Downdraft gasifier Imbert type and clean-up system design, for small scale powe...
Mendonça, Miguel; Mantilla, Victor; Patela, João; Silva, Valter; Resende, FernandaThis paper presents a prototype of fuel gas generation system from biomass gasification. It comprises the small scale downdraft gasifier and the gas cleaning system aiming the generation of combustible gas (producer gas) suitable to run the internal combustion engine. This work is part of a project concerning the development of a compact power generation equipment, which aims the valorization of forest and rura...
Using biomass gasification for small scale power generation systems: specificat...
Resende, Fernanda; Silva, V.F.; Mendonça, Miguel; Barbosa, António Manuel; Brito, Paulo; Azevedo, João; Almeida, Arlindo; Gomes, HelderThe development of small-scale power generation units based on biomass gasification is an effective mean to meet the growth interest of deployment of local power generation exploiting endogenous renewable energy sources. However, significant research and development activities are required towards the deployment of cost-effective solutions suitable to be used in several applications and with different biomass f...
Small scale power generation unit using biomass gasification: the SUBe project
Resende, Fernanda; Silva, Valter; Mendonça, Miguel; Barbosa, António Manuel; Brito, Paulo; Azevedo, João; Almeida, Arlindo; Gomes, HelderThis paper presents a research and development project aiming to demonstrate the technical feasibility of using forest biomass for power generation using small scale systems. For this purpose, an experimental setup, suitable to be used as a distributed generation unit, has been developed. Then, key developments of this project rely on the design and development of the biomass gasifier prototype as well as on th...
