ABSTRACT
The article examines the environmental performance of a diesel generator that runs on a biofuel mixture. Biofuels are considered to be more environmentally friendly than traditional petroleum products and have become popular alternatives in the field of electricity production. To reduce dependence on petroleum fuels and decrease harmful exhaust-gas emissions from diesel generators, it is suggested to use biodiesel fuel and its mixture with diesel fuel. Various environmental indicators were measured and analyzed in this study, including the emissions of harmful substances, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides and particulates. By using biofuels, pollutant emissions are expected to be reduced because biofuels are made from renewable sources such as vegetable oils or biomass.
The results of the study show that the use of a biofuel mixture in a diesel generator leads to a significant reduction in the emission of harmful substances compared to the use of traditional petroleum products. A reduction in the emissions of carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides was found, which contributes to a reduction of the impact on climate change and air pollution. In addition, a decrease in particle emissions was noted, which contributes to the improvement of air quality and people’s health.
The goal was achieved by researching the impact of a mixture of diesel and biodiesel fuel on the technical, economic and environmental indicators of an autonomous diesel generator. The regulation of the composition of the fuel mixture ensured the preservation of the power of the generator in all its modes of operation, while reducing the cost of purchasing fuel by 10% and reducing the smokiness of exhaust gas by up to 57%, depending on the mode of operation of the diesel engine.

W artykule przeanalizowano wydajność środowiskową generatora diesla zasilanego mieszanką biopaliw. Biopaliwa są uważane za bardziej przyjazne dla środowiska niż tradycyjne produkty ropopochodne i stały się popularną alternatywą w dziedzinie produkcji energii elektrycznej. Aby zmniejszyć zależność od paliw ropopochodnych i obniżyć emisję szkodliwych gazów spalinowych z generatorów diesla, sugeruje się stosowanie paliwa biodiesel i jego mieszaniny z olejem napędowym. W niniejszym artykule zmierzono i przeanalizowano różne wskaźniki środowiskowe, w tym emisję szkodliwych substancji, dwutlenku węgla, tlenków azotu i cząstek stałych. Oczekuje się, że dzięki zastosowaniu biopaliw emisja zanieczyszczeń zostanie zmniejszona, ponieważ biopaliwa są wytwarzane ze źródeł odnawialnych, takich jak oleje roślinne lub biomasa. Wyniki analizy pokazują, że zastosowanie mieszanki biopaliw w generatorze diesla prowadzi do znacznego zmniejszenia emisji szkodliwych substancji w porównaniu z wykorzystaniem tradycyjnych produktów ropopochodnych. Stwierdzono zmniejszenie emisji dwutlenku węgla i tlenków azotu, co przyczynia się do redukcji wpływu na zmiany klimatyczne i zanieczyszczenie powietrza. Ponadto odnotowano spadek emisji cząstek stałych, co przyczynia się do poprawy jakości powietrza i zdrowia ludzi.
Cel został osiągnięty poprzez zbadanie wpływu mieszanki oleju napędowego i biodiesla na wskaźniki techniczne, ekonomiczne i środowiskowe autonomicznego generatora diesla. Regulacja składu mieszanki paliwowej zapewniła zachowanie mocy generatora we wszystkich trybach jego pracy, przy jednoczesnym obniżeniu kosztów zakupu paliwa o 10% i zmniejszeniu zadymienia spalin nawet o 57%, w zależności od trybu pracy silnika wysokoprężnego.
