“…In Thailand, gas engines are usually considered as prime candidates for shaft power and electricity generation [30]. Although it is difficult to get accurate information, in Myanmar a 10-kW SI biogas aggregate costs around 600-800 US$.…”
Abstract:Residential bioenergy consumption and bioenergy resources based on by-products of residential agricultural production and animal husbandry have been analyzed statistically, based on a nationwide residential livelihood and energy survey conducted in Cambodia in 2009. Furthermore, the potential for biomethanation, residential biogas consumption and small-scale power generation for non-electrified rural areas has been assessed. Household potential of biogas substrates in Cambodia, based on nationally representative data has not been presented earlier. This paper proposes mixtures of substrates for biogas production for various livelihood zones of Cambodia. The occurrence of biomass suitable for biomethanation is most favorable in unelectrified rural areas, except for fishing villages. The theoretical daily biogas potential from animal dung and rice husk appears to be promising for households in unelectrified rural villages, both for household digesters and units designed for small-scale electricity generation. Theoretical CH 4 content of biogas was 63.9% and specific biogas yield 0.41 Nm 3 /kg for households in unelectrified villages. Based on the survey, the energy content of biogas potential is 25.5 PJ per year. This study shows that biogas has nationally significant technical potential in Cambodia.

“…1. A long-term operation of a small biogas/diesel dual-fuel engine for on-farm electricity production was tested in [4]. Authors concluded that the dual-fuel engine has great potential for useful on-farm energy utilization.…”
Abstract:In this paper stability prediction for a small biogas plant in islanded mode depending on local consumers energy consumption growth is given. Biogas plant with two cogeneration facilities and local consumers is tested for on grid and islanded operation and thus represents a microgrid. Generator and regulator modelling as well as surrounding electrical grid modelling in software package Power World Simulator are described. Expected consumption growth through the period of 20 years in microgrid area is simulated. All generator important variables, i.e. voltage, frequency, real and reactive power in case of islanded mode are examined and explained. Finally, stability prediction analysis of biogas plant and surrounding consumers for 20 years period is given.
“…In Thailand, biogas technology has been a successful renewable energy technology developed and generally distributed. Livestock farms commonly utilize biogas for heat and electricity generation [4]- [7]. Phatthalung Provincial Energy Office, who was responsible for energy issue in the district area, recognized the problems and what solution they must take to resolve this environmental concerns, and make the local people and farm owners live together pleasantly.…”
Abstract. First biogas pipeline network has been well established in southern Thailand. About 1,273 households, accountable for about 87% of the total of 1,466 households in the district, get the benefits from biogas energy in many ways. Key success to this initiative is the collaboration between all parties, i.e., swine farm owners, households, and government officials. Swine farm owners are responsible for the design and construction of the biogas plants. Households pay some contributions regarding labor work and maintenance cost on biogas system and its pipeline network. Government officials are responsible for financial and technical supports to both parties. Indeed biogas energy offers an alternative source of heat energy for cooking fuel in this region.
