Investigation of Performance Parameters of Biogas Fueled Power Generation Process

Abstract

An investigation of the parameters affecting the power output of biogas fueled power system has been carried out in this paper which will help the researchers to promote the power output from the biogas power plant in a significant manner. A good number simulation works has been carried out in MATLAB for showing the importance of parameters in power generation process from a biogas power plant. One of the important parameters is volatile output in the reactor. From the simulation it is seen that maximum volatile output could be around 19 Kg/m3 as a concentration level if the feed flow rate is increased to around 16 m3/day. Throughout the simulation process a good number of factors have been analyzed like volatile acid concentration, reactor temperature, turbine speed etc. Therefore, the simulation work presented in this paper will help the researchers to realize the importance of the parameters in the power generation process from the biogas power plant.
