Development and demonstration of a hybrid CSP-biomass gasification boiler system

The aim of the project is to develop and demonstrate a new hybridization (solar/biomass) solution for an existing prototype of the REELCOOP project. A biomass gasification boiler will be developed and integrated in the CSP prototype 3 of the REELCOOP project, instead of the biogas boiler, allowing a direct comparison between the merits and disadvantages of the two biomass technologies in hybridization operation mode. Prototype 3 of REELCOOP is a hybrid renewable electricity production mini-power plant, composed of a CSP and a biogas boiler. The developed biomass gasification boiler operates with olive oil residues.
