The Experimental Study of Pangium Edule Biodiesel in a High-Speed Diesel Generator for Biopower Electricity

Teuku Azuar Rizal et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the performance of a blend of pangium edule biodiesel in a power generator. The B30 blend achieved the highest engine power at low load and performed well at high load with the lowest fuel consumption, fuel consumption rate, and second highest thermal efficiency. Although there was a slight decrease in total power delivered, the overall performance was comparable to petroleum diesel.
