Analysis and design of embedded controller based Electrical Power Generation unit from Domestic Waste

Bio-degradable waste which has not been used effectively in the past can be used as a source for Electric Power Generation (EPG). Heating of bio-degradable waste produces methane gas which can be used to generate electricity using methanol fuel cells. Induction type heating is employed in this proposed approach for heating the bio-degradable waste. The bio-degradable waste are heated to a temperature of 29.5°C–35°C and methane gas produced is fed as input to the fuel cells. This approach helps the domestic, industrial utilities including government and private sector organizations to generate the electric power and to meet their part of Electrical Power Demands (EPD).
