| dc.description.abstract | The variable energy characteristics of solid wastes, biomass and other low grade fuels, when utilized in cogeneration applications, introduce several additional plant design considerations. The effects of longer term heating value and/or quantity variability of these energy sources, beyond that which can be outdated by fuel storage, can have a significant impact on plant equipment selection and performance. This paper discusses the impact of this fuel variability on plant equipment sizing and energy production, and its effect on system economic evaluation. The effects of the range of heating values, quantity delivered, process heat to power requirement and use of supplemental fuel will be illustrated and described. The relative economics of alternatives for a specific cogeneration application will be developed and discussed. | en |
