Assignment on Power Plant (Waste to Electricity)
ASSIGNMENT ON
POWER PLANT
(Waste to Electricity)
1. An explanation of the industry and the companies within is as they exist currently
Power Grid Company of Bangladesh (PGCB) was created under the restructuring process of Power Sector in Bangladesh with the objective of bringing about commercial environment including increase in efficiency, establishment of accountability and dynamism in accomplishing its functions. PGCB was incorporated in November 1996 with an authorized capital of Tk.10 billion. It was entrusted with the responsibility to own the national power grid and to operate and expand the same with efficiency. Pursuant to Government decision to transfer of transmission assets to PGCB from Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) and Dhaka Power Distribution Company (DPDC), former DESA, PGCB has completed taking over of all the transmission assets on 31.12.2003 and operating them.
Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) has developed new technologies for the recovery of energy from various wastes including municipal solid wastes (MSW). The project dealing with the production of biogas and compost from large quantities of Korean food wastes. The anaerobic process plant of this project, located at the Anyang City incinerator site, produces biogas and humus from the treatment of 5 tonnes/day MSW containing approximately 3 tonnes of food waste. The major achievements of this project are; 1) development of a two-phase anaerobic process optimised for Korean food waste treatment and biogas (energy) recovery; 2) development of a sorting pre-treatment process suitable for Korean MSW collection systems; 3) demonstration of the feasibility of Korean food waste treatment as one component of an integrated waste management system including landfill and incineration. In case of the 15 tonnes/day food waste treatment capacity, the operational cost of the plant was estimated to be $25/tonne of food waste. Treatment and the construction costs
