Technical and economic aspects of biomass gasification for electricity generation in agriculture

Publisher: Technical Information Service ; Bangkok ; October 1986Description: 21 pSubject(s): BIOMASS ENERGY | ENERGY | GASIFICATION | RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES | ELECTRICITYSummary: The paper reports on a protracted performance test run with a medium-power (33 KVA) gasificator-generating set to assess the technical and operating feasibility of this technology for farming purposes. A wood-fuelled gasifier feeding a generating set was laboratory-tested for three months and then installed in a pro-Valley cattle farm and operated under variable conditions. A form was prepared for the operating personnel to record daily such key parameters as biomass characteristics and consumption; process effluents; power output and use; repairs and maintenance. While the technical parameters indicated good efficiency and reliability, the economy of the plant, according to the Net Present Value method, shows that a positive economic balance is achieved only by cogeneration and with full utilization of output heat.| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
