Abstract

Currently, one of the biggest problems of energy systems nowadays is the need for increased flexibility due to fluctuating supply from intermittent renewable energy sources, such as wind or solar. [...]the flexibility of thermal power plants, based on combustion, is currently a subject of intensive investigation. The analysis, performed using net present value (NPV) methodology, showed that using such technology for increasing the flexibility of the boiler could be economically justified, as it allows us to obtain another revenue stream by taking part in the capacity market [1]. [...]the study identified the EU limits of CO2 emissions per kWh of electricity produced for power units that are allowed to participate in capacity markets in member states as one of the key issues preventing the wider implementation of plasma-assisted combustion systems [1]. [6] observed, for the gasification of torrefied biomass, that CO peak time and volatile release time increased with the increased severity of the torrefaction. [...]both CO peak time and volatile release time were lower for pellets in comparison to the loose bed of particles [6]. Carbon capture can be instrumental in achieving ambitious decarbonisation targets, and has been recognised by the UNFCCC. [...]novel solutions are currently being developed, including carbon sequestration using hydrates, membrane-based carbon capture and storage, as well as pre-combustion CO2 capture, or novel cycles [7,8].
