Abstract:
Biogas power plants have gained significant attention as a sustainable and renewable energy source, leveraging organic waste to produce clean energy and reduce environmental impacts. Despite their potential, achieving optimal performance and widespread viability requires innovative approaches to design, process control, and energy integration. This paper delves into advanced strategies for enhancing the efficiency and operational effectiveness of biogas power plants. Key focus areas include innovations in process control systems, such as real-time monitoring, automation, and predictive analytics, as well as advanced techniques for maximizing methane yield and energy recovery. Additionally, the paper explores the synergistic integration of biogas plants with other renewable energy systems, such as solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind energy, to create hybrid setups that enhance grid stability and energy reliability. Through detailed case studies and quantitative analyses, this study highlights the substantial environmental benefits, including reduced greenhouse gas emissions and efficient waste management, alongside economic advantages like cost savings and enhanced energy security. Furthermore, challenges related to technology adoption, economic feasibility, and policy support are critically evaluated, and future trends, including the role of digital technologies and emerging materials, are discussed to provide a roadmap for sustainable biogas power plant development.
