Abstract
This study is about characteristics of generating efficiency and $NO_x$ emissions of a 30 kW gas engine generator in case of using model biogas with hydrogen addition. In this case, both generating efficiency and $NO_x$ emissions are lower than the case of using urban gas (LNG). However, generating efficiency and $NO_x$ emissions are higher than the case of using model biogas only. It means that adding hydrogen which has a high flame propagation velocity has the possibility to improve the generating efficiency, but simultaneously it is also able to increase the $NO_x$ emissions of a gas engine generator.
