Intelligent Power Generation from Anaerobic Digestion of Municipal Solid Waste: A Case Study of Faridabad, India
Keywords:
Municipal solid waste, anaerobic digestion, pretreatment, biogas, solid oxide fuel cellAbstract
This paper proposes a power generation system using Municipal Solid Waste (MSW). Organic fraction of MSW is subjected to anaerobic digestion and the biogas obtained is supplied to Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) for power generation. As SOFC is a high temperature fuel cell, heat ie. hot air and steamobtained is utilized for pretreatment of MSW, maintaining temperature of digester, partial reforming of biogas and drying of digested slurry. The digested slurry obtained is useful as fertilizer and covers major cost of biogas system. The proposed system is studied in district Faridabad, India for economic feasibility. Faridabad produces 723.9 MT MSW per day which gives 289 to 325 MT of organic matter for anaerobic digestion. Available MSW is divided in four parts across the district. System is simulated in Homer in grid connected mode with each one part producing 21900 MWh annually (making total production from four plants as 87600 MWh) with Levelized cost of energy USD 0.0299 per kWh and the dried digested slurry gives 5840 MT fertilizer annually. Emissions from the system are much lower than conventional thermal power plants and landfilling.
