Energy and Exergy Analyses of an Integrated SOFC and Biomass Gasification System (part II): High Temperature Gas Cleaning Technology

In this paper, an integrated biomass gasifier–SOFC–GT–ORC system for decentralized power generation application is presented. The proposed system includes a gasification unit, a gas cleaning unit, a SOFC-GT hybrid system and an organic Rankine bottoming cycle. High temperature gas cleaning system (HTGCS), were proposed for this integration. The performance of the system is evaluated using thermodynamic calculations. The results obtained indicate that for the integrated biomass gasifier–SOFC–GT–ORC power generation plant the net electrical efficiency based on lower heating value (LHV) is 55.73%, when 2.3 MWe power was produced. The proposed system has been modeled using Cycle-Tempo software.
