Abstract:Abstract-Decentralised power generation in remote rural locations can be done using locally available biomass based renewable energy sources. A single cylinder stationary diesel engine was run in the neat vegetable oil (Jatropha oil) -biogas dual fuel mode to study the potential of this method of operation and also device simple methods to enhance the performance. Increasing the rate of pumping of the injected Jatropha oil and retarding its timing of injection resulted in considerable improvements in thermal e… Show more
