Abstract

The optimal parameters of the process through which solid fuel is converted into electricity and heat are modeled using the system of equations for material and thermal balances. The theoretical analysis is accompanied by an experiment. The consumption of coal from the Kuznetsk field is 639 kg for obtaining 1000 m3 of gasification products, 0.197 kg/(kW h) (54.7 kg/GJ) for producing electricity, and 55.4 kg/GJ for producing heat.
