Goal of research
Demonstration of electricity production from wood pellets in 10 kWe size in minimum of 15% efficiency (from fuel energy) without operational problems

Stirling-aided power production:State of art
Routine from natural gas: Electricity can be produced with efficiency of about 25%.
Power production from solid biomass is in research stage because of ash related problems
Experiments in very small scale (1 kWe) has been conducted in the U.S.
Experiments in 37-75 MWe scale have been conducted by Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and Austrian research centres. No commercial products yet.

UNIVERSITY OF JYVÄSKYLÄ
Development of miniature electrostatic precipitator (ESP) for small scale combustion
Goal– To develop a miniature ESP for small scale combustion (< 200
kW thermal) capable to reduce particulate concentration in the flue gas by 80%
State of art:– High need in the markets– No commercial devices available– Prototype development in Austria, Norway and Switzerland since
2003– Our version differs from those prototypes
