Abstract

Heavy industrial manufacturing units across the world have been facing challenges to work with sustainability and remain competitive with respect to product cost. Electrical energy required to run these units plays a major role in it. In the present work, feasibility of penetrating biomass renewable energy in power supply system of a cement manufacturing plant in India has been analysed. For this, three hybrid systems, i.e. biomass–grid, PV–biomass–grid and PV–biomass–battery, have been modelled and simulated using HOMER tool for supplying power to selected plant loads presently run by state grid. Lowest cost of energy (COE), net present cost (NPC) and pollutant emissions were taken as the criteria of selecting feasible system configuration. It was found that biomass–grid system has lowest COE and NPC of $0.0694/kWh and $10,597,290, respectively, but the system comprising PV–biomass–battery emits lowest pollutants at highest COE and NPC. Implementation of biomass–grid system ensures annual saving of $184,736.3 with capital cost payback period of 4.84 years along with reduction of pollutant emissions by 88.22% as against present scenario of only-grid supply system. A sensitivity analysis was performed for variations in real discount rate and rice husk prices. It was found that the system becomes a financially feasible option for real discount rate of 0.98% and rice husk price of $2.96/tonne.
