AbstractThis paper is aimed at finding ways to the use Renewable Energy Resources like solar, biogas for generation of Electric
power. This type of energy generation will help to overcome global warming effect. A hybrid system of solar and biogas
has been proposed. The hybrid system using photovoltaic and biogas has higher reliability. Also it can be cost effective,
the residue produced will be less as compared to present biogas plants and it will improve the quality of life in small
towns and villages. The Hybrid power plant based power generation using solar energy and biogas as sources aims at
increasing the system efficiency and therefore encourages the use of Renewable energy resources. In order to meet the
varying load conditions we need to integrate different Renewable energy resources like wind, solar, biomass, biogas, fuel
cell technologies, small hydro etc.

INTRODUCTION
he world as we know is facing threat of fast depletion of present energy and fossil fuel reserves. Energy plays a vital role
for the progress of a nation and it is needed to be conserved in most efficient way. Energy should be produced in
environment friendly manner and must be conserved efficiently. The use of Renewable energy technology has been
steadily increasing in order to fulfill the required demand of energy. There are some drawbacks associated with renewable energy
systems such as lack of reliability etc. Most of population in our country lives in rural areas away from power grid. The cost of
supplying such consumers is very high and also losses concerned with them are also an issue in itself and poor supply reliability
problems are also there. The use of renewable energy resources in order to meet the increasing energy demand is increasing day
by day since they are less costly and are available in abundance, also cause less pollution as compared to non renewable ones.
Energy, Economy and Environment are the three inter related areas having direct correlation for development of any nation. This
type of power generation (power generation using non conventional sources) can be useful in three different ways Firstly it helps
in energy conservation and better utilization of available resources especially renewable that are available almost free of cost.
Secondly the cost of energy generated is less as compared to other non renewable resources like diesel etc. Lastly, considering
the impact of energy generation by renewable energy sources on pollution, which is very less makes generation from these
sources an attractive option. Also the end product of this type of hybrid plant can be used in many ways viz. the end product of
biogas plant can be used as fertilizer in fields. Also the grid interaction feature can be added to the plant so that the power
generated can be fed to the grid in off peak load hours and can be taken back from the grid in peak load hours as per requirement.
The cost of energy generated is less as compared to other non renewable resources like diesel etc.
The Hybrid systems are mainly combination of Photovoltaic with wind turbines and generators running on Diesel or bio-fuel is
also used in some applications. The diesel engines require frequent maintenance and are also expensive to run and therefore
mixture of solar and some other renewable energy source like biogas can be a useful solution to fulfill the power requirement at
very low cost specially in rural and remote areas.
The hybrid system using photovoltaic and biogas has higher reliability also it can be cost effective, the residue produced will be
less as compared to present biogas plants the cost of per unit energy generated will be much less and also it will improve the
quality of life in small towns and villages. Therefore overall this unique concept of power generation can be a one single solution
to different problems being faced presently.
Retention time-The period of Retention of the material for biogas generation inside the digester is known as the retention
period. This period will depend on the type of feed stock and temperature. Normal values of Retention period is between 30 and
45 days and 60 days in some cases.
By Regulating the daily feed volume the retention time can be controlled.
Periods for different materials to get well fermentation are:
1) Cow/Buffalo dung
50 days
2) Pig-dung
20 days
3) Poultry droppings
20 days
4) Night soil
30 days
Pressure-Some work conducted at National Environmental Research Institute (NEEERI) Nagpur and other places indicate that
the pressure on the surface of slurry also effects the fermentation
Digester Design Considerations:
Digester tanks may be of any convenient shape and provided with a cover to retain the gas .The cover may be fixed one or
floating .A number of factors are to be taken into account to arrive an optimum size of a biogas plant .These are:
1. The volume of waste to be digested daily
2. The type and amount of waste available for digestion consistently
3. Period of Digestion
4. Methods of stirring the contents i.e. available.
5. Method of adding the raw material and removing digested slurry
6. Efficiency of the collection of the raw material
7. The climatic conditions of the region
8. The availability of other cellulosic fermentable waste in that area
9. Information about sub-soil conditions and water table
10. Type of Cover
III. PROJECT SITE
We have taken up a case study for hybrid project whose details of site are given below:
Location: Canal View Enclave,(J.L.P.L Pvt,Ltd) Southern bypass ,Gill road, Ludhiana
Details about land: About 3 acres to 3.5 acres of land will be required with proper supply of water; also the site selected should
such that the pollutants in air are less so that it cannot adversely effect the operation of solar plant.
