Here are some biogas titles available from Intermediate Technology

publishers [ their website is at bottom of list]. I recommend the GATE

titles by Ludwig Sasse. Best idea -- instead of purchasing them, try to

get them from Interlibrary Loan, then purchase only the ones you like.

 

[Also, here is the UN title (1984 I believe, so it's a little old)

Updated Guidebook on Biogas Development., 0000, ISBN: 9211192269,

United Nations, US Dollars 17.50., Out of Print.]

The wide variety of renewable energy resources and their highly

site-specific and variable nature, coupled with different types and

qualities of energy needs, pose a challenging problem to the designers

of Integrated Renewable Energy Systems (IRES). This paper discusses

some typical design scenarios and the formulation of designs using the

knowledge-based design tool IRES-KB with the aid of KAPPA[R]-PC

development tools. A remote village with no electrical grid connection

is chosen for this study since renewables are most likely to make their

greatest impact in such locations. The versatility of IRES-KB is brought

out in the discussion of the results. KEYWORDS Integrated Renewable

Energy Systems (IRES), IRES Design Scenarios, IRES Design Examples,

IRES Design Tradeoffs, Photovoltaic systems, Wind-Electric Conversion

Systems, Hybrid Systems, Biogas Usage, Renewable Energy System Design,

Stand Alone Energy System Design, Artificial Intelligence Applications,

Knowledge Based Design Approach. ]
