A comparative exergoeconomic analysis of two biomass post-firing and co-firing combined power plants

Biomass energy is a promising potential replacement for fossil fuels in future, because it is relatively abundant, clean and carbon
dioxide neutral. Biomass can be converted using thermo-chemical and bio-chemical processes into solid, liquid and gas bio-fuels,
which can then be used for generating heat and/or electricity. In the present lecture, the application of gasification for electricity
production is investigated via energy, exergy and exergoeconomic analyses for two configurations: (1) Externally fired biomass
combined cycle and (2) combined cycle with co-firing of biomass and natural gas. The second configuration is found to be more
economic (on a large scale) as its relative cost difference and exergoeconomic factor are less than those for the first configuration. The
results also indicate that the energy and exergy efficiencies of combined cycle with co-firing could be about 2% and 4% higher than
those of the externally fired combined cycle, respectively.
