Zelya Energy has developed a simulation model for the production of a biomass power plant which can provide a first estimate of the producible power during feasibility phase.
It is designed with a project and asset valuation perspective to solidify assumptions about the electricity producible, which directly impact operating revenues, as well as assumptions about the quantities of fuel, which directly influence operating costs.
Input modules
- the environment: temperature, pressure, air composition;
- the physico-chemical characteristics of the fuel, which can be determined and certified in the laboratory;
- the combustion equation according to the regime ();
- the characteristics of the equipment (efficiency);
Output modules
- the composition of flue gases, which allows for verifying the emission thresholds of GHGs and harmful gases;
- the lower and higher heating values;
Additional modules
Our model also allows for unit conversions, determining the basic formula of the component from laboratory analyses.
Our model is also adjustable, in cases where the equipment (actual thermodynamic cycle) and the production method (availability rate, variation in the quantity of fuel over time) are known.
