Abstract :
Nowadays, Power crisis is one of the greatest problems of Bangladesh. Most of the electricity produced in Bangladesh is based on non-renewable energy resources. The reserve of Natural resources or non-renewable energy sources such as: fossil fuels, oil, natural gas etc are limited. So this is the time to search such a system where the residential areas of Bangladesh become Energy Neutral. This paper demonstrates such a system in which an Energy Neutral Home (ENH) is designed and implemented for rural areas of Bangladesh. The designed system is able to meet the energy requirement with renewable energy resources without taking any electricity from grid. In this research, biogas is used as primary renewable energy source for the generation of electricity.
