Abstract
Waste-driven CHP plants are extremely popular in many countries, especially in Northern Europe. Waste CHP is mainly employed for baseload demand and supply of heat and power grids. This study proposes the hybridization of such power plants with solar parabolic trough collectors to open the gate for reliable growth of the share of solar power plants into the existing energy matrices via a 100% dispatchable energy output. The hybrid power plant is proposed to have a flue gas condensation unit to maximize the net efficiency. The proposed hybrid system is thoroughly analyzed via energetic, exergetic, and environmental analyses, and the results are compared with the conventional system as well as a third scenario which is the hybrid system when no flue gas condensation unit is employed.
