[Gasification] Mini Grid Load Following With a Biomass Gasifier

[Thomas Koch]

Tom

Load response on small gasifiers - fixed bed downdraft or fixed bed staged  gasifiers I assume -  is extremely good as there is a large inventory of char. The principle is used for automobiles.

Most of these gasifiers can go from 10 % lo0ad to 80 % load with in a few seconds.

Best regards

Tom

Emne: [Gasification] Mini Grid Load Following With a Biomass Gasifier

Does anyone have any experience or data to comment on the load response of biomass gasifiers?

We're looking at using a gasifier on a mini-grid in a remote community. The utility is looking for data to confirm that a biomass fired generator can follow load changes on a minute to minute basis. The gasifiers will be in the size range of 50-500 kWe.

Thanks
