Sustainable biomass exploitation for combined heat and power (CHP) generation is fundamental to address concerns about climate changes related to energy conversion systems. The aim of the work is to design a power plant able to satisfy energy demands exclusively through renewable resources. A...

To mitigate the effects of climate change, the massive deployment of renewable energies is a key challenge in the near future. While for wind power plants, repowering is common practice to increase the energy yield, the early replacement of old photovoltaic (PV) modules with newer, more...

The current study intends to optimally design and carry out the economic and environmental assessment of a hybrid photovoltaic/biogas/diesel/battery (PV/BG/DG/battery) sustainable system to meet the electricity load of a village in Xuzhou, east China. HOMER (Hybrid Optimization of Multiple...
