An externally fired evaporative gas turbine cycle for small scale biomass CHP production
- Vrije Univ. Brussel, Brussels (Belgium). Dept. of Mechanics
The present paper reports on a demonstration project supported by the Thermie program of the Commission of the European Communities. A CHP plant fueled by product gas from a biomass fluidized bed gasifier has been designed. The target scale being 1 to 5 MWe, atmospheric gasification and external firing through a high temperature metallic heat exchanger are proposed. Water injection next to the compressor is included to enhance power output and to allow flexible power to beat ratios. The project is to be installed at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel. The scale is 500 kWe, for production of power and heat for the University campus district heating. The paper reports on the design phase. Emphasis is put on the flexibility aspects through off-design simulations of the cycle. The demonstration phase is scheduled for spring 1995.
