Abstract

Global municipal solid waste production is rising, causing significant environmental, health, and economic issues. Developed countries have advanced recycling technologies, but cities like Dhaka, Bangladesh—among the most densely populated-struggle with inadequate waste management. This feasibility study aims to improve environmental protection and create new energy sources by proposing a waste management system across Dhaka, focusing on waste valorization for bioenergy with optimized efficiency and minimal impact. The study includes design and optimization of a biomass-based power plant to meet the energy needs of EV charging stations and the national grid, evaluating its economic performance through discounted cash flow and payback period analyses. The paper explores the integration of an EV charging station powered by biogas, addressing the growing need for EV infrastructure in Dhaka. By evaluating biomass generators as a greener alternative to fossil fuels, the study analyzes the technical, economic, and environmental feasibility, including CO2 emissions, using HOMER Pro.

优化拟议的生物质发电机：利用电动汽车充电基础设施处理市民垃圾

全球城市固体废物产量不断增加，造成了严重的环境、健康和经济问题。发达国家拥有先进的回收利用技术，但像孟加拉国达卡这样人口最稠密的城市却因废物管理不善而苦苦挣扎。本可行性研究旨在通过在达卡建立一个废物管理系统来改善环境保护和创造新的能源，重点是以最优化的效率和最小化的影响将废物价值化为生物能源。该研究包括设计和优化生物质发电厂，以满足电动汽车充电站和国家电网的能源需求，并通过贴现现金流和投资回收期分析评估其经济效益。论文探讨了沼气供电电动汽车充电站的整合问题，以满足达卡对电动汽车基础设施日益增长的需求。通过评估生物质发电机作为化石燃料的绿色替代品，该研究使用 HOMER Pro 分析了技术、经济和环境可行性，包括二氧化碳排放量。
