The goal of this paper is to study the technical feasibility of a Customized Biogas based Distributed Power System, which can be installed in the backyard of a 1500 m2 house to meet the requirements of operating a 2KWh Heater or air conditioner during winters and summers respectively at night for 8 hours. A complete survey of Faridabad’s Municipal Waste and its disposal has been studied as well as a small electric power generation based on biogas produced from the fruit and vegetable fraction of this waste has been developed. The power quality issues of Faridabad can be addressed to some extent at the individual level with the help of distributed power systems. Some environmental issues may also be address by using the slurry as organic manure for irrigation. The economic factor may also be included which would include Energy cost, carbon credits, manure and employment generation.
