Guided by: Dr.Lakshman Rao SMALL SCALE ELECTRICITY GENERATION USING BIOMASS

Why…………..? 1.Shortage in Non- Renewable resources. 2.Need of Electricity. 3.To reduce global warming. Country India Electricity - consumption (billion kWh)

Due to shortage of power Villages - 12 hrs Towns - 6 hrs Cities - 3 hrs Because of these above cited reasons we have developed this system Data from AP electricity board

Biomass, as a renewable energy source, is biological material from living, or recently living organisms. As an energy source, biomass can either be used directly, or converted into other energy products such as biofuel.renewable energy sourcebiological materialbiofuel Eg: Garbage, Wood, Wastes etc……… What is Bio-mass……………?

There are a number of technological options available to make use of a wide variety of biomass types as a renewable energy source. In general these are classified into 1.Thermal conversion. 2.Chemical conversion. 3. Biochemical conversion. Conversion of Biomass Energy…

HOW?

1.Biomass stove 2.Solar plate 3.Pressure cooker 4.Stop valve 5.Nozzle 6.Turbine 7.Dynamo 8.LED bulb Our setup

Biomass stove

Solar plate

Pressure cooker with stop valve and nozzle

Turbine with a dynamo and bulb

Does it works…………? Fuel Net Calorific Value (CV) by mass GJ/tonne Net Calorific Value (CV) by mass kWh/kg Bulk density kg/m 3 Energy density by volume MJ/m 3 Energy density by volume kWh/m 3 Wood chips (30% MC) , Log wood (stacked - air dry: 20% MC) ,200-7,4001,400-2,000 Wood (solid - oven dry) ,600-11,4002,100-3,200 Wood pellets ,0003,100 Miscanthus (bale - 25% MC) ,800-2, House coal ,000-26,0006,400-7,300 Anthracite339.21,10036,30010,100 Heating oil ,00010,000 Natural gas (NTP) LPG ,6006,600

1.Conversion of Biomass energy into Heat energy. 2.Heat is used to convert water into wet steam with pressure energy. 3.Nozzle converts pressure energy into Kinetic energy. 4.Kinetic energy is used to run turbine attached to dynamo. 5.Dynamo converts rotational energy into Electrical energy. How it works…………? Can we watch a video

1.Since Biomass energy is renewable its doesn’t lasts. 2.Biomass energy doesn’t cause any harm too environment. 3.Available throughout the world. 4.Cheap when compared to other fuels. Advantages…

1. Efficiency will be low when compared to coal and other fuels. 2.Transportation involves complexity. Disadvantages…

Future aims…………. 1.Mounting a pressure gauge. 2.Increase the pressure. 3.Manufacturing a Turbine. 4.Calculation of efficiency. 5. Design for continuous feeding of fuel. To become an entrepreneur in this field to serve the people Biogas and solar are to be attached to this system

Conclusion  With minimum cost of resources electric power to be generated.  Biomass is an alternative source(fuel) for future use.  Biomass stove can be used even for cooking.  This is one of the solutions to over come the power crisis.
