Energy Farm Design, Case Study: Dezfoul in Khouzestan Province

Today, energy plays a particular role in world's economy and politics. As fossil fuels caused major industrial developments in the twentieth century, energy will be the key element of development in future centuries. It is clear that all countries in the world can no longer be relied on traditional and limited energy sources for sustainable development. So, applying renewable energies as a clean energy seems necessary. The aim of this study is to introduce some of the renewable energy sources' application in a collection called Energy Farm. A farm in Dezfoul in Khuzestan province, located in the southwest of Iran, was selected as the case study and the use of solar, wind, biogas and fuel cells energies was evaluated and the energy balance analysis was conducted in there. According to calculations in designed energy farm, 12260 liters of ethanol will be produced in the biogas system in every cultivating season. Wind turbine produces about 13.6 kW power which is used in the electrolysis process. Moreover, the fuel cell system produces 5425 and 102 kWh from biological and electrical hydrogen sources, respectively. The energy which is produced from the biological hydrogen source of the fuel cell system is produced by all clover symbiotic microorganisms.
