Fuel efficiency and power (28 May 08)
that diesel fuel versus biofuels has to generating electrical energy. The model cal-
culated that, of the total energy produced, the biofuels contributed 77.26% of the
required energy and diesel fuel contributed 22.74%.
Figure 12 illustrates the effect of the introduction of ethanol on fuel consump-
tion of the generator. Fuel consumption matches closely with the increase in power
