Abstract

A techno-economic analysis (TEA) of a hybrid chicken litter gasification system combined with a phosphoric acid fuel cell (PAFC) model was simulated to address both renewable energy generation and waste management of broiler chicken farm waste in Thailand. The simulation model was developed and analyzed using Aspen Plus V.11 software. A small-scale gasification system integrated with a PAFC is proposed to meet the electrical demand of a typical chicken farm in the Northern Thailand region of Lamphun. In this study, gasifier temperature and equivalence ratio (ER) were considered as the main operating parameters. A thermodynamic analysis indicates that a gasifier temperature of 800 °C and an ER ratio of 0.2 is required to achieve hydrogen yield of 6.5% and cold gas efficiency (CGE) of 71%. Economic analysis suggests gasification + ICE is suitable for short-term profitability, while gasification + PAFC offers long-term profitability.

期刊介绍： The objective of the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy is to facilitate the exchange of new ideas, technological advancements, and research findings in the field of Hydrogen Energy among scientists and engineers worldwide. This journal showcases original research, both analytical and experimental, covering various aspects of Hydrogen Energy. These include production, storage, transmission, utilization, enabling technologies, environmental impact, economic considerations, and global perspectives on hydrogen and its carriers such as NH3, CH4, alcohols, etc. The utilization aspect encompasses various methods such as thermochemical (combustion), photochemical, electrochemical (fuel cells), and nuclear conversion of hydrogen, hydrogen isotopes, and hydrogen carriers into thermal, mechanical, and electrical energies. The applications of these energies can be found in transportation (including aerospace), industrial, commercial, and residential sectors.
