September 2010 * Wood to Warmth – Biomass Fuels and Heat Energy Calculations Michael Beech TV Energy September 2010 * Biomass Fuels As general guide, the energy available from different biomass fuels can be summarised as follows: Logs Seasoned to 20%MC, 4100kWh/tonne, 1900kWh/m3 (hardwood, stacked), 1400kWh/m3 (softwood, stacked) Pellets 10%MC, 4700kWh/tonne, 2800kWh/m3 minimum Chips 30%MC, 3300kWh/tonne, 950kWh/m3 (hardwood), 720kWh/m3 (softwood) September 2010 * Biomass Fuels CV hardwood (broadleaves) = CV softwood (eg. pine, SRC) Higher growth rate of softwood offset by its lower energy density September 2010 * Biomass Fuels Moisture content, energy, density comparisons September 2010 * Biomass Fuels - Costs September 2010 * Heat Energy Calculations Calculating heat load woodfuel use Fuel bills (existing build) - kWh i/p - system efficiency - kWh o/p - % from biomass boiler - biomass efficiency - Biomass fuel kWh - biomass fuel kWh/tonne - tonnes/m3 System efficiency – old boilers, EE improvements possible? Biomass boiler heat 90% of annual heat load ideally Biomass efficiency – losses during start up, thru’ buffer tank For new build, need to know the calculated annual heat demand to determine woodfuel use September 2010 * Heat Energy Calculations Heat loads – Mixed commercial/ domestic Winter Summer September 2010 * Heat Energy Calculations Heat load variation - seasonal January June/ July December September 2010 * Heat Energy Calculations Biomass and conventional boilers - winter Heat outputs. 150kW biomass boiler, 350kW oil boiler Buffer tank activity. 5000litre, 20deg.C deltaT September 2010 * Heat Energy Calculations Biomass boiler - summer Heat output Buffer tank activity September 2010 * Heat Energy Calculations Summer heat supply – alternative options Additional smaller o/p biomass boil
