Özet

An optimum diesel engine load condition with higher thermal efficiency and energy management has been the foremost challenge in the renewable energy research field. Modern trends involve nano additives for obtaining high performing biodiesel blends. Considering the above-mentioned factors, an experimental study along with statistical analysis has been performed with variation of compression ratio (16, 17.5 & 18), ZrO2 nano additive (50, 100 & 150 ppm) and load (50, 75 & 100 %). The optimization was accomplished by diminishing the BSFC, NOx, HC, CO, and increasing the BTE, CO2 using the approach of desirability. From the obtained results, the optimum operating conditions of the engine were found to be 75 % load, 18:1 compression ratio, and 150 ppm ZrO2 nano additive. The actual values at optimized conditions are obtained as BSFC (0.27 kg/kWh), BTE (33.37 %), CO (0.71 %), CO2 (8.69 %), NOx (1270 ppm), HC (62 %) and Smoke (25.20 %) with error less than 5 %. It has been observed that the BSFC of the proposed biodiesel-diesel blend is lower than that of pure diesel in all levels of power output. The biodiesel fuelled diesel engine is integrated as backup power in autonomous microgrid with main power as solar PV system operated at MPPT mode. A hybrid power system based on solar PV and biodiesel generator set up is the better alternative to emission-intensive fossil fuel and intermittent renewable.
