I. INTRODUCTION
The natural resources in the form of fossil fuels are the raw
materials from which electrical energy is generated and the
day to day life of the people of todays world is solely
dependent on the electrical energy [1]. Researchers in this
field say that the reserved gas will be finished soon, and
usage of gas is increasing day by day. In developing countries,
especially in Bangladesh, there is not enough generation of
electrical energy to keep up with the demand, and there is a
scarcity of raw materials for producing the energy.
Alternative sources are now explored to prepare for the future
dearth of traditional energy sources. The waste materials can
be a good source of energy as the amount of waste is
increasing every day, and can help in meeting the electrical
energy not only in Bangladesh but also in the world. Many
countries are now switching to renewable energy sources, as
they are clean and a suitable substitute for fossil fuels [2].
Some part of the world have already established a few waste
to energy power plants but this is not enough and there is a
huge scope of increasing the overall performance of the
systems [3].

= 1,300,000 * .16
= BDT. 208,000
B. Operational Cost
Operational costs including salaries, maintenance and
miscellaneous will be, BDT. 15,000
So yearly operational cost, OC = (15,000*12) = BDT.
180,000
C. Revenue
From Electricity:
Rated Capacity 24kW
Hours of operation per day, 2 Hrs
Energy generated in a day (24kW*2h) = 48kWh
Energy generated in a year (48kWh*365) = 17520 kWh
Rate of quick rental power in Bangladesh is BDT. 14 to BDT.
17 per kWh [13]

Benefits is total revenue earned, B = BDT. 442,800
M&O costs = BDT. 180,000

Clearly B/C ratio is greater than 1. So the investment is
justified.
