Waste wood is to be used in a biomass plant to create heat only. The plant will not be fitted with the ability to recovery energy from the steam evolved when the wood burns. Estimate the continuous power output of a plant burning 15 tonnes of waste wood per day? Assume a realistic figure for the efficiency of the system. HHV for waste wood chips at 30% moisture content is 19MJ/kg LHV for waste wood chips at 30% moisture content is 15MJ/kg
