Abstract
Woody biomass such as the thinned wood is widely distributed in the mountain-ringed region and the field, and it is difficult economically to collect and to transport it. Therefore, small-scale power generator is suitable in many cases. Development of small-scale power system based on the biomass gasification is under going. But because of so complicated system and high cost, the commercialization is not progressing as expected. Small-scale system which has high thermal efficiency and low cost is requested. So, in this study we develop small-scale power system, in which stirling engine power system is combined with biomass combustion furnace. We aim at high thermal efficiency and low cost of the biomass power system through this developement. In this paper, the demonstration plant of 30kW-class stirling engine system using biomass is introduced and typical results of the field test of the plant are reported. Moreover, the possibility of the optimization of the system is reported.
