Objective One key objective of the project proposed is the demonstration of an innovative small-scale biomass CHP technology based on an ORC process with a nominal electric capacity of 1,000kW. The second key aim is the development and implementation of a Fuzzy Logic process control system in combination with an Artificial Neuronal Network optimising the performance of the overall CHP plant. Regarding economy, the EU cost targets (investment costs < 1500 Euro/kWe; electricity production costs < 0.05 Euro/kWh) will be kept by the innovative small-scale biomass CHP technology. Technological targets are to show that the overall efficiency is above 95% and the electric efficiency is about 15%. This ORC process represents the largest biomass-fired application in Europe, is suitable for multi-fuel feed and shows excellent partial load behaviour which is relevant for heat controlled operation. Moreover, the project proposed will contribute to a CO2 emission reduction of 23,000 t/a.
