Feasibility of husk-fuelled steam engines as prime mover of grid-connected generators under the Thai very small renewable energy power producer (VSPP) program

Valorization of lignocellulosic rice husk producing biosilica and biofuels—a review

“…Subsequently, Sookkumnerd et al included the earnings from the sale of additional electricity generated by the steam engines to a power grid in their study. Consequently, it was found that adding grid-connected generators to the RH-based stream engines improved the financial performance of rice mills with a daily capacity of 120 tons of rice [133].…”

Debt for brands: tracking down a bias in financing photovoltaic projects in Germany

“…Recent contributions underline the relevance of renewable energy in the discourse of cleaner production (e.g. D' Alessandro et al, 2010;Dovi et al, 2009;Sookkumnerd et al, 2007;Kaldellis et al, 2009;Battaglini et al, 2009;Yusoff, 2006;Zuluaga and Dyner, 2007;Nguyen et al, 2010;Narodoslawsky et al, 2008;Klemes et al, 2010;Smyth et al, 2010); discussions so far cover different types of renewable energy production (e.g. Sookkumnerd et al, 2007;Yusoff, 2006;Nguyen et al, 2010), different types of industries (Narodoslawsky et al, 2008;Smyth et al, 2010) or focus on different geographic regions (Sookkumnerd et al, 2007;Kaldellis et al, 2009;Zuluaga and Dyner, 2007;Smyth et al, 2010).…”

Utilization of rice-husk packed beds as fine dust collectors at heavy dust loadings

“…1 (b). Though the rice husks are widely used as renewable fuel for cogeneration of steam and electricity, it is very practical to employ the rice husk as packed bed media for filtering out fugitive fine dust from the rice mill [1,2]. In addition, collection of fine dust on the surface of rice husks would not only suppress air pollution due to the fugitive dust emission from the rice mills but also slightly increase the flammable portion, resulting in an expectation of higher heating value.…”
