Operating cost = (fuel consumption × biomass price) + mano de obra + mantenimiento. Eficiencia, load factor, and moisture content of biomass affect cost. Ejemplo: a 5-ton biomass boiler may consume 500–600 kg/hour of dried wood chips.
Factors Affecting Cost
- Fuel type and quality
- Eficiencia de la caldera
- Load operation schedule
- Maintenance and labor expenses
