Download or read book The Availability of Wood for a 50 Mw Wood fired Power Plant in Northern Vermont written by Charles E. Hewett and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether sufficient quantities of wood are physically and institutionally available to fuel a wood-fired power plant in northern Vermont is determined. The forests of northern Vermont are first characterized, then the basis for ascertaining how much wood physically exists in the area is provided. The quantities of wood available are assessed with both traditional and new whole-tree harvesting technologies. Following demonstation that sufficient supplies of wood can be physically obtained from the forest, the geographical, institutional, social, and economic constraints of wood availability are examined. A best possible estimate of the wood actually available at acceptable cost over the projected life of a 50-MW plant is provided.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cost of wood-generated electricity is dependent upon a number of economic and environmental factors, many of which are uncertain by nature and difficult to predict. A report of the cost of wood-generated electricity by Allan J. Schultz for the Vermont Public Service Board (Schultz 1977) recognizes these uncertainties, but does not adequately account for them in its cost projections. Schultz's analysis is extended here to include the full range of values these projections could take. A number of statewide benefits are explored which might be provided Vermont by a wood-fired plant -- employment of state residents, increases in tax income, and several nonquantifiable factors. In an attempt to show how these benefits might be credited back to the plant to reduce its operating expenses, two mechanisms are introduced, transfer payments and public financing, that could bring the cost of wood-fired power down to levels competitive with other fuels. The conclusion is that, while there is a great degree of uncertainty in estimating the cost of electricity generated with wood, it is possible and desirable to assign a range of possible future costs to this power. The best analysis shows that, over at least part of this range, wood-generated electricity is cost competitive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Progress in Biomass Conversion, Volume 3, attempts to reflect and consider the current status of knowledge and development in the biomass energy and chemicals field. It covers topics such as combustion, gasification, alcohol fuels, liquefaction, whole tree chipping, baling, and fuel consumption. It deals not only with wood but also with agricultural wastes such as rice hulls, cotton gin trash, and other crop residuals. This book begins with a review of biomass energy development. This is followed by discussions of the integration of biomass into the total fuels community; the growth in understanding of biomass combustion; the use of European technology. Subsequent chapters present a review of supply issues; a technical evaluation of cogeneration; and a thoughtful, future-oriented, position paper in biomass fuels for energy security.
