Integrating renewable energy sources, biogas, and solar energy could provide up to 88% of the annual energy requirements of WWTPs. Recommendations are provided for further research considering the limited availability of integrated resources for studying the simultaneous utilization of photovoltaic and biogas systems. 1. Introduction
With rising energy costs and the worsening climate crisis, some wastewater treatment plants have started using solar energy. Because solar adoption at wastewater treatment plants is still relatively new, there is little known about these facilities, including where they are, what drove them to choose solar, and if solar has been a success.
Consequently, the design of a hybrid system with a biomass gasifier, solar energy, and power grids can reduce costs for a medium-sized WWTP, and the use of a hybrid system combining multiple energy sources could be a technically and economically viable alternative for use at medium-sized WWTPs ( Buller et al., 2022 ).
Strazzabosco et al. (2019) assessed the current state of solar PV systems in WWTPs and found that solar PV is primarily used in hybrid configurations with anaerobic digestion at WWTPs with flow rates greater than 1.89 × 10 4 m 3 /d. In these treatment plants, biogas meets 25%–65% of the total energy demand, and solar energy supplies 8%–30%.
One approach is to recycle the energy recovered from wastewater and sludge to assist internal WWTPs in their treatment operations. The recovered energy can contribute 3.6% of net
