In this project, one test rig of a small-scale and high-efficiency CHP exhaust (biomass combustion) powergeneration (5kWe) and heat recovery system will be established and measured. The energy conversion systemis based on an advanced thermodynamic power cycle and uses CO2 as a working fluid. Special designs andcontrols will be applied to the proposed system so as to achieve a high thermal efficiency and obtainproduction of heating where necessary. Simultaneously, a detailed mathematical model for the proposedbiomass power generation system and components will be developed and validated with measurements. Themodel will then evaluate, compare and analyse different system and component designs ,heat recoveryproductions, control optimisations and power cycle configurations; this will eventually lead to the optimaldesign and construction of the proposed system. The validated model will then be further scaled up to explorethe actual application and development of biomass-CO2 power systems .
