e-infrastructure Roadmap for Open Science in Agriculture

A bibliometric study

The e-ROSA project seeks to build a shared vision of a future sustainable e-infrastructure for research and education in agriculture in order to promote Open Science in this field and as such contribute to addressing related societal challenges. In order to achieve this goal, e-ROSA’s first objective is to bring together the relevant scientific communities and stakeholders and engage them in the process of coelaboration of an ambitious, practical roadmap that provides the basis for the design and implementation of such an e-infrastructure in the years to come.

This website highlights the results of a bibliometric analysis conducted at a global scale in order to identify key scientists and associated research performing organisations (e.g. public research institutes, universities, Research & Development departments of private companies) that work in the field of agricultural data sources and services.

Title

Modification and tuning of diesel bus engine for biogas electricity production

en
Abstract

This study is to convert and tune a bus diesel engine for electricity production in a farm using biogas as fuel. The engine under study was a Hino K-13CTI 13,000cc 24 valve turbocharged engine coupled to a 3-phase 4-pole induction motor to produce electricity at 50 Hz. Modifications included an addition of biogas carburettor for air-fuel mixing, replacing the fuel injection system with spark ignition system, reduction of compression ratio from the original 16: 1 to 8: 1 using a cylinder head spacer, and modification of the turbocharger waste gate so the boost pressure can be adjusted. When the induction motor was synchronised to the power grid, the running speed of the engine was 1,500 rpm. Optimal engine efficiency was achieved at 28.6% by setting the lambda factor at 1.097, ignition timing at 54 degrees before top dead center, and the turbocharger boost at 56 kPa. With this setting, the generator power output was 134.20 kilowatt with emission of CO and NO(X) being 1,154 and 896 ppm respectively.
