This study aims at analyzing the techno-economic feasibility of electric power generation from rice straw
in in Egypt. In particular, we attempt to estimate the energy production and the levelized cost of elec-
tricity (LCOE) at some selected provinces with high potential availability of rice straw. Accordingly, a
proposed configuration of biomass Rankine cycle power plant fed with rice straw is modeled and
simulated using System Advisor Model (SAM). The simulation shows that the average nominal and the

In order to enhance the spreading of renewable energy sources in the Italian electric power market, as well as to promote self-production and to decrease the phase delay between energy production and consumption, energy storage solutions are catching on. Nowadays, in general, small size electric storage batteries represent a quite diffuse technology, while air liquid-compressed energy storage solutions are used for high size.
