Description

  The present invention relates to a power generation facility and a power supply facility, and more particularly to a facility capable of obtaining solid fuel by effectively using surplus power.

  Power generation facilities using renewable energy that does not use fossil fuels (hereinafter referred to as renewable energy power generation facilities) are being introduced. Since the output of a renewable energy power generation facility varies greatly depending on the natural environment, in order to adjust the power supply and demand, it is necessary to simultaneously use the thermal power generation facility and follow the output of the thermal power generation facility.

  With the increase in renewable energy power generation facilities, the output of thermal power generation facilities has been reduced. In preparation for a case where the output of a renewable energy power generation facility decreases due to changes in the natural environment, the variable thermal power generation facility continues to operate at a constant output so that the output can be secured in a short time. However, there is a limit to reducing the output in the thermal power generation facility, and there is a possibility that the generated power in the renewable energy power generation facility or the generated power in the thermal power generation facility becomes excessive.

  For this reason, conventionally, a technique has been proposed in which heat is generated and stored with the surplus power in the renewable energy power generation facility, and when the output in the renewable energy power generation facility is reduced, power is generated with the stored heat. (See Patent Document 1). By applying the technique of Patent Document 1, it is possible to provide a power supply facility that is not easily affected by the natural environment.

  On the other hand, in thermal power plants, it has been studied to effectively use biomass, which has been treated as an unused resource, as fuel. For example, carbon neutral biomass (woody biomass) is pyrolyzed to generate carbide (solid fuel) and gas, and electric power is obtained using the carbide as fuel for the boiler. In the pyrolysis of biomass, heat generated by combustion of fuel and pyrolysis gas generated along with carbonization is used.

  When pyrolyzing biomass, it is known that a large amount of pyrolysis gas can be obtained by increasing the amount of heat and increasing the proportion of fixed carbon. If the amount of heat can be increased without increasing the fuel, it is advantageous from the viewpoint of carbon neutrality.

A heating body 30 to be conveyed is provided. The heating body 30 is composed of a rotating body that is rotated by a motor, and the biomass is conveyed toward the outlet portion 32 by the rotation of the heating body 30.

  Biomass is supplied to the heating body 30 from a conveyor 33 (screw conveyor) driven by a motor. The biomass carbonization time is adjusted by controlling the biomass supply speed by the conveyor 33 and the biomass conveyance speed by the rotation of the heating body 30. The heating body 30 of the carbonization means 17 is covered with the heating drum 34, and hot air is supplied between the heating body 30 and the heating drum 34 (inside the heating drum 34), so that the biomass inside the heating body 30 is carbonized.

By supplementing the heat generated by the surplus power and increasing the amount of heat of the pyrolysis gas, even if the fuel from the fuel supply path 36 is decreased, the amount of heat for sufficiently pyrolyzing the biomass can be obtained, and the fixed carbon Can be obtained stably. As a result, the condition of being thermally independent without using a fuel containing a carbon component is established, and the emission of CO ₂ for carbonization of biomass can be reduced (eliminated).
