Sharmin Sobhan, Tanvir Ahmad

Abstract: For sustainable development, balanced energy portfolio is required that is suited to the economic, social, environment and resource conditions of a specific region or the whole world. Energy resources are fossil fuels, nuclear sources and renewable resources. Conventional energy resources are limited as well as they are subjected to pollution due to combustion and chemical processes. Biogas, one of the renewable resources, is produced from various biomass sources through biochemical process. Electricity and heat can be produced from it with minor clean up. Bangladesh has a plenty biomass resources which can play an important role for country’s development. For electricity generation, control circuit is needed to have desired and controlled output. This paper addresses on biogas, its biochemical processes and electricity generation process from biogas. It also shows the potential and prospects of biogas electrification technology for rural Bangladesh. Paper explore mathematical model and explain actions of control circuits those are connected to the generator though simulation
