Since 2010 the energy demands in Thailand and developing countries are significantly increased, whereas the numbers of electricity supply are not enlarged in the same ratio. Moreover, in the developing countries there are still many areas, where the electricity could not be reached. One considerable solution for this problem is the distribution of the power plants into small and medium sizes in those rural areas and utilization of the local fuel, i.e. biofuel from agricultural wastes.

Micro Gas Turbines (MGT) are versatile technical solutions for the pro-duction of electrical and thermal powers. They can provide on-site powers which are attractive options for low-power required users. Based on the engine working principle, alternative fuels in-cluding biofuels from agricultural wastes are also possibly to operate this engine.

• Updated status of the Micro Gas Turbine (MGT)

development for decentralized energy supplies

• Updated status of the MGT technology for the

mobile application in future electric vehicles

• Basic technology as the basis for the hybrid

MGT-SOFC Process

(SOFC=Solid Oxide Fuel Cell)

• Thailand on the road to sustainable renewable

energy supply / MGT-SOFC technology

• Waste-to-Energy aspect

• H2 aspect

• Advanced solution for the

wind energy plant

•Architectural aspect - clean and

intelligent building

•Vision of the virtual power plant

(Future power plant policy)

A fuel cell generates electricity directly through electrochemical reactions and its efficiency (40 to 60% based on the LHV of the fuel) is more than a heat engine. The by-product heat from the reactions can be efficiently used in coge-neration applications, i.e. the MGT, which can be arranged to extract the thermal energy from the high temperature exhaust flow to drive the compressor (in turn supplies pressurized air to the fuel cell) and produce additional electricity through a turbine-shaft connected generator. Fuel-to-electrical efficiencies in approaching 80% LHV are potentially possible and it is also environmentally sensitive.
