A review on hybrid energy generation: Cow dung biogas, solar thermal and kinetic energy integration for power production
Abstract
The growing global demand for clean and sustainable energy sources has sparked interest in hybrid energy systems that combine multiple renewable energy technologies. This review paper explores the integration of cow dung biogas, solar thermal, and kinetic energy for power production. The synergistic utilization of these energy sources holds significant potential for addressing the energy challenges faced by various communities. This paper provides an overview of each technology, discusses the benefits and challenges of integration, and highlights successful case studies. Furthermore, it discusses this hybrid energy generation system's potential future developments and implications.
