Abstract

A good chunk of population of Bangladesh are not blessed with electricity, are living in medieval conditions, use charcoal and wood as the sources of energy, and of course, fire hydrocarbons for lighting their houses. For sustainable development, this huge population should be brought under the coverage of electricity, which is very difficult for country like Bangladesh as natural resources are scarce and budget is inadequate. But with proper planning, widespread rollout of renewable sources could change the scenario and provide a facelift to the insipid pastoral Bangladesh. As solar panels are costly, wind power could be the mantra for the future. Despite of the huge potential, very limited works have been done on assessment and development of biogas technology. This paper has attempted to assess the performances of hypothetical wind farms at different heights at different locations of Bangladesh in terms of plant capacity factor (PCF).
