ABSTRACT: Combined
heat and power (CHP) plants (co-generation plants) using biomass as fuel, can
be an interesting alternative to the predominant electrical heating in Canada.
The biomass-fueled boiler provides heat for the steam cycle which in turn
generates electricity from the generator connected to the steam turbine. In
addition, heat from the process is supplied to a district heating system. The
heat can be extracted from the system in a number of ways, by using a
back-pressure steam turbine, an extraction steam turbine or by extracting heat
directly from the boiler. The objective of the paper is the design, modeling
and simulation of such CHP plant. The plant should be sized for providing
electric-ity and heat for the Anticosti Island community in Quebec.
