The integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) is a power generation technology which combines clean coal technology with a combined cycle. The system modeling is significant for design, operation and maintenance of the IGCC power plant. However, the previous IGCC modeling methods only contained a simplified compartment gasifier model, which is useful to consider the heat transfer and chemic...

This research work presents an artificial intelligence approach to predicting the hydrogen concentration in producer gas from biomass gasification. An experimental gasification plant consisting of air-blown downdraft fixed-bed gasifier fueled with exhausted olive pomace pellets and a conditioning unit was used collect whole dataset. During extensive campaign, volumetric composition measured rec...

The gasification of sewage sludge was carried out in a simple atmospheric fluidized bed gasifier. Flow and fuel feed rate were adjusted for experimentally obtaining an air mass : fuel mass ratio (A/F) of 0.2 < A/F < 0.4. Fuel characterization, mass and power balances, produced gas composition, gas phase alkali and ammonia, tar concentration, agglomeration tendencies, and gas efficiencies were a...

This study aims to model a hybrid power system that can continuously generate by switching between two possible thermal sources: solar radiation and combustion energy from synthesis gases. The comprised receiver, dish, Stirling generator, fluidized-bed gasifier, boiler, water tank. dish was dual-reflection collector used mirrors, namely the main subordinate concentrators, concentrate broad expa...
