Hybrid Solar-Biomass Power Generation: A Future Solution of Solar Thermal Power Generation

The purpose of the book is to make the reader familiar with the field of solar energy and biomass. The material presented in this book covers a large variety of solar thermal technologies like water heating system, parabolic trough collector, parabolic disc, linear Fresnel reflector etc. and its applications like, cooling, power generation and its future solution to hybrid solar thermal with biomass energy. It also gives short historical introduction about solar thermal application in India. It also gives the future solution of solar thermal for continuous power generation and other applications like cooling, process heat, cooking.
