Abstract
In this study, advanced exergoeconomic analysis of solar-biomass hybrid energy systems for the northern part of Cameroon is conducted. Three concentrating solar power (CSP) technologies, parabolic trough collector (PTC), linear Fresnel reflector (LFR) and solar tower (ST), hybridised with biomass-fired (BF) technology are investigated. It is found that exergy destruction from the solar field alone is responsible for the most of the whole exergy destructions (86.3% for PTC-BF, 92.2% for ST-BF and 85.4% for LFR-BF). The results show that LFR-BF hybrid system is the best cost-efficient system while ST-BF hybrid system is the worst cost-efficient system considering initial investment, avoidable-endogenous exergy destruction, cost associated with avoidable-endogenous exergy destruction and total cost required for the optimisation.
