Abstract

India, being a land of diversified flora, has a promising resource of biomass, which, when utilized to its best, can cope with the elevating need for power. This research proposes a biomass-based energy generation system that can cater to the power needs of remote areas in tropical deciduous forests. A simulation and techno-economic and ecological investigation of eight hybrid energy generation architectures have been carried out. The model comprising a solar photovoltaic-biomass energy unit-storage unit was found to be the most appropriate system to cater to the domestic, agricultural, and commercial demands of a cluster of 10 villages in the tropical highlands of India. This configuration proposes the least cost of energy (0.077 $/kWh) at a computed net cost of $ 380,415. 30.3% (106,240 kWh/year) of power is generated by PV, and the remaining 69.7% (321,580 kWh/year) is generated by Biomass generators. Ecologically, the proposed architecture predicts a cutdown of GHG (CO₂) emissions to a mere 82 kg/year. The results can help policymakers, researchers, and designers on the latest constraints as well as policies for solar photovoltaic-biomass energy-based systems.

热带地区混合能源发电系统的技术经济生态设计与研究

印度是一个植物种类繁多的国家，拥有前景广阔的生物质资源，如果加以充分利用，可以满足日益增长的电力需求。这项研究提出了一种基于生物质能源的发电系统，可以满足热带落叶林偏远地区的电力需求。研究人员对八种混合能源发电结构进行了模拟、技术经济和生态调查。结果发现，由太阳能光伏发电-生物质能源装置-储能装置组成的模型是最合适的系统，可以满足印度热带高原 10 个村庄的家庭、农业和商业需求。这种配置的能源成本最低（0.077 美元/千瓦时），计算的净成本为 380,415 美元。30.3% 的电力（106,240 千瓦时/年）由光伏发电产生，其余 69.7% 的电力（321,580 千瓦时/年）由生物质发电机产生。从生态学角度来看，建议的架构预计每年可将温室气体（二氧化碳）排放量减少到 82 千克。这些结果有助于政策制定者、研究人员和设计人员了解太阳能光伏-生物质能源系统的最新限制因素和政策。
