerical Simulation of a Hybrid Concentrated Solar Power/Biomass Mini Power Plant
Renewable electricity generation systems are increasingly used as a means of reducing harmful emissions and also reducing operational costs, by comparison with the use of fossil fuels. However, renewable energy sources such as solar energy are characterised by a high degree of intermittence, sometimes unpredictable. This constraint leads to inability to meet the demand of a power system. Hybrid...
