Sanz A., Dufour J., 2014, Biomass-Photovoltaic Hybrid Plant for Hydrogen Production via Steam Electrolysis, Chemical Engineering Transactions, 39, 1153-1158.
Performance of a hybrid biomass photovoltaic plant has been studied. Electric energy from photovoltaic panels and biomass combustion steam cycle is utilized to produce hydrogen via steam electrolysis, and the electricity surplus is sent to the grid. Two different scenarios have been considered, varying the size of the solar plant, and annual performance of the plant has been analysed, studying the variation of the solar energy generated and biomass consumption as a function of the size of the solar plant. Results show the relationship between the solar plant size and the annual biomass consumption of the hybrid plant.
