摘要: Abstract Results of a techno-economic evaluation biomass gasifier based projects for decentralized power supply remote locations in India are presented. Contributions different components diesel engine generator (DG) sets, dual fuel (DF) sets and 100% producer gas (HPG) to their capital costs as well the levelized unit cost electricity (LUCE) delivered by same have been analyzed. LUCE consumers has estimated be varying range Rs. 13.14–24.49/kWh (US$ 1 0.30–0.55/kWh) DF BGPP. increases significantly if BGPP is operated at part loads. Presently available 40 kW capacity HPG systems expected financially competitive with DG set equivalent beyond break-even price 34.70/l. It more attractive than an prices 44.29/l. In certain specific conditions operating two smaller found against single larger system.
