Bioenergy assessment and its integration for self sufficient renewable energy village
Year: 2011
Type: article
Abstract: The study of biomass assessment was conducted in the village of Nimbhora of district Akola in Maharashtra State. The biomass resources considered were agricultural crop residues and live stock waste (cattle dung). The present energy utilization pattern of the rural village has been studied for domestic as well as in farming activities. The proper biomass conversion system based on the available biomass resources were proposed for the self sufficient energy village. The installation sizing of the thermo-chemical systems like gasifier and digestion based biomethanation have been identified. The surplus bioenergy resource of the village had a energy generation capacity up to the 727539 kWh. The ratio of bioresources availability to demand represent the bioresources status and it was found 7:1. It clearly indicates that bioresources in the village was surplus. It was realized that, renewable energy generation system, based on gasification and biogas suited to the village bioresources which have no ecological impact on cycle of bioresources. The total power generator size of proposed renewable energy system was found to be 50 kW for village Nimbhora.
