Hi Jess,

 

the Spanner 10 kWe system is operational. So in general this might be an option 
for your needs. 

In my opinion, 10 kWe is too small capacity to be operated economically. 

So there should really be a strong demand for biomass based power generation to 
go this direction.

HI Bjorn,

What do you think of the small Spanner 10kw chp machine?

Hi @ all,

 

the older Spanner plants (HKA 45 and HKA 49) used low efficient GM-origin 
engines. These plants consume 0.9 kg/kWh_el.

The HKA70 uses engine with higher compression ratio and higher compressing 
turbochargers. These plants consume 0.8 kg/kWh_el.

Please note that the provided wood consumption figures are based on wet basis 
(13% water content). Hence wood consumption based on dry matter (what I always 
recommend to use for comparison) is somewhat lower (0.8, respective 0.7 
kg/kWh_el).

 

The efficiency increase of HKA 70 is due to the better engine. That´s all.

Hello Greg,

 

The chip consumption of the Spanner units are around 1kg / kWh depending on 
quality of wood.

 

I have some prices for the Spanner units in Euro but need a bit of time to sort 
it out.

 

Regards,

 

Werner

Greg,

 

You are stating about 1 pound of biomass per 1 kWe.   The data sheet for 
Spanner is 0.9 kg per hour for 1 kWe (essentially your are half of their 
biomass consumption).

 

Do you have an estimate of price (maybe use Canandian costs) for have one unit 
made (not a DIY unit).    Maybe triple that cost to have the price for a model 
to be sold by a business.

Greetings Paul, and List members !

 

As far as input goes, from 10lbs. An hour and up. Output from, 10 to 30 kwE 

 

The original design had a direct coupled Chevy 350, however I have since 
changed to a belt driven system, this way "what's available" can  be used as a 
prime mover. 

 

As far as operation, and use, a 2 day training for someone that has very basic 
skills in mechanics for servicing, and a 1 day for people that will be 
gathering and/or preperation of the biomass.

As far as replication, off the North American continent  a person with 
oxygen/acetylene torches could build it other than the actual generator.
Greg.

Hi Greg,

 

Long time since we last communicated directly!   You are one of those who "do."

 

Please tell us size (input, output, etc.) and the extent that it could  be 
replicated for large numbers of users.  How much "skill level" is needed by the 
users?   (YOU are not an average user.  Could others operate it if the system 
was available?)

Currently Busy with another project, HOWEVER, This post sparks my interest !

 

I do small scale biomass fired generation.

Tom and all,

 

Please guide us (as a start) to understanding the needs and realities of 
off-grid non-solar power where biomass is plentiful.   Are there some key 
links?  

 

Low-population, forested high latitude areas (less sunlight) without easy boat 
or train access would seem to be a major geographic region of need.  Diesel 
generators seem to dominate the power generation.   What sources confirm these 
statements, how big is the problem (expressed as numbers of gensets at what 
sizes), and what is being done about it, and by whom?    (Canadians, please 
reply with your info.)

 

This should be a significant topic for this Listserv.

Are you in a marine air environment? There are many villages that need
