Demonstration of a 200-kilowatt biomass fueled power plant. Report for February 1992-August 1994

The paper discusses the demonstration of a 200-kW biomass-fueled electric power plant. The objective of the demonstration is to evaluate the operating and performance characteristics of the system using lumber wastes for fuel. It is scheduled to accumulate 8000 hours of operation over a period of one to two years. Energeo`s Agripower unit operates with an open Brayton cycle using a fluid-bed combustor and several heat exchangers to heat compressed air which, in turn, drives a turbine-generator (T-G) set.
