Biomass Energy: Renewable Energy For Power Generation

The current research work was followed by biomass based 20 kW power plant for electricity generation. The Prosopis juliflora selected as fuel for down draft gasifier. Characterization of producer gas was done to check the quality of producer gas at different load variations of engine by determining the different constituent, calorific value, density and tar content of producer gas. Performance evaluation of gasifier was carried out by observing the parameters like fuel consumption, specific fuel consumption, equivalence ratio, specific gas production rate, specific gasification rate and gasification efficiency.
