Abstract

Power generation from co-utilization of coal and biomass is very attractive since this technology can not only save the coal resource but make sufficient utilization of biomass. In addition, with this concept, net carbon discharge per unit electric power generation can also be sharply reduced. In this work, a coal/biomass co-hydrogasification based chemical looping power generation system is presented and analyzed with the assistance of Aspen Plus. The effects of different operating conditions including the biomass mass fraction, Rb, the hydrogen recycle ratio, Rhr, the hydrogasification pressure, Phg, the iron to fuel mole ratio, Rif, the reducer temperature, Tre, the oxidizer temperature, Tox, and the fuel utilization factor, Uf of the SOFC (solid oxide fuel cell) on the system operation results including the energy efficiency, ηe, the total energy efficiency, ηte, the exergy efficiency, ηex, the total exergy efficiency, ηtex and the carbon capture rate, ηcc, are analyzed. The energy and exergy balances of the whole system are also calculated and the corresponding Sankey diagram and Grassmann diagram are drawn. Under the benchmark condition, exergy efficiencies of different units in the system are calculated. ηte, ηtex and ηcc of the system are also found to be 43.6%, 41.2% and 99.1%, respectively.
