Techno-Economic Performance of Biogas-Fueled Micro Gas Turbine Cogeneration Systems in Sewage Treatment Plants: Effect of Prime Mover Generation Capacity

The optimum size of Micro Gas Turbine Cogeneration Systems (MGT-CGSs) in a Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) in terms of its economic performance was investigated. A STP operating in a cold region was adopted as a model and was scaled down to obtain different size ratios. It was also assumed to operate i...
