Has anyone done a recent analysis of the cost and performance of small scale
(<100 kWe, <200 kWe) gasifiers? We have seen several gasifiers on the market
in the last several years but it is not clear how long they actually operate
during the year (hours/year), how much heat or power (kWh/yr) they produce,
what their average load factor is (40% of nameplate?), or what it actually
costs or own and operate them.
Do we have any data for Borealis/Spanner Re2, Superior Gasification, All
Power Labs, Ankur Scientific, Victory Gasworks, CarboConsult, Biosynergi,
Community Power Corporation, Thompson Spaven, Planet Green, BETEL (India),
3i Energy Systems, Husk Power, Arbor Electrogen, Volter?
What about the next scale of >200kWe<2000kWe? Cogebio, Xylowatt, Biogen,
Advanced Gasification Technologies, Evergreen Energy, Guascor, Milena,
Proton Power, PRMEnergy, Primenergy, Zeropoint Cleantech. Mothermik, Dall
Energy, Babcock Volund, Biomass Engineering, BETEL (India), Diversified
Renewable Technology, Synkraft,Xylogas, CleanSTGas, Gussing Renewable
Energy,Weiss, Agnion, MEVA, Xylopower, Pyrofoce
How many of these systems can document 2,000, 4,000, or 8,000 hours total or
per year? What is a typical capacity factor for these systems. Are any of
them run in commercial conditions?
Thanks
