Summary. Researchers designed a renewable energy system for a rural Nigerian community using biogas from agricultural waste to generate electricity and thermal outputs. The system combines three power cycles to produce 970 kW of electricity, meeting the 944 kW demand of Emure-Ekiti community, while also providing cooling, hot water, and greenhouse heating. The system achieved 62.72% energy efficiency and 23.49% exergy efficiency, addressing Nigeria's rural electrification gap where 40% lack electricity access.
