Thermodynamic analysis of a hybrid wind turbine and biomass gasifier for energy supply in a rural off-grid region of Nigeria

In this research, a thermodynamic study is executed for multi-generation hybrid renewable energy system (MG-HRES) off-grid supply to rural settlement in Katsina state, Nigeria. the system, downdraft biomass gasifier (BMG), syngas electrical engine (SGE) attached with an absorption refrigeration and wind turbine generator are integrated relieve variability deliver three useful outputs. The which sized average electricity load of 2000 dwellings, modeled analyzed thermodynamically through Matlab computer code. overall energetic exergetic efficiencies 0.48 0.25, respectively, hot water cooling outputs 130 393 kW. To ascertain quantities locations irreversibility within MG-HRES, exergy destruction analysis deployed scrutinize thermodynamics process every part system. major about 95% total cycle occurs BMG, followed by SGE, 3%. variation destruction, efficiency MGHRES its constituents determined against fluctuations exhaust temperature, capacity factor, reference temperature environment.
