Overall, 523.50 kW of electricity could be generated from the available surplus rice straw residue within 10,000 ha of area. As mentioned earlier, this estimate considers 20% net conversion efficiency of power plant and throughout the yearplant operation. However, Potential electric power capacity among the crop patches varies from >1 kW to <30 kW. Croppatch wise electricity generation potential in the study area is also presented in Table 2. As stated earlier, village level surplus rice straw based potential electric power capacity is estimated for 27 villages, which are lying within the 10,000 ha study area. About 3731 ha of rice crop lands are spatially distributed among the villages with variation in cropland availability as shown in Fig. 3(a). The villages are grouped based on the share of cropped area to their respective geographical area. Share of crop area to village area ranges between 23% and 47% for 8 villages. While for 16 villages the share ranges between 50% and 75%. There are two villages having major share (>75%) devoted for cropland.Thus, it is observed that, agriculture is the major land use pattern in the villages of the region.
