Abstract
Attention towards the use of biomass for Power Generation has increased intensely from the past few years because of the awareness of global warming and a bad effect on the environment due to the fossil fuels combustion. This paper addresses the challenges for power production using paddy straw faced during the procurement and its storage. This paper opted an investigative study using the open-ended approach of grounded theory, including sample collection and experimenting. It has been observed that the various challenges are farmer awareness, transportation cost, storage cost, degradation due to storage and pre-feeding costs. The results have shown that there is 20.49% decrease in Calorific Value due to degradation of paddy straw at storage. The cost of generation in the month of procurement (Oct) is 0.02304$/kWh and it has been evident that increase is exponential in nature and stepped to 25. 76% in one year which is quite effective and make this study fit for its purpose.
