Electrical power generation from residual biomass by combustion in externally fired gas turbines (EFGT)

The rising interest in developing gas turbines make it important to investigate them in energy generation from solid biomass. Addiotionally, externally fired gas turbine plant has the advantage of solid fuel flexibility. Pressure and air mass flow through the clean cycle side are optimized to provide the maximum power. Hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) is integrated beside the real combustion process. It serves in being more flexible in tuning plant parameters for several values, for instance, heat exchanger design, compressor and turbine efficiencies, and pressure and mass flow values
