ENERGY EFFICIENCY ANALYSIS OF A BIOMASS SYSTEM THROUGH MONITORING OF RELEVANT PARAMETERS

Abstract

This paper is based on a study dedicated to the overall energy balance (EB) of a biomass system, particularly focusing on a prototype design for commercial use. The EB was developed in accordance with the guidelines outlined by the Romanian Agency for Energy Conservation (ARCE), No. 245. Through the measurements conducted and calculations performed, we established the EB (EB), which allowed the identification of energy losses and will help to increase the system efficiency in the future. A monitoring system was created by the authors of this paper and was used for real-time tracking and display, respectively storage of operational parameters. The mathematical model for the EB of the analyzed commercial prototype will also be presented. Multiple operational regimes, characterized by varying thermal power values, were considered in the EB. The experimental results were entered and calculated with the presented mathematical model and the obtained results are presented in the conclusions.
