This is the third time I am. Making this post I know they no go post am go front page because no be snake I kill I wrote this because of the earlier thread for * how can Nigeria achieve constant electricity *
To drive any economy, power not just any kind of power but I feel clean, safe and renewable power is key to driving investors to your country. We all must agree that Nigeria is no way near achieving the demand of electricity needed by her residential citizens not to talk of catering for the industrial sector as her total output for electricity is just a little above 3000 Megawatts.

We are hence poised and faced with the problem of generating electricity not just electricity but sustainable energy, and it pains me to know that Nigerians are only looking at Solar Energy as the only means for sustainable in Nigeria they fail to look at biotechnology. With biotechnology we can generate stable electricity from organic waste generate. And we all know that Nigeria generates enough organic waste from the booming population and livestock it has. Be it home or farm waste we could generate enough electricity needed to generate the electricity.
From farm organic waste alone Nigeria has about
400 million farm livestock ranging from chickens, cows, goats to ram etc.

What's Biogas: Biogas is a gas that's produced from the decomposition of organic biomass to produce biogas that can be used for lighting, cooking, fuel and electricity generation.
How Does It Work: We build a massive biogas plant which collects organic waste being COLLECTED after being Sorted out and it's then fed into the biogas plant which ferments under an anaerobic process to produce methane gas (biogas) which can be run through a GE GAS JEBANCHER GAS Engines to provide electricity.

Is This Feasible: Yes it's feasible because of the population of Nigeria and the amount of livestock closing to 400 million in Nigeria and the produce enough feed I.e organic matter needed to run the biogas plant can be gotten from our households wastes and farms. And so many countries like USA and China are already adopting this technology.
Example: China in Yan Qing District uses waste from 3 million chickens (Nigeria has about 200 million chickens) to produce 4,600 MWH of electricity through the GE JENBACHER GAS ENGINES.

Why Should We Key In:
This initiative aligns perfectly with the SDG, Sustainable Development Goals.
Provision of about 30 million direct and indirect jobs.
Massive economic growth due to the increase and stability in electricity generation.
Cleaner environment and less reduction in carbon from the ecosystem.
Effluent is a good source of fertilizer.

Sustainable, safe and renewable means of energy generation.
Can be used to fuel vehicles as we already have Scania biogas buses is India and Jakarta.
Costly at first but cheaper on the long run.
Cost Effectiveness: Nigeria in the last 15 years has spent over 30 trillion naira for power generation and fueling of generators, which equals to about 155 billion dollars yes don't doubt the figures the are so so real and accurate with just a 0.1 error margin.
To build a standard biogas plant that generates about 1024 MW of electricity costs just 1bn dollars, multiple that by 155 dollars Nigeria has spent in the last 15 years we should have had about 155000 MW of electricity if we had keyed into this technology a long time ago. Good thing is that it's never to late to make amends as long as there is life, because life brings hope let's all join hands and achieve this together.

Conclusion
Decided to focus more on biogas because it's relatively unknown, we could still generate enough electricity from solar and wind energy, as from solar alone China generates about 320 GW from solar and wind alone, Why can't Nigeria look into this aspect and in solving the long lingering energy crisis?
Please if you know you are passionate about this let's all join hands together and start a massive shake up and mobilization to create awareness and generate funds to run this projects successful, imagine we start importing livestock water from other countries or we start importing dirts from other countries weird right we could achieve this if we the youths join hands together and join my team as we have already developed a framework to achieving this.

CrimePhotos: Man Who Killed His Pretty Banker Babe, Caught In Border Trying 2 Escape by jaelz(op): 9:10am On Aug 05, 2017
The suspected man who killed his girlfriend after she spent the night at his place, has been nabbed along the border last night trying to escape to another country.

TORI News reported on Thursday that a man identified as Andrew Okoth, was currently on the run after Police operatives discovered the body of his girlfriend who is an employee of Tropical Bank of Africa, Kampala, Uganda.

A Police source who had disclosed that the victim identified as Fahima Natoolo was murdered on Sunday morning, adding that Okoth had asked her to spend a night with him at his home in Mbalwa Nabwojjo, a Kampala suburb.

The discovery of Natoolo’s body follows a missing person query posted by a friend on Facebook on Saturday.

"They were last seen together at Red i Bar in Lugogo UMA Showgrounds on Saturday, nobody has seen or heard from them since,” Natoolo’s friend said.

