Bagasse, Coal and Biogas Based Cogeneration Rising Trend in Bangladesh for Energy Crisis

In spite of recent development, Bangladesh is still facing energy shortage. The country's generation plants have been unable to meet power demand over the past decade. In order to overcome not only big power plant but also a small cogeneration plant can be great effort to increase alternative energy generation in Bangladesh. The proposed model is a combination of heat and power system which can be run by bagasse and biogas. The coal is used when bagasse is not available. This research studies to explore 6 MW electricity that could be generated at North Bengal Sugar Mills, and from which 2 MW electricity will be used for its own consumption. The surplus power will be supplied to the National grid and causes earning additional revenue for the sugar mills of Bangladesh.
