Abstract

The paper designs a biogas power plant that runs on anaerobically digested (AD) animal waste and integrated with a micro turbine and permanent magnet synchronous generator to generate renewable power. Cow dung, poultry manure, and swine have been explored as potential feedstocks for AD, and the various subprocesses are investigated at discrete temperature intervals that cover both the mesophilic and thermophilic temperature ranges (30 °C–50 °C). The biodegradability of animal wastes, retention time, loading rate, and the size of the reactor influence the overall biogas yield. Methane production from cow dung increased from 131.4 L/d at 30 °C to 171.12 L/d at 50 °C in 15 days. Whereas the methane output from poultry manure, and swine at 50 °C were 278.4 L/d and 284.5 L/d respectively. Moreover, a methane recovery efficiency of 75 % and a purge efficiency of 97 % were attained through pressure swing adsorption (PSA). Furthermore, the system is maintained at 25 kW at steady-state conditions, attaining saturation for a torque value of 7.77 p.u. In a dynamic setting, the load is varied for a range of 25 kW–40 kW, and stable sinusoidal waveforms are generated as outputs that indicate the system's ability to withstand load variations.
