Digital Twins and AI Management: Optimizing Biogas-Photovoltaic Systems for off-grid area

Biogas is often considered an energy alternative in off-grid areas, but a lack of knowledge, indifference towards biogas, and limited technical capacity prevent its promotion in these areas. In this paper, we proposed an IoT-based Intelligent intermixed biogas-photovoltaic system to address the challenges of fuel and energy supply in off-grid situations. This system was designed to provide reliable and clean energy for agricultural residents in underdeveloped regions. It incorporated a cloud server hosting AI algorithms, alongside sensor systems and data transmission networks within each biogas-photovoltaic hybrid installation. The system enables a affordable house-hold level of biogas production optimization, remote monitoring of biogas output, and remote maintenance.
