초록
미세조류 및 거대조류 등 3세대 바이오매스로부터 바이오가스를 생산하는 연구는 다양한 규모의 실험을 통해 수행된 바 있다. 이 논문에서는 3세대 바이오매스 중 거대조류, 즉 해조류 바이오매스로부터 유래된 바이오가스를 이용하는 복합 열병합 발전의 상용화 가능성을 살펴보았다. 이를 위해 고체산화물 연료전지와 가스터빈, 그리고 유기랭킨사이클로 이루어진 산업스케일의 통합 열병합발전을 상용 공정모사기를 이용하여 설계, 모사하였고, 계산된 열 및 물질수지를 통해 장치의 가격을 추정하고 경제성을 분석하였다. 모사 결과 설계된 열병합발전 공정은 시간당 62.5톤의 건조 갈조류 원료로부터 생산된 36 톤의 바이오가스를 이용하여 68.4 MW의 전력을 생산한다. 이 결과를 토대로 다양한 시나리오에 대해 경제적으로 평가하고 균둥화 발전비용(levelized electricity cost, LEC)을 계산하였는데, SOFC의 수명이 5년, 스택 가격이 $225 kW-1일 때 LEC는 12.26 ￠ kWh-1로 기존의 고정 발전과 동등한 수준으로 나타났다.
Studies on the production of biogas from third generation biomass, such as micro- and macroalgae, have been conducted through experiments of various scales. In this paper, we investigated the feasibility of commercialization of integrated combined heat and power (CHP) production using biogas derived from macroalgae, i.e., seaweed biomass. For this purpose, an integrated CHP plant of industrial scale, consisting of solid oxide fuel cells, gas turbine and organic Rankine cycle, was designed and simulated using a commercial process simulator. The cost of each equipment in the plant was estimated through the calculated heat and mass balances from simulation and then the techno-economic analysis was performed. The designed integrated CHP process produces 68.4 MW of power using 36 ton h-1 of biogas from 62.5 ton h-1 (dry basis) of brown algae. Based on these results, various scenarios were evaluated economically and the levelized electricity cost (LEC) was calculated. When the lifetime of SOFC is 5 years and its stack price is $225 kW-1, the LEC was 12.26 ￠ kWh-1, which is comparable to the conventional fixed power generation.
