5 Indian Power Sector 12.7% Power Installed Capacity = GW As of 31 st August % 1.9% 69.3% Thermal Nuclear Hydro Renewable Thermal 176,118.6 MW Hydro 40,798.8 MW Nuclear 4,780 MW Renewable 32, MW Total 254,005.1 MW Indian energy scenario India s energy usage has been rapidly increasing as a result of economic growth in the last decade and the large population; Per capita consumption of electricity in India (2.02kWh) is very low compared to Canada (51.5kWh), USA (39.25kWh) and other developed countries. India is one of the major coal importing nations in the world More than 25% of primary energy needs being met by imports mainly in the form of crude oil and gas India is endowed with vast renewable energy resources including wind, solar, biomass and small hydro. India needs to develop the available renewable energy to meet its growing power needs and ensure energy security

6 In next 12 years India s electricity requirement to grow 2.5 times India s Energy Challenge Demand Shortage Peak shortage of 2% and energy shortage of 5.1% is expected( ) ** Climate Change is also an important issue Climate Change Security Access 300 Million people did not have access to electricity as per the 2011 census * India was dependent on oil imports for 71% of its demand in 2012 * * Source: ** Source:

7 7 Renewable Power Capacity Power Installed Capacity = GW As of 31 st August, % 11.84% 8.49% 67.14% Wind Small Hydro Bio mass Solar Wind 21, MW Small Hydro 3, MW Solar 2,743 MW Biomass 4, MW Total 32, MW Renewable Power Projects Potential Resource Potential (MW) Cumulative achievement Wind 49,500(50m hub height) 102,800(80m hub height) 21, Small Hydro(up to 25MW) 19,700 3, Biomass including bagasse cogeneration 22,500 4, Solar 50MWp/km 2 2,743MW

8 Distributed Generation Diagram

9 Potential DG Sources Diesel engines with very large storage tanks (five days are common) Reciprocating engines similar to diesels that burn by biofuel Microturbines on gas Wind turbines Solar arrays Geothermal Stream turbine from a small local stream Wave Tide Human or animal powered (really retrogressive)

10 What is Biomass? Biomass is the solar energy stored in chemical form from living organisms in plant,animal materials and their by-products. It supply 14% of primary energy consumption. Burn to produce heat and electricity Change to gas like fuel such as methane Changed to liquid fuel

11 BIOMASS Biofuels Converting biomass into liquid a& gases fuels for transportation. Biopower Burning biomass directly, or converting it into gaseous or liquid fuels that burn more efficiently, to generate electricity.

12 Energy Value of biomass A Typical Example: 1 kg of Dried biomass gives»3-3.6 kwh heat Energy; or,» kwh electricity plus 1.4 kwh heat.

13 Sources of biomass Crop residues Forest residues Agro-industrial residues Animal waste Aquatic plants Purpose grown trees Others like MSW and synthetic organics.

14 Why Biomass? An even larger contribution to global primary energy supply; Significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, and potentially other environmental benefits; Improvements in energy security and trade balances, by substituting imported fossil fuels with domestic biomass; Opportunities for economic and social development in rural communities; and Scope for using wastes and residues, reducing waste disposal problems, and making better use of resources.

15 Composition of Biomass Elemental (ultimate) Carbon: 49% Oxygen : 44% Hydrogen: 6% Other : 1% Structural composition Cellulose : 40-50% Hemicellulose : 20-35% Lignin : 15-35% Non essential structural components Extractives (e.g oleorisins, polyphenols) Inorganic compounds (ash): calcium, silicon, magnesium, manganese

16 Limitations Crop residues generated in country side Low in bulk density High transportation costs Seasonal availability High moisture content, high bio-degradability Therefore De-centralised utilisation preferred Dedicated system for single biomass is questionable due to seasonal availability, R & D on multi-fuel flexibility Should be called feedstock for fuels rather than fuel

17 Biomass Transformation As Energy Direct Combustion Heat, Power Generation Thermo chemical Transformation Gasification Thermal Cracking Direct Liquefaction (Fuel) Gas Synthetic Gas Liquid Fuel Biomass Low Temperature Gasification Hydrogen, Methane Biochemical Transformation Anaerobic Digestion Aerobic Pyrolysis Fermentation Methane (Compost) Ethanol Others RDF, Carbonization, Bio-Diesel

18 Biomass Briquetting A Value Adding Technology for Green coal 2/24/2015 MKM,CAET

19 Briquettes Briquetting is the process of densification of biomass to produce homogeneous, uniformly sized solid pieces of high bulk density which can be conveniently used as a fuel. Briquetting is one of the several compaction technologies in the category of densification. The process of briquetting consists of applying pressure to a mass of particles with or without a binder and converting it into a compact product of high bulk density, low moisture content, uniform size and shape and good burning characteristics. Briquettes can be produced with the density of 1.2 to 1.4 g/cm 3 from loose agro residues with a bulk density of 0.1 to 0.2 g/cm 3. 2/24/2015 MKM,CAET

20 Advantages The process increase the net calorific value of material per unit volume End product is easy to transport and store Thefuelproducedisuniforminsizeandquality Helps solve the problem of residue disposal Helps to reduce deforestation by providing a substitute for fuel wood. The process reduce/eliminates the possibility of spontaneous combustion waste The process reduces biodegradation of residues
