Biomass gasification-gas turbine combustion for power generation system model based on ASPEN PLUS

Abstract

ASPEN PLUS is an important tool for process design. But in the biomass gasification-gas turbine combustion field, ASPEN PLUS has not been extensively studied. In this paper, the operation unit in the biomass gasification-gas turbine combustion power generation system was introduced. Based on ASPEN PLUS, an integrated system model for power generation by biomass gasification-gas turbine combustion was developed. The model consists of biomass gasification and gas-cleaning system, gas turbine combustion system, and power generation system. The main aim of this research was to develop an integrated power generation system model, to predict the gasifier performance and power generation under various operating conditions. Parameters such as temperature, equivalence ratio (ER), and catalyst affected the syngas composition and heating value. The results show that the simulated data are consistent with the experimental data. Considering M701F gas turbine as the research object, the process of integrated power generation system was described. The simulation of biomass gasification-gas turbine combustion integrated power generation system can simulate the integrated system and obtain the main parameters of gas turbine. The system model based on ASPEN PLUS can be used to predict power generation capacity from biomass gasification-gas turbine combustion system.