According to a new report, the suspected killer of his girlfriend, was apprehended along the Uganda-Kenya border last night trying to escape to Nairobi.

At the time of arrest, he had injuries on his right arm and left leg. Fahima and Okoth have a child together and had separated, but kept in touch for the sake of the child.

BusinessCalculatin Your Biogas Production Rate by jaelz(op): 11:55am On Jun 02, 2017
Overview

The size of the biogas plant depends on the quantity, quality and kind of available biomass and on the digesting temperature. The following points should be considered.


Determinig Gas Demand for Domestic Use

The gas demand can be defined on the basis of energy consumed previously. For example, 1 kg firewood then corresponds to 200 l biogas, 1 kg dried cow dung corresponds to 100 l biogas and 1 kg charcoal corresponds to 500 l biogas.

The gas demand can also be defined using the daily cooking times. The gas consumption per person and meal lies between 150 and 300 liter biogas. For one liter water to be cooked 30-40 l biogas, for 1/2 kg rice 120-140 l and for 1/2 kg legumes 160-190 l are required.

Compared to other gases, biogas needs less air for combustion. Therefore, conventional gas appliances need larger gas jets when they are used for biogas combustion. About 5.7 liters of air are required for the complete combustion of one liter of biogas, while for butane 30.9 liters and for propane 23.8 liters are required.


Sizing the Digester

The size of the digester, i.e. the digester volume Vd, is determined on the basis of the chosen retention time RT and the daily substrate input quantity Sd.


V_\text{d}= S_\text{d}*R_\text{T} [ m3 = m3/day × number of days ]

The retention time, in turn, is determined by the chosen/given digesting temperature. For an unheated biogas plant, the temperature prevailing in the digester can be assumed as 1-2 Kelvin above the soil temperature. Seasonal variation must be given due consideration, however, i.e. the digester must be sized for the least favorable season of the year. For a plant of simple design, the retention time should amount to at least 40 days. Practical experience shows that retention times of 60-80 days, or even 100 days or more, are no rarity when there is a shortage of substrate. On the other hand, extra-long retention times can increase the gas yield by as much as 40%.


The substrate input depends on how much water has to be added to the substrate in order to arrive at a solids content of 4-8%.

Substrate input (Sd) = biomass (B) + water (W) [m3/d]

In most agricultural biogas plants, the mixing ratio for dung (cattle and / or pigs) and water (B:W) amounts to between 1:3 and 2:1.


Calculating the Daily Gas Production G

The amount of biogas generated each day G [m3 gas/d], is calculated on the basis of the specific gas yield Gy of the substrate and the daily substrate input Sd.

The calculation can be based on:

The volatile solids content VS

G = VS × Gy(solids) [ m3/d = kg × m3/(d×kg) ]

the weight of the moist mass B

G = B × Gy(moist mass) [ m3/d = kg × m3/(d×kg) ]

standard gas-yield values per livestock unit LSU

G = number of LSU × Gy(species) [ m3/d = number× m3/(d×number) ]

The temperature dependency is given by:

Gy(T,RT) = mGy × f(T,RT)

where

Gy(T,RT) = gas yield as a function of digester temperature and retention time
mGy = average specific gas yield, e.g. l/kg volatile solids content
f(T,RT) = multiplier for the gas yield as a function of digester temperature T and retention time RT

As a rule, it is advisable to calculate according to several different methods, since the available basic data are usually very imprecise, so that a higher degree of sizing certainty can be achieved by comparing and averaging the results.


Establishing the Plant Parameters

The degree of safe-sizing certainty can be increased by defining a number of plant parameters:
Specific gas production Gp

i.e. the daily gas generation rate per m3 digester volume Vd, is calculated according to the following equation

Gp = G ÷ Vd [ (m3/d) / m3 ]

Digester loading Ld

The digester loading Ld is calculated from the daily total solids input TS/d or the daily volatile solids input VS/d and the digester volume Vd:

Ld_\text{T}=\frac{TS/d}{V_\text{d}} [ kg/(m3 d) ]

Ld_\text{V}=\frac{VS/d}{V_\text{d}} [ kg/(m3 d) ]


Then, a calculated parameter should be checked against data from comparable plants in the region or from pertinent literature.


