    Waste to Energy Prime Mover Efficiencies for Commercially Available Technology
    (2020-03-27) Lasode, Aduramo; Northrop, William; lasod002@umn.edu; Lasode, Aduramo; University of Minnesota Thomas E Murphy Engine Lab
    The data provides a collected set of information on electric power rating and efficiency for commercially available prime movers in waste to energy applications. The five main technologies in focus are: steam turbines, gas turbines, microturbines, reciprocating internal combustion engines, and fuel cells (specifically solid oxide). The technology data points collected are systems that can use fuel with components from biogas (methane, hydrogen, etc) generated during anaerobic waste treatment. The data set provides a commercial preview of each technology that could guide potential use in different ranges based on desired electric output (and required power input).
