Summary. Researchers modeled and optimized a biogas-diesel hybrid microgrid system for rural electrification using MATLAB and HOMER software. At 4 tons of biomass production, the system runs entirely on biogas, generating 452,820 kWh annually at $0.0484 per kilowatt-hour. The hybrid biogas system reduces costs by 85% compared to diesel-only operation, making it economically viable for rural areas.
