This model uses various input parameters, including different types and quantities of slurry and corn silage. Four different scenarios were developed to represent potential plant sizes, each evaluated using key economic indicators: net present value, breakthrough price, and internal rate of return. A scenario sensitivity analysis was conducted to assess the effects of changes in investment costs, fluctuations in energy prices, and the addition of corn silage to the anaerobic digestion process. The results highlight significant differences in economic viability across the scenarios, with some demonstrating positive financial outcomes and shorter payback periods and others indicating potential financial risks and longer recovery times under certain conditions. The analysis suggests that smaller micro biogas plants may struggle to achieve profitability without optimizing input ratios or reducing costs, whereas larger plants show more favorable economic indicators, provided certain conditions are met. Furthermore, the economic efficiency improves when adding maize silage to the fermentor mixture. micro biogas plant biogas economic efficiency simulation true true true Angleški jezik Angleški jezik Znanstveno delo 2024-11-27 14:34:12 2024-11-27 14:34:12 2025-08-11 11:33:51 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 Str. 1-16 Št. članka 5066 Letn. 17 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno apc 2024-10-02 2024-10-08 2024-10-11 620.925:58:631.1:004.414.23 211409923 10.3390/en17205066 1996-1073 https://www.mdpi.com/1996-1073/17/20/5066 1 49eb7837-acc4-11ef-82e2-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=186979 Vindis-2024-Economic.pdf Vindis-2024-Economic.pdf 1 36866F7DF19782930DEFF6EC6FA80B84 fdd1999749fb851a02ee6d218862d9031bc5053ab36fd6e10cc96b3a2e750f0d ed407161-ad82-11ef-88e2-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=186998 Fakulteta za kmetijstvo in biosistemske vede 0 0 0
