Abstract

Regarding the growing concern about carbon emission and environmental pollution, biomass has received extensive attention as renewable energy because of environmentally friendly and carbon-neutral. To enhance the utilization of biomass energy and reduce carbon emission, a biomass gasification oxy-fuel combustion power system is established. Advanced exergy and exergoeconomic analyses are applied to evaluate the system in different gasifying atmospheres of air, steam, and air/steam. The air, steam, and air/steam systems have exergy destruction of 155.9 MW, 163.2 MW, and 199.5 MW, and exergy efficiency of 43.47%, 49.48%, and 40.17%. The operating cost of the air, steam, and air/steam system is 305556.4 $/h, 393550.0 $/h, and 276284.8 $/h, and the annualized cost is 64.1 M$, 74.7 M$, and 63.9 M$, respectively. The thermodynamic improvement potential is 25.97% for the air system, 32.29% for the steam system, and 24.91% for the air/steam system. The avoidable cost ratios of the three systems are above 70%, suggesting a high cost-saving potential. The results reveal the effects of gasifying agents on the biomass gasification power system. Strategies are proposed for system improvement based on the advanced exergy and exergoeconomic analysis.