Sizing the Gasholder

The size of the gasholder, i.e. the gasholder volume Vg, depends on the relative rates of gas generation and gas consumption. The gasholder must be designed to:

cover the peak consumption rate gcmax (->Vg1) and
hold the gas produced during the longest zero-consumption period tzmax (->Vg2)

Vg1 = gcmax × tcmax = vcmax Vg2 = Gh × tzmax

with

gcmax = maximum hourly gas consumption [m3/h] tcmax = time of maximum consumption [h] vcmax = maximum gas consumption [m3] Gh = hourly gas production [m3/h] = G ÷ 24 h/d tzmax = maximum zero-consumption time [h]

The larger Vg-value (Vg1 or Vg2) determines the size of the gasholder. A safety margin of 10-20% should be added:

Vg = 1.15 (±0.5) × max(Vg1,Vg2)

Practical experience shows that 40-60% of the daily gas production normally has to be stored.

The ratio Vd ÷ Vg (digester volume ÷ gasholder volume) is a major factor with regard to the basic design of the biogas plant. For a typical agricultural biogas plant, the Vd/Vg-ratio amounts to somewhere between 3:1 and 10:1, with 5:1 - 6:1 occuring most frequently.

BusinessCalculating Your Solar And Biogas Generation by jaelz(op): 11:44am On Jun 02, 2017
1 : How much energy can your battery store?

Battery capacity is measured in Amp Hours (e.g. 17AH). You need to convert this to Watt Hours by multiplying the AH figure by the battery voltage (e.g. 12V). this is just the simple calculation below

X (Battery size in AH) x Y (Battery Voltage) = Z (Power available in watt hours

For a 20AH, 12V battery the Watt Hours figure is 20(X) x 12(Y) = 240 WH (Z)

This means the battery could supply 240W for 1 hour, 120W for 2 hours or even 2w for 120 hours i.e. the more energy you take, the faster the battery discharges.

However you are never really able to take all the power from a battery as once the voltage drops below your equipment’s requirements it will no longer be able to power it. There is a simple rule of thumb for this but please check your battery’s specifications to make sure.

Lead acid battery’s will give you around 50% of their rated power. (i.e. a 10Ah battery has 5Ah of usable power)

Li-ion battery’s will give you around 80% of their rated power. (i.e. a 10Ah battery has 8Ah of usable power)


2 : How much energy will your appliance(s) use over a period of time?

The power consumption of appliances is generally given in Watts (e.g. A small portable TV is around 20W this information can be found on the data sticker that most electrical items have). To calculate the energy you will use over time, just multiply the power consumption by the hours of intended use.

The 20W TV in this example, on for 2 hours, will take 20 x 2 = 40WH from the battery.

Repeat this for all the appliances you wish to use, then add the results to establish total consumption like below.

TV 20w on for 2 hours per day = 40w per day

Radio 10w on for 5 hours per day = 50w per day

Water pump (20w) on for 20mins per day = 6.66w per day

Main Light 30w on for 3h per day = 90w per day

Spot lights 10w on for 1h per day = 10w per day

Total = 196w per day


3 : How much energy can a Solar panel generate over a period of time?

The final part to sizing your solar system is the solar panels. The power generation rating of a Solar panel is also given in Watts (e.g. our part number STP010, is a 10W solar panel). In Theory, to calculate the energy it can supply to the battery, you multiply Watts (of the solar panel) by the hours exposed to sunshine.

In practice it’s not a great way to calculate the output from a solar panel so we work to a few simple rules.

· We would generally advise that an average UK winters day will only give you 1 hours sunshine

· An average UK summers days will give you 6 hours of sunshine.

So in winter a 10w panel will provide 10w worth of energy back into your battery. (10w x 1 = 10w)

In Summer a 10w panel will provide 60w worth of energy back into your battery. (10w x 6 = 60w)

Using the above calculation takes into consideration any losses in the system from the regulator, cables and battery you may be using.



4 : Putting it all together to size your system.

Knowing your power requirements and the time of year you want to use the system is vital to this step. We will use the example above with a power requirement of 196w per day.

If this is the requirements for late spring to early Autumn use we could use this equation

Watts required / time of year sunshine hours = panel size → 196 / 6 = 32.6W panel

As we don’t make a 32.6w solar panel we would recommend looking at a 30w or 40w solar panel for this application.

However if this was an all year requirement i.e. also needed in the UK’s winter the numbers would change

Watts required / time of year sunshine hours = panel size → 196 / 1 = 196W panel

As we don’t make a 196w solar panel we would recommend looking at two 100w solar panels for this application.

The final Piece

The final Piece to complete your solar system is the Charge Controller or Voltage Regulator. Its basically the same thing just a different name.
