Final report only available in german.
Until now major portions of biogenic solid fuels for small-scale power generation leave unexploited, because they cause big problems in common grate furnaces. The reason for that is above all the crucial high combustion temperature. By using small fluidized bed combustion for mini CHP concepts, an efficient combustion cooling through an integrated stirling engine gets possible. Simultaneously pollution (e.g. caking) at the heat exchanger surfaces is avoided. Thus, high combustion efficiencies are achieved due to low excess air needed, without passing ash melting temperatures and concurrent fuel flexibility.
The objective of this project is the development and field trial of a highly efficient, fuel-flexible and scalable CHP-system consisting out of a fluidized bed combustion and a stirling engine. Thereby, the high demand for solutions regarding power generation out of unexploited residuals should be met, as currently there is no technical solution for this issue.
