Analyzing Utilization of Biomass in Combined Heat and Power and Combined Cooling, Heating, and Power Systems

Nowadays, ever-increasing energy demands and the depletion of fossil fuels require efficient environmentally friendly technologies for generation. In this context, systems integration makes a very strong proposition since it results in saving, fuel diversification, supply cleaner energy. To end, is utmost importance to realize current developments field portray state art renewable generation integrated systems. This review evaluates utilization bioenergy cogeneration trigeneration The statistical reports combined heat power deployments 28 countries European Union are discussed. Then, most common research objectives biomass-fueled classified into three primary performance analyses, namely, exergy analysis, thermo-economic optimization, environment assessment. influencing parameters biomass on each type assessment discussed, basic principles carrying out such analyses explained. It illustrated that properties feedstock, selection appropriate conversion technology, associated costs with biomass-to-bioenergy process, sustainability factors could significantly affect
