Off-grid hybrid systems based on combined conventional and unconventional technologies: Design, analyses, and illustrative examples

Abstract

In this section, off-grid hybrid systems based on combined conventional and unconventional technologies are examined. Some non-conventional and relatively novel systems are considered. Some simple illustrative examples are provided to better evaluate the hybrid systems while their performance evaluations have been made. Considering the results obtained, it can be concluded that these systems are quite promising on the basis of waste heat utilization and very promising for electricity generation from low-temperature heat sources. © 2022 Elsevier Inc.
