Wood Gasification CHP

The wood gasification CHP first uses a wood gasifier to convert woody biomass into biogas. This biogas is then used to co-generate electricity and heat.

The relationship between the in- and outflows is given by

\[\mathtt{v\_e\_wguc} = \mathtt{efficiency_electricity} \cdot \mathtt{u\_wd\_wguc}\]

\[\mathtt{v\_h\_wguc} = \mathtt{efficiency_heat} \cdot \mathtt{u\_wd\_wguc}\]

The symbols and names of the flows are

v_e_wguc_exp	Exported Electricity
v_e_wguc	Outflow Electricity
u_wd_wguc	Inflow Wood
v_h_wguc	Outflow Heat
