MICRO-GASIFIER ARRAY NETWORKING

摘要

A method is described for integrating a plurality of micro-gasifiers comprising gasifiers, filters, and engine sets or turbine gensets or combined cycle gensets by linking them via a common bus wherein air flow and engine fuel flow is regulated by valves controlling gas flow between the bus and engine genset or turbine genset or combined cycle genset.

主权项

1. A multi-gasifier array, comprising:
a common gasifier bus connecting two or more micro-gasifier systems, each micro-gasifier system comprising a gasifier, a filter and a genset; and a plurality of airflow valves for regulating the flow of gas within the micro-gasifier array; wherein the plurality of airflow valves are: adjusted to draw air or syngas or hydrogen or natural gas from the gasifier bus and create a partial vacuum on the gasifier bus which is initially filled with air, thus offsetting part of the air flow normally supplied by the engine air input valve; and adjusted to regulate an amount of input gas to the genset to create a pressure delta between the gasifier bus and atmospheric conditions.
