Experimental and techno-economic analysis of solar-assisted heat pump drying of biomass

Drying enhances the attributes of biomass, such as storability and heating value. In regions with low solar radiation, solar drying has demonstrated limited economic viability. Hybrid systems, combining solar drying with a stable heat source such as a heat pump, present an opportunity to improve dry...
