Design of a cost-effective waste to energy system with storage for a typical African animal farm
2022 IEEE 7th International Energy Conference (ENERGYCON)(2022)
摘要
With increasing electricity tariffs for African farmers, as well as pressure on global energy sectors to end their reliance on coal, a renewable system that has the potential to cut both costs and emissions would be a valuable resource. This paper details a waste-to-energy system intended for African animal farms. A focus on animal farms in Africa is important as many African power supply utilities are unreliable and rural areas are often at a loss for power. Africa, as a largely developing continent, is well suited to lead the way in a novel system of on-farm energy production. This paper shows that a system with 84% biomass and 16% PV supply provides an African farmer with the ability to save more than R6 million over the project’s lifespan of 20 years, while also recycling a waste resource and cutting methane emissions.
