Design of the Biomass Collection and Conversion Logistics with Process Flow Analysis of Cow Dung

What is it about?

This study presents a digital tool designed to improve how cow dung is collected, processed, and converted into useful energy products like biogas and solid fuels. The tool helps optimize the supply process and calculates the performance of the conversion plant. It is connected to EnerghxPlus, an energy management platform, to streamline data input and system analysis. Using real experiments at the ZEV research facility, the tool is tested to ensure accuracy. An API is also developed to automate data transfer and assist in designing renewable energy systems. The goal is to make cow dung conversion more efficient and practical for energy production.
