Abstract

Principles of generating heat and electricity are considered according to which these kinds of energy are produced at independent thermal power stations built around the conventional engines operating on gaseous fuel obtained by subjecting wastes from woodworking and plant cultivation industries to pyrolysis. A procedure for calculating the required output capacity of a pyrolysis module is described using a 100-kVA mini thermal power station as an example. The advantages of a unified cycle for converting the energy of wet vegetable fuel feedstock into electrical and thermal energy, comprising the stage of its conversion into gaseous and liquid biofuel, are analyzed.
