    The document describes a proposed biomass supported solar thermal hybrid power plant. It would combine a solar thermal power plant (STPP) using parabolic trough collectors or dishes with an auxiliary biomass boiler. During periods of low solar radiation, the biomass boiler would provide steam to generate continuous electricity output instead of relying solely on thermal energy storage. The first such plant was built in Catalonia and can generate 25 MW of power from 2,688 solar panels and biomass, preventing 24,500 tons of CO2 emissions annually.

    BIOMASS SUPPORTED SOLAR THERMAL HYBRID POWER PLANT

    INDEX
    Introduction

    Working principle of STPP

    Proposed biomass supported STPP

    Advantages

    INTRODUCTION
    Use of non-renewable energy cause environmental

    pollution and also they gets depleted

    Pollution free, freely available renewable sources are

    best alternative

    Solar power plants are widely used but its main

    problem is variability

    INTRODUCTION contd..
    To overcome the disadvantages of both power plants

    they are combined

    By shared use of some of the equipments effective cost

    is less than simple addition

    Effective operating hours and therefore overall energy

    generation is higher

    WORKING PRINCIPLE OF Need of solar thermal power SOLAR THERMAL POWER plant is increasing due to PLANT increased fuel cost and

    environmental pollution

    METHODOLOGIES USED

    Parabolic Trough Collector System Parabolic Dish Focus System

    Diagram of parabolic trough

    WORKING . .
    Most cost effective and reliable among the three

    It is constructed as a long parabolic trough-

    shaped mirror, generally made of polished metal

    Heat transfer fluid (usually oil) runs through the tube

    to absorb the concentrated sunlight.

    Diagram of parabolic dish STPP


    Tracks the sun by rotating about two axes and rays are brought to a point focus

    Receiver is placed at the focus

    Working fluid in the receiver gets heated

    Using this heat steam is produced

    Steam drives a prime mover to generate electricity

    Central Receiver System

    WORKING . .
    Solar radiation reflected from arrays of large mirrors

    which are called heliostats is concentrated on a receiver situated at the top of a supporting tower

    A molten salt is used as working fluid and medium of

    thermal storage

    Characteristics of STPP

    Collects thermal energy from sunrise

    When obtained energy is insufficient stored energy is used

    Hence constant electrical output is obtained

    Stored energy will be depleted sooner and thereafter no energy production

    PROPOSED BIOMASS SUPPORTED STPP FOR STABLE AND CONTINUOUS OPERATION


    Large amount of budget will be required for building

    of large storage system

    Biomass supported plant can contribute to generate

    electrical energy continuously

    An auxiliary boiler is used to heat water whose fuel is

    provided from the biomass plant

    Solar thermal power plant with an auxiliary boiler

    In addition an auxiliary boiler is placed

    Fuel to boiler is provided from the biomass plant

    Steam from the boiler is given to the turbine in case of insufficient solar radiation

    Characteristics of STHPP with auxiliary boiler

    Storage energy of STHPP remain almost constant throughout the day

    So the electrical energy produced is stable and continuous

    CONTRIBUTION OF THERMAL ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM


    Thermal energy is relatively easier and less costly to

    store compared to electrical energy

    Sensible heat storage is most commonly used heat

    storage

    Thermal storage system of STHPP consists of two

    CONTD . .
    One contains working fluid leaving the solar reflector

    and other contains cooled working fluids leaving the steam generator

    Tanks must be of same size, in case of unavoidable

    disturbances entire contents should be stored in one tank

    Thermal energy is passed to storage if the temperature

    of heat source is higher than heat loads and vice versa

    BIOMASS FOR STPP


    Obtained from biological materials such as plants,

    trees, waste, sewage gas etc

    The effectiveness of power generation requires

    availability of biological materials and their transportation

    Combustion gases from the auxiliary boiler are

    conveyed to flue gas cleaning system and cleaned

    ADVANTAGE OF BIOMASS Redundant energy is stored during sunny days SUPPORTED STHPP
    When the parameters of steam cannot reach rated

    value during insufficient solar radiation, then biomass plant starts to operate

    Thus mixed steam reaches to rated value at exit of

    receiver

    FURTHER RESEARCH FOR STHPP SYSTEM


    storage system

    To minimize the cost of large solar thermal energy

    The operation of auxiliary boiler fed from biomass fuel

    should be more optimized and automatic for stable and reliable operation

    CONCLUSION
    Ensure to use 100% renewable sources

    Stable and continuous mode of operation

    The storage system of STHPP contributes to save

    biomass fuel that will increase the overall efficiency of the plant

    The worlds first plant combining biomass and solar thermal energy in Catalonia

    It can generate 25 MW of power enough to supply 75000 houses

    It consist of almost 2,688 solar panels

    Using this renewable energy plant will prevent 24,500 tones of CO2 from being released into the atmosphere.
