本文提出一种基于太阳能驱动生物质气化的新型发电系统,利用塔式定日镜场聚光产生1000~1500 K高温太阳热能驱动生物质进行气化反应,并集成先进燃气-蒸汽联合循环发电系统高效利用气化合成气。对该系统进行了热力学性能分析,结果表明:与常规生物质气化方式相比,通过驱动生物质发生气化反应,不仅将间歇性的太阳能转化为稳定的合成气化学能,并增加了气化合成气的化学能,同时合成气中的H_2和CO的摩尔含量之比在气化温度为1000~1500 K时达到1.65~2.44,有利于直接合成甲醇等清洁液体燃料。在设计工况下,系统的太阳能热功转化效率将达到23.68%,随着气化反应温度的升高,系统的太阳能份额和输出的电功率增大,系统的总热效率和总效率均下降。研究成果将为高效利用我国西部丰富的太阳能与生物质能提供一条有效途径。
