Thermodynamic Modelling Of Biomass Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (bigcc) Power Generation System

An attractive and practicable possibility of biomass utilization for energy production isrngasification integrated with a combined cycle. This technology seems to have the possibility tornreach high efficiencies based on a fundamentally clean and renewable fuel.rnBiomass Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (BIGCC) systems replace the traditionalrncombustor with a gasifier and gas turbine. Exhaust heat from the gas turbine is used to producernsteam for a conventional steam turbine. The gas and steam turbines operate together as arncombined cycle.rnThis paper investigates the ultimate potential for application of Biomass Integrated GasificationrnCombined Cycle (BIGCC) to biomass based power systems. It describes the elements of therngasification system and the methods to model the components of BIGCC systemrnthermodynamically.rnA computer program using MATLAB is used to estimate the syngas composition of therngasification system using a down draft gasifier and wood as input. It predicts the effects ofrnmoisture content, temperature, pressure, and air to fuel ratio on syngas composition.rnThis study also includes the economic importance of Biomass Integrated Gasification CombinedrnCycle (BIGCC) system over conventional bio-fuelled power plants
