Biofuel gasification combined heat and power - new implementation opportunities resulting from combined supply of process steam and district heating

摘要: The economics of biofuel combined heat and power (CHP) depend on many technical, economic political factors. goal this study is to investigate how supply process steam district heating can improve profitability biofuelled CHP plant investments in small medium-sized applications. Focus placed advanced gasification cycle technologies with high electric production potential, compared conventional turbine technology. assesses options a Swedish municipality that includes both an industrial consumer network. results show the clear advantage type co-operation. Under assumed conditions for study, optimally sized unit achieves lowest cost electricity. However, gasification-based generate significantly more electricity than technology, which higher net revenue pressurised plant.
