Abstract

Systems involving more than one energy source, namely hybrid systems, can be arranged in different configurations and layouts depending on the available or used energy source, application and scale of the system. Despite an increasing awareness and penetration of renewable energy sources at different scales in many countries over the world, the adoption of hybrid and novel renewable systems is relatively scarce, especially at a small scale. This scenario is also presented from the point of view of the research of such systems. Therefore, the scope of the paper is to improve the knowledge regarding small-scale hybrid renewable energy systems performance and operation by investigating a novel trigeneration system based on a biomass fired steam cycle, wind turbine, photovoltaic panels and adsorption chiller.
