Energy efficiency of biogas-solar power plant

Consumption of thermal energy for heating the substrates in the biogas production process represents a significant energy loss. If a biogas power plant is built with biogas plants the total heat losses can be, by synergistic action, significantly reduced. This may have a decisive effect on the plant construction economic feasibility. This paper aims to research a complete energy efficiency of the biogas production entire system in the biogas plant including biogas use for the biogas plant drive with the additional use of the available solar energy. On the basis of empirical data on the thermal properties and available capacities of designed plants, analytical methods of power plants heat loss and energy efficiency determination are used in this paper.
