Abstract

Energy demand in Pakistan has increased surprisingly for a few years. The current generation of Pakistan is mainly reliant on thermal (fossil fuels) and crude oils. Pakistan is facing an energy gap of 5000–6000 MW between the demand and supply chain. The difference in Energy demand and energy generation for Pakistan is major causes of power system blackouts, power tripping, and load shedding problem. This entity intrigues the government of Pakistan to open the door for Alternative Energy Sources (AES) i.e. biogas, wind and solar, etc. Biogas becomes a vital source of energy because of technological evolution, free source, environmental friendly, consumer insistence and different state policies. Integration of biogas generation through Net Metering (N-M) with electricity grid at different levels (domestic, commercial and industrial level) can minimize the energy deficiency. Present research investigates the biogas Net Metering in Pakistan. Analysis has been performed through ETAP software. It is observed that the primary burdened bus 21 has a 98.76% voltage level in Case 2, while in Case 1 the voltage profile of Bus 21 is 97.78%. Results show the contribution of Distributed Generation (DG) system in the reduction of power deficit and burden on the utility grid.
