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