5. Combining Technologies • Wind • Solar Variable Output • AD Biogas Short Term Reserve • Heating/Hot Water • Income from Electricity Sale Consume and/or Export
6. Variable Output Wind Solar PV  Readily Available Technology  Use a Free Energy Source  Take Up Little Space  Site Suitability (Wind Speed)  Planning Issues  Readily Available Technology  Use a Free Energy Source  Use Existing Buildings  Site Suitability (Building Orientation)
7. Short Term Reserve Anaerobic Digestion & Biogas Manure • Easily processed feedstock but low gas yield • Storage to comply with regulation (NVZ etc) Green Waste • Higher gas yield • Local collection to reduce landfill & transportation Digestate • Solid faction – Soil Conditioner (P&K) • Liquid – Valuable Nitrogen Content
8. Consume or Export? Consume Export  Lower Utility Bills  Use excess energy for Heating/Hot Water  Additional Income Stream  Return on Investment
