Power Generation


A. Cost of Power Generation- 100% Producer Gas mode

Power Generation by Biomass Gasification Power Generation by 100% Diesel Generator
 
 Description  Indian Rupees
Cost of Biomass per KWh * 2.76
Cost of O & M per KWh 0.80
Cost of Power Generation per KWh 3.56
 Description  Indian Rupees
Cost of Diesel per KWh * 13.53
Cost of O & M per KWh 0.30
Cost of Power Generation per KWh 13.83
   
* Cost of Biomass - Rs.2.00/Kg
Average Consumption
of Biomass
- 1.20 Kg/KWh
Internal Consumption - 15%
Total Consumption
of Biomass
- 1.20x1.15=1.38 Kg/KWh
Cost of Biomass - 2.00x1.38=Rs.2.76/KWh
   
* Cost of Diesel - Rs.41.00/liter
Average Consumption of Diesel - 0.33 liters/KWh
Cost of Diesel - Rs.13.53/KWh
   
   
   
 
 
Savings when compared to 100% Diesel- Rs.10.27 / KWh

B. Cost of Power Generation- Dual Fuel mode
Power Generation by Biomass Gasification Power Generation by 100% Diesel Generator
   
 Description  Indian Rupees
Cost of Biomass per KWh * 2.26
Cost of Diesel per KWh** 3.69
Cost of O & M per KWh 0.60
Cost of Power Generation per KWh 6.55
 Description  Indian Rupees
Cost of Diesel per KWh * 13.53
Cost of O & M per KWh 0.30
Cost of Power Generation per KWh 13.83
   
* Cost of Biomass - Rs.2.00/Kg
Average Consumption
of Biomass
- 1.00 Kg/KWh
Internal Consumption - 13%
Total Consumption
of Biomass
- 1.00x1.13=1.13 Kg/KWh
Cost of Biomass - 2.00x1.13=Rs.2.26/KWh
   
** Cost of Diesel - Rs.41.00/liter
Average Consumption
of Diesel
- 0.08 liters/KWh
Internal Consumption - 13%
Total Consumption
of Diesel
- 0.08x1.13=0.09 liters
Cost of Diesel - Rs.41x0.09 liters=Rs.3.69/KWh
   
* Cost of Diesel - Rs.41.00/liter
Average Consumption of Diesel - 0.33 liters/KWh
Cost of Diesel - Rs.13.53/KWh
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
 
 
Savings when compared to 100% Diesel- Rs.7.28 / KWh

Thermal Application

Cost of Fuel- Thermal Application

Thermal Application by Biomass Gasification
 
 Description  Indian Rupees
Cost of Diesel 41.00/liter
Cost of Biomass * - 7.00/equivalent to one liter of Diesel
   
*Cost of Biomass - Rs.2.00/Kg
Average Consumption of Biomass
(equivalent to one liter of Diesel)
- 3.50 Kg
Cost of Biomass equivalent to
one liter of Diesel
- Rs.2.00x3.50 = Rs.7.00
 
 
Savings when compared to Diesel- Rs.34.00 / liter
 
 
Note :
# Cost of Biomass and cost of Maintenance may vary from project to project. You may please work out the savings which is realistic to your project.
 
# Activated Charcoal that comes as a bye product (when woody biomass is used) has good commercial value that will contribute to savings.
 
# Effective utilisation of 'Waste heat' will improve the efficiency of the plant and will also contribute to savings.
 
# "Carbon Credit" encashment will also add up to the revenue / savings of the project.
