Biomass integrated gasification combined cycle power generation with supplementary biomass firing: Energy and exergy based performance analysis

“…Therefore, the inlet exergy to the cycle (B in ) is somewhat greater than the net heat input Q in (refer Eqs. (12) and (14)). As a result of the difference between B in and Q in , the exergetic efficiency of the cycle (3) will always be somewhat lower than the thermal efficiency (h), though both the efficiencies have the same trend in their variations with the changes in parameters.…”

“…Some researchers suggested the co-firing of natural gas and producer gas in the GT combustor in order to increase the heating value of the fuel [12]. The other scheme uses natural gas as the fuel in the topping cycle combustion chamber (CC) and additionally burns biomass in a SCC before the heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) [13e15].…”

Fossil fuel savings, carbon emission reduction and economic attractiveness of medium-scale integrated biomass gasification combined cycle cogeneration plants

“…Technical, economic and environmental performance of the integrated biomass gasification power and co-generation plants have been so far analyzed by many authors [2,3,5,6,[8][9][10][11][12][13] and other. The common conclusion is that the technology is attractive as it leads to the highest level of energy effectiveness and emission reduction.…”

“…An amount of the non-renewable primary energy that is replaced within a regional energy system by a co-generation plant can be higher than 1.0 GJ per GJ of the biomass energy input [3,4]. According to Walter et al [5] in the middle run both co-fired and pure integrated biomass gasification plants can be a better option than capture and storage of CO 2 …”
