Sustainable Rural Development: Solar/Biomass Hybrid Renewable Energy System
Summary. Researchers developed a hybrid renewable energy system combining solar panels, battery storage, and a biomass gasifier to provide affordable electricity and clean water to rural communities lacking reliable energy and potable water access. The system uses waste heat from the biomass generator to purify saltwater through membrane distillation. Analysis shows the combined approach produces electricity and water at costs rural populations can afford, offering a viable solution for sustainable rural development.
