Master's Thesis from the year 2006 in the subject Engineering - Power Engineering, grade: 1,0, Bochum University of Applied Sciences, language: English, abstract: This research draws conclusions from existing biomass and geothermal electricity generation systems and combines these to a hybrid plant concept which is subsequently evaluated thermodynamically, economically and in concerns of risk management. Using a hybrid power plant concept based on geothermal and biomass energy input, low enthalpy geothermal reservoirs can be utilised more efficiently for electricity generation then it was up to now possible with ordinary binary cycles. By passing the geothermal fluid through a heat exchanger to preheat the biomass boiler feedwater a classical Rankine-Cycle generates electricity with an ideal efficiency of 34%. Due to the geothermal contribution biomass is saved by the amount of 6%. This thermodynamically desirable process, however, raises economic problems as all components of conventional biomass plants as well as the source-side components of geothermal power plants become necessary. Costs for these parts accumulating at the development’s beginning only are compensated by reduced fuel costs and higher efficiencies. For geothermal exploration failure and the underachievement of the geothermal reservoir the proposed hybrid technology opens up an additional alternative. Having to have to abandon projects with inadequate qualities in former times, it is now possible to produce electricity efficiently and sustainably by the new hybrid power plant. Moreover, the dependence on the fluctuation in terms of biomass quality and prices decrease as the contribution of biomass itself is reduced. Although delivering first findings concerning these hybrid plants, this paper highlights the future research demand and suggests a list of worthwhile research topics.

The results of an analytical effort to determine the cost effectiveness of hybrid geothermal/fossil-fuel electrical-power generating stations. The analysis is directed at combining hydrothermal and coal energy in a Rankine steam cycle, for electrical power generation for the City of Burbank, California. This effort develops a methodology for hybrid power-plant cost analysis so that preliminary plant designs can be optimized as a function of specific site conditions and characteristics. It also defines cost-optimized site-specific plant designs for four potential sites: Roosevelt Hot Springs, Utah, Coso Thermal Area, California, East Mesa, California, and Long Valley, California. These optimized designs are compared for the costs, geothermal-resource utilization, and fossil fuel saved. The results indicate that development of geothermal resources to support a hybrid power plant are favorable for at least two of the four sites.

The energy scene in the world is a complex picture of a variety of energy sources being used to meet the world's growing energy needs. There is, however, a gap in the demand and supply. It is recognized that decentralized power generation based on the various renewable energy technologies can, to some extent, help in meeting the growing energy needs. The renewable energy landscape has witnessed tremendous changes in the policy framework with accelerated and ambitious plans to increase the contribution of renewable energy such as solar, wind, bio-power, and others. Hybrid renewable energy systems are important for continuous operation and supplements each form of energy seasonally, offering several benefits over a stand-alone system. It can enhance capacity and lead to greater security of continuous electricity supply, among other applications. This book provides a platform for researchers, academics, industry professionals, consultants and designers to discover state-of-the-art developments and challenges in the field of hybrid renewable energy. Written by a team of experts and edited by one of the top researchers in hybrid renewable systems, this volume is a must-have for any engineer, scientist, or student working in this field, providing a valuable reference and guide in a quickly emerging field.
