Abstract
The article explores transforming Ukraine’s energy system using the “Smart Grid” concept and distributed generation. It emphasizes the need for decentralizing thermal and electric energy sources with small-scale, renewable local biofuels. The significance of thermochemical distribution systems for bio-waste using jet-vortex generator-incinerators in energy-intensive technologies is highlighted. New methods for generating thermal energy in agro-industrial processes, such as grain drying, are proposed. Heat-technical means for bio-waste decomposition, heat exchange, and combustion product utilization have been developed. Production tests of automated jet-vortex generator-incinerators were conducted, considering variable technological parameters. The cost of thermal energy for grain drying is significantly lower than traditional methods. The process, with a functional heat exchanger, uses preheated clean air, improving grain quality. A cogeneration plant project, based on a generator-incinerator and air turbine, is proposed to address Ukraine’s electricity sector challenges. This plant converts thermal energy into mechanical energy using a heat exchanger and compressor. Electrical energy is produced with an electromechanical converter to meet the thermal-technical module’s needs. The cogeneration plant achieves a total efficiency of approximately 80%.
