Abstract:
Biomass utilization as an alternative to the fossil fuels is of high interest, especially when the resulting waste heat is also captured and exploited as useful thermal energy source, in CHP energy systems. The aim of this paper is to present the development of a Decision Support System for the assessment of Biomass Energy Systems implementing the existing biomass combustion technologies, including Biomass Gasification, Integrated Gas Turbine-Steam Generator, Co-Firing, and Biomass Direct Combustion models for the production of Power and Thermal energy. As example a district heating system utilizing the produced thermal energy is examined, taking into consideration the optimum design of the building structures of the urban settlement next to the area of the plant. The objective of this task is to compile the main design variables of the energy model as well as the environmental advantages, against other energy systems using fossil fuels and the financial viability of relevant investment.
