Abstract

AbstractThe potential of combining biogas and photovoltaic (PV) power plants in hybrid systems in the German distribution grid is analyzed. The focus of the present research is on balancing the intermittent power supply from PV power plants with the controllable power production of combined heat and power (CHP) units of biogas plants within a period of seconds. To achieve an increase of the total energy feed‐in of biogas and PV power plants to the electricity grid, a biogas plant energy management system is described. System parameters, such as the variable feed‐in of PV power plants or power ramps of the start‐up process of controllable biogas plant CHP unit, are described and adapted to the global installed capacity of PV power plant and biogas plants in the German distribution grid.
