OVERVIEW
-
Biomass
is an organic matter i.e. photochemical approach to harness solar
energy can be converted
into other forms of energy like heat, electricity etc. using available
conversion processes.
-
Biomass
like agro residue, wood residue and food processing residue are used
as fuels for producing steam in power plants using combustion
technology. This steam is used to drive turbine, which drives
a generator for producing power.
-
Depletion
of conventional fuels and environmental problems make biomass power
generation an attractive option. Of all the technologies available
for utilizing biomass for power generation, direct combustion route
is recognized as more resourceful and economical option for generation
of grid quality power .
