Using a load profile with biopower case

Interested in modeling municiple wastewater plant using plant demand load. Need to use biopower with multiple conversion technologies including digester gas plus sludge incineration. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Heat recovery utilizing combined cycle gas turbines?

SAM's biopower model works only for combustion-based systems that convert solid biomass to heat that generates steam to drive a Rankine-cycle electricity generation plant.

Best regards,
Paul.

Are there planned updates for an anaerobic digestion script in SAM? I like the NREL AD financial book, but SAM is a great user interface.

Hello,

We do not have immediate plans to add a model for biomass anerobic digestion. Could you describe in more detail what kind of system and application you would like to model?

Best regards,
Paul.
