Abstract
As anaerobic digestion waste to energy systems become more prevalent in North America, the design, sizing, and implementation of the combined heat and power (CHP) outputs require further investigation. Based on commonly digested substrates, recommendations are provided for the type and size of machines available for generation of electricity. Implementation concerns are investigated for grid-tied and off-grid biogas power systems from 20 kW up to 2,000 kW.
