Technological advancements in biomass energy conversion
comes from three sources –
·
enhanced efficiency of biomass energy
conversion technologies
·
improved fuel processing technologies
·
enhanced efficiency of end-use
technologies.
Versatility of modern biomass technologies to use
variety of biomass feedstock has enhanced the supply potential.Typical plant sizes at present range from 0.1 to 50 MW.
Co-generation applications are very efficient and economical. Fluidized bed
combustion (FBC) is efficient and flexible in accepting varied types of fuels.
Development of improved harvesting and post harvesting technologies has also contributed to reduction in production cost of biomass energy. Gasifier technology has penetrated the applications such as village electrification, captive power generation and process heat generation in industries producing biomass waste.
The thrust of the biomass power programme is now on the grid
connected megawatt scale power generation with multiple biomass materials such
as rice straw, rice husk, bagasse, wood waste, wood, wild bushes and paper mill
waste. Enhanced scale has improved economics as well as the technology of
biomass power generation.
Technology improvement is also derived from joint ventures of
Indian firms with leading international manufacturers of turbines and
electronic governors.