The land selected has capability to withstand the weight of the whole plant.
IV. SOLAR POWER SYSTEM
Solar energy is the energy produced by the sun through a process called thermonuclear fusion and it is the renewable source of
energy, the process converts the hydrogen into helium. The radiations from Sun are scattered in all directions and some part of
energy is lost by
Absorption
Scattering
Cloud cover
Climate
The solar energy radiations at the site are one of the important factors in design and implementation of plant. The solar cells
are also known as photovoltaic (PV) cells and these cells are p-n junction diodes and the junctions are placed close to the top
surface. The cells produce electricity when exposed to light .The word photovoltaic means electricity from light.
Photovoltaic are the direct conversion of light into electricity at atomic level. Some materials exhibit a property known as
photoelectric effect that causes them to absorb photons of light and release electrons. When these free electrons are captured
electric current results that can be used as electricity, this electricity can be used to power the load as per requirements.
Solar Panel-The solar panel is the power source of all photovoltaic installations. It is the result of a set of photovoltaic cells in
series and parallel.
Load-It is the components responsible to absorb energy and transform it into work. The diversity, complexity of the loads to be
connected to a photovoltaic system is difficult to be modeled.
Regulator-It is the element to protect the battery from the conditions such as overload and over discharge etc.The theoretical
formulation of the model can be simple but the inter performance with the rest of the model is necessary.
Inverter- The inverter allows transformation of DC current into AC current. A photovoltaic installation that incorporates an
inverter can belong to two different situations. An Isolated system where the inverter is the element of the network and has to
feed the set of loads, the inverter is connected to the system to which it sends the energy generated.
V. HYBRID SYSTEM
Hybrid system is combination of photovoltaic solar generation and biogas generation. The output is stored in the battery bank;
this energy is drawn by the electrical loads through inverter which converts DC power to AC power. The inverter has in-built
protection against short-circuit, overheating, low battery voltage and overload. The battery bank is designed to feed the loads up
to certain number of days with no sun or biogas depending upon the system requirement.
The solar panel is the power source of all photovoltaic installation. Photovoltaic (PV) are the solid state semi-conductor type
devices that produce electricity when exposed to light.
KWp solar power plant is 175897.15 kWh . Details of both the plants are given in tables 5.1 and 5.2. and by using the data from
these tables payback period can be calculated

VII .CONCLUSION
This type of power generation can be useful in three different ways i.e. it helps in energy conservation and better utilization of
available resources especially renewable that are available almost free of cost secondly the cost of energy generated is less as
compared to other non renewable resources like diesel etc and at last considering the impact of energy generation by renewable
energy sources is very much less as the pollution ,harmful gasses are much less in this case and also the end product of this type
of hybrid plant can be used in many ways like the end product of biogas plant can be used as fertilizer in fields. Also the grid
interaction feature can be added to the plant so that the power generated can be fed to the grid in off peak load hours and can be
taken back from the grid in peak load hours as per requirement, for 350 KW plant about 3 acres to 3.5 acres of land will be
required and initial investment will be approximately 4 crores and plant can be operated by 20 persons, the per unit cost
generation will be about Rs 5.83 and plant can be erected in 6 months. About 5,000 plants can be set up in villages of Punjab and
these villages can be supplied power through these plants, the composite produced will be 4.5 tones approximately as compared
to 8 tons produced by present biogas plants. Therefore power generation using amalgamation of biogas+ solar energy has vast
scope specially in state like Punjab as huge quantity or we can say required quantity of cow dung can be easily arranged and also
solar panel can also be erected where required .The environmental and social issues associated with this type of power generation
are to be considered in this study.
