Zusammenfassung
Design of facilities for conversion of biomass into heat or electrical energy requires detailed preparatory spatial analysis of the area concerned. Within a case study of 5th FP research project ENERGY FOREST (NNE5-2002- 00049) in Chomutov district (Czech Republic), a pilot application of integrated GIS analysis and CRES DSS decision support system (developed within another project) was performed to identify total amounts of available biomass and to design the combustion (steam turbine technology) facility in terms of its optimal placement and installed power. Suitable energy crops and expected yearly energy yields were calculated on the base of GIS analysis of the concerned territory using an integrated parameter of soil productivity for each cadaster of the district. Several alternatives of the conversion unit design were tested for various scenarios of biomass supplies and different locations of the facility. Economical parameters of each alternative were taken as crucial factors for selection of optimal facility design. Other factors like environmental protection, landuse, agricultural traditions and techniques, accessibility of terraine and others were taken into consideration for assessment of the amount of the biomass available, which was, in spatial form, an input parameter for testing of various alternatives.
