[Gasification] APL Gasifier in the Microgrid at the 2018 Verge Conference

[Anderson, Paul]

Jess,

Is the price of grid power so high there that it is economical to generate power with a biomass system to sell power to the grid?

Electrical power topics are a bit outside of my base of knowledge.  So, I cannot comment about splitting of 3-phase power.  Maybe just create the power in single (split) phase.

But I do know something about charcoal gasification that can run internal combustion (IC) engines.   And about the making of appropriate charcoal.  You could use the heat from burning the pyrolysis gases for your drying purposes.

Much depends on the amount of biomass you have available.  Some places are with such excess biomass that people pay to get rid of it, or give it freely.  A little more about your situation could clear that topic.  Much depends on how much you really need to create your own power with biomass.

HI Paul,

I run a woodchip/firewood business.

We are offgrid, with 3.5 kw of solar and a 5kw generator as backup.

We can get a connection to the grid of 30kwe but only single phase.

I would like to source a chp unit to provide power to us and also to the grid, plus use any heat for drying woodchip.

I presume you can split the 3 phase supply and export OK?

I am allright with nuts and bolts, currently running 2 biomass boilers and drying systems.

Thanks for your interest.

I have looked at the Spanner system but the price does not work with regards to the economic payback.

Yours,

Jess Christman

Jess,

Could you please describe your situation more completely.    In terms of needs for what power for how many people/ businesses.   Then several of us could possibly better assist you.

HI Tom,

I live in Scotland and wonder how All Power Labs PP30 is performing?

We are off grid and produce woodchip, so it would be a good fit. I am just concerned about reliability.

Jess
