Introducing Small Scale Waste-to-Energy Technology in Microgrids: Cooperative Research and Development Final Report, CRADA Number CRD-17-00703

Research output: NRELTechnical Report

Abstract

Cogent has developed an innovative, proprietary waste-to-energy (WTE) system, the HelioStorm(TM) Gasifier, capable of efficiently operating on small amounts of heterogeneous municipal solid waste feedstocks, converting them into a clean syngas that can be used to fuel an electricity generator, all with rapid on/off cycle times. NREL will work with Cogent to complete a computer simulation of an integrated HelioStorm(TM) plasma gasifier system and dual fuel diesel generator. Cogent will test the performance of an actual HelioStorm(TM) WTE system and dual fuel diesel generator at their test facility using steady state electrical loads and provide a report describing the performance of the integrated system.
