DRAFT SPECIFICATIONS
We're starting with a blank page to be filled in by discussion and contributions. I've listed major categories and some example specs from suppliers below.
I. PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS AND BENCHMARKS
A. Electrical Output: 200 kWe
- 220 kWe Full Load Required on Dual Fuelled Diesel
- Factory load or connect to grid (or mini grid)?
B. Thermal Output:
- 150 kWth
- 85 C to Dry Kilns, Accumulator or District Heat Distribution
C. Capacity Factor, Availability, Operating Hours
- 4000 hours at 200 kWe = 4000/8760 = 45% capacity factor
D. Economic Targets, $/kWh, $/kcal
- Installed $3000/kWe
- Cost of fuel gas = 50% of diesel or LP
- Cost of electricity = 80% of diesel or LP based power
II. MAJOR COMPONENTS
A. FUEL PREPARATION: SIZING
B. FUEL PREPARTION: DRYING
C. GASIFIER AND FEED SYSTEM
D. ASH HANDLING
E. HOT GAS COOLING
F. GAS CLEANING
G. ENGINE-GENERATOR SYSTEM
H. OTHER THERMAL/ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS (e.g. ORMAT, SPILLING)
I. HEAT SYSTEM
J. WASTEWATER TREATMENT
K. GAS HANDLING, COMPRESSION, STORAGE
L. EMISSIONS
