Abstract

The analysis of the use of biomass for energy production and the development of research related to the gasification process, have led to the approach of various models for explaining and understanding this complex process, not only in its design, but also in its simulation, optimization and analysis; which are intended to satisfy the need to quantify the energy production and efficiency. This article presents an analysis of several gasification models based on thermodynamic equilibrium, kinetics and control based on artificial neural networks.
