| description | This study outlines a comprehensive pathway for the establishment of a 7.97 MW Biogas Energy Plant and a 4.57 MW Solar Energy Plant. Hourly electricity and thermal energy productions were 3961.31 kWh and 4016.34 kWh, respectively. The overall exergetic efficiency of the hybrid energy plant was found to be 29.5 %. The total investment costs and payback period for the Hybrid energy plant were calculated as 14.03 million € and 6 years, respectively. The hybrid system's operation resulted in a daily reduction of 1194.56 kg of carbon dioxide emissions, highlighting its environmental benefits. |
