A model for the optimal dimensioning of biomass-fuelled electric power plants.

摘要

The proposed simplified model is able to determine the effect of technical and economic parameters on the profitability of biomass fuelled electric power plants. It is particularly suitable for preliminary feasibility assessments of individual plants and for analysing the effectiveness of specific incentives geared to encouraging energy applications of biomass. The key factors for achieving good economic performance are the thermal energy utilization factor, which must be as high as possible, and the investments which, for biomass, are about double those for modern conventional gas-turbine plants.
