Bio-gas power plants — Green energy options for Indian villages

This paper presents the idea of biogas based power plants for the rural electrification needs in India. The biogas can be produced at the local village facility by using anaerobic digestion process of animal wastages, vegetables wastages, organic wastages and human waste. The specially designed Gas engines with modified piston, compression ratio, firing controllers for sparkplug ignitions can be used. The direct coupled alternators are capable to connect with smart grid or local state electricity´s grid by synchronizing panels. If the excess biogas available, which can be used for cooking purposes by constructing common kitchens in villages by minimizing the need for LPG or kerosene. The proposed system can be easily implemented in some potential places in tamilnadu like Namakkal, OttanChathiram, Palani, Salem, Uthukuli, Srivilliputhur, and some other parts of Andhira Pradesh, Mathya Pradesh, Uthira pradesh and Gujarat in India.
