In the currently reported work, three typical mixtures of H2, CO, CH4, CO2, and N2 have been considered as representative of the producer gas (syngas) coming from biomass gasification. Syngas is being recognized as a viable energy source worldwide, particularly for stationary power generation. However, there are gaps in the fundamental understand of syngas combustion characteristics, especially at elevated pressures that are relevant to practical combustors. In this work, constant volume spherical expanding flames of three typical syngas compositions resulting from biomass gasification have been employed to measure the laminar burning velocities for pressures ranges between 1.0 and 20 bar tanking into account the stretch effect on burning velocity. Over the ranges studied, the burning velocities are fit by a functional form Su=Su0(T/T0)α(P/P0)β; and the dependencies of α and β upon the equivalence ratio of mixture are also given. Conclusion can be drawn that the burning velocity decreases with the increase of pressure. In opposite, an increase in temperature induces an increase of the burning velocity. The higher burning velocity value is obtained for downdraft syngas. This result is endorsed to the higher heat value, lower dilution and higher volume percentage of hydrogen in the downdraft syngas.

In the proposed paper for this conference, three typical mixtures of H2, CO, CH4, CO2 and N2 have been considered as representative of the producer gas (syngas) resulting from biomass gasification. Syngas is being recognized worldwide as a viable energy source, particularly for stationary power generation. However, there are gaps in the fundamental understanding of syngas combustion characteristics, particularly at elevated pressures that are relevant to practical combustors. In this work, constant volume spherical expanding flames of three typical syngas compositions have been employed to measure the laminar burning velocity for pressures ranges between 1.0 and 20 bar. Over the ranges studied, the burning velocities are fitted by the functional formula of Metghalchi and Keck. Conclusion can be drawn that the burning velocity decreases with the increase of pressure. In opposite, the increase of temperature induces the increase of burning velocity. The higher burning velocity value is obtained for the downdraft syngas. This result is endorsed to the higher heat value, lower dilution and higher volume percentage of hydrogen in the downdraft syngas.

A comprehensive process model is developed for high temperature air – steam biomass gasification in a downdraft gasifier using the ASPEN PLUS simulator. The simulation results are compared with the experimental data obtained through pilot scale downdraft gasifier. In this study, the model is used to investigate the effects of gasifying agent preheating, equivalence ratio (ER), and steam/biomass (S/B) on producer gas composition, high heating value (HHV), and cold gas efficiency (CGE). Results indicate that H2 and CO contents have increased when gasifying agent preheating is used, while gasifying agent preheating has no effect with H2 and CO at high ER. At high level of S/B, the concentrations of H2 and CO are related with water-gas shift reaction in significant. HHV and CGE depend on the concentrations of H2 and CO in producer gas, which can increase by preheated gasifying agent. However, gasifying agent preheating should apply with waste heat from the process because there is no additional cost of energy price.

Gasification Process

The interest in the thermochemical conversion of biomass for producer gas production since last decade has increased because of the growing attention to the application of sustainable energy resources. Application of biomass resources is a valid alternative to fossil fuels as it is a renewable energy source. The valuable gaseous product obtained through thermochemical conversion of organic material is syngas, whereas the solid product obtained is char. This review deals with the state of the art of biomass gasification technologies and the quality of syngas gathered through the application of different gasifiers along with the effect of different operating parameters on the quality of producer gas. Main steps in gasification process including drying, oxidation, pyrolysis and reduction effects on syngas production and quality are presented in this review. An overview of various types of gasifiers used in lignocellulosic biomass gasification processes, fixed bed and fluidized bed and entrained flow gasifiers are discussed. The effects of various process parameters such as particle size, steam and biomass ratio, equivalence ratio, effects of temperature, pressure and gasifying agents are discussed. Depending on the priorities of several researchers, the optimum value of different anticipated productivities in the gasification process comprising better quality syngas production improved lower heating value, higher syngas production, improved cold gas efficiency, carbon conversion efficiency, production of char and tar have been reviewed.

The importance of efficient utilization of biomass as renewable energy in terms of global warming and resource shortages are well known and documented. Biomass gasification is a promising power technology especially for decentralized energy systems. Decisive progress has been made in the gasification technologies development during the last decade. This paper deals with the control and optimization problems for an isolated microgrid combining the renewable energy sources (solar energy and biomass gasification) with a diesel power plant. The control problem of an isolated microgrid is formulated as a Markov decision process and we studied how reinforcement learning can be employed to address this problem to minimize the total system cost. The most economic microgrid configuration was found, and it uses biomass gasification units with an internal combustion engine operating both in single-fuel mode (producer gas) and in dual-fuel mode (diesel fuel and producer gas).
