    Hybrid solar and biomass energy solution for rural househould
    (University of Management and Technology, 2013) Zia, Hammad; Asif, Muhammad; Mehdi, Azhar
    Shortage of energy is an international issue being hotly debated across different social political and economic spheres. For Pakistan a developing country with further industrialization in progress, such shortage is seeming exacerbate further The most viable solution promising to address such issues in Pakistan case, lies in harnessing the sustainable energy options primarily solar and biomass which are amply available. To plan the most feasible energy solution utilizing freely available solar and biomass energy resources. To implement low power interface between loads and the renewable energy sources. To design a control system ensuring proper distribution of energy among various loads. The project addresses the issue and targets to devise a hybrid solar-biomass energy solution for a rural household having seven people, which is a normal family size in Pakistani villages. Prior to hardware implementation, with help of a literature review and Renewable Energy simulation packages, a detailed study is being conducted to design state-of-the art of the particular idea.
