Thermodynamic analysis of a hybrid wind turbine and biomass gasifier for energy supply in a rural off-grid region of Nigeria

Chidiebere Diyoke, Ugochukwu Ngwaka · 2021 · Energy Sources Part A Recovery Utilization and Environmental Effects

Summary. Researchers designed and analyzed a hybrid renewable energy system combining a biomass gasifier and wind turbine to supply electricity, heating, and cooling to 2,000 rural homes in Nigeria. The system achieved 48% energy efficiency and 25% exergy efficiency, with the biomass gasifier accounting for 95% of energy losses. The analysis identifies how performance varies with changing environmental conditions and operational parameters.
