Techno-Economic Analysis of Municipal Solid Waste Gasification

The main objective of the paper is the check the feasibility and viability of the MSW Gasification project. In this paper, the total population of the city Varanasi is studied, and the total waste generated per capita per day is studied through which total waste generated by the city was analyzed. The main focus is on the RDF/SRF which is used for combustion at last for electricity generation. A brief on the composition of SRF is also studied. Also the percentage of RDF generated by the city is discussed. For the purpose of economic analysis, calculation of energy and power was done. For economic analysis, two terms have been analysed, i.e., Net Present Value (NPV) and Levelised Cost of Electricity (LCOE).
