The electric generator with a capacity 6000 watts was prepared in this research to be able to be fuelled with flexible fuel. The engine in this generator was 4 strokes engine, single cylinder of 4 stroke spark ignition engine with cylinder volume of 420 cc that can be operated fully with biogas and if biogas is not available, the engine can also be run by using gasoline with an easy switch mechanism. The method developed in this research was different from the idea of dual-fuel which was the fuel was mixed. Two types of Biogas are prepared in this research, type 1 biogas was purified from H2S and H2O, and type 2 of biogas was purified from CO2, H2S, and H2O. The gasoline type that was used in this work was the pertalite with a research octane number (RON) was 90. The engine was run with no load (idle position) and with a load 250 watts and the effect on emission and fuel consumption were recorded and analyzed. The result indicates that the average fuel consumption of using biogas type 1 is about 44.24 L/Minute in idle position and increases to become 45.35 L/minute with load 250 watts. For biogas type 2 the fuel consumption is found about lower, that is 43.76 L/Minute in idling position and increase to reach 45.04 L/minute for with load 250 watts.It is noted here that by using gasoline the fuel consumption is 0,023 L/ Minutes in idle position and a little bit increase to become 0.024 L/minute for 250-watt load. The CO emission is found at 3.91 % vol. for gasoline engine in idle position and reduce a little bit to become 3.5 % vol. with load 250 watts. The emission is found excellent if biogas is used as a fuel comparing gasoline. For biogas type 1, the CO emission is found 0.06 % vol. in idle position and just a bit increase to become 0.07 % vol. if loaded at 250 watts. The best performance is found for biogas type 2 that the CO emission is found 0.04% vol. and still in this value at loading 250 watts.

“…But still after converted to biogas fuel, the engine cannot be run again by using gasoline. Performance of small size biogas electric generator also was reported [10]. For more complex system, the biogas can also enrich with hydrogen to promote the degree of reversibility of the burning process during the combustion of the later burning gas, but the contribution of the early burning gas to the decrease in combustion irreversibility with hydrogen addition seems to be less prominent.…”

The available of conventional fuels are fluctuating depend on distribution from the source production to consumer. The availability of biogas as renewable energy is increasing due to establishments of many organic wastes processing worldwide. The need of electricity to support daily life activity is a must, but the availability of electric source in remote area is limited especially for a farm that far away from commercial line distribution of electricity. This work is dedicated to solve this problem. The single cylinder 4 stroke spark ignition engine (83 cc) was designed to be able to be fuelled flexibly by using biogas or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), or gasoline if sometime the biogas not available during initiation of the process or during maintenance of anaerobic digester. The engine is still can be run to provide electricity by using conventional fuel such as LPG or gasoline. The full consumption as well as emission of this flexible fuel engine was investigated. It is found that the fuel consumption is 9.97 L/mint for Biogas, 0.004 L/mint for gasoline and 2.24 L/mint for LPG. Surprisingly by using biogas the emission of carbon monoxide (CO) was down to almost zero (0.02 ppm), comparing gasoline 0.32 ppm, and LPG 0.4 ppm.

“…This system additionally includes a 50m 3 gas tank for storing excess gas. The fuel usage at different loading conditions for the generator was derived from [28] and rescaled to meet the generator capacity used in this assessment. Based on the curve, the average gas consumption is 1.752 m 3 /kW/h.…”

The article focuses on sizing and designing microgrids with pvlib-python and the Python programming language. Pvlib-python is a free and open-source program for simulating solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. For the design, an existing case study of an agricultural microgrid comprised of PV arrays, batteries, and a biogas-based generator in an off-grid configuration was explored. The solar resources and PV system were modeled using pvlib-python, while the rest of the microgrid was built and simulated using a custom dispatch algorithm written in Python. The study also discussed an in-depth strategy for modeling PV utilizing various data sources using the included modules and functions. A similarly specified microgrid was also modeled in Homer Pro software and the results from the designed microgrid in Python were compared. The hourly distribution of data for both tools exhibits a noticeable deviation. The daily and annual distribution of most of the parameters, on the other hand, produce comparable results.
