生物質發電是利用生物質所具有的生物質能進行的發電，是可再生能源發電的一種，包括農林廢棄物直接燃燒發電、農林廢棄物氣化發電、垃圾焚燒發電、垃圾填埋氣發電、沼氣發電。世界生物質發電起源于20世紀70年代，當時，世界性的石油危機爆發后，丹麥開始積開發清潔的可再生能源，大力推行秸稈等生物質發電。自1990年以來，生物質發電在歐美許多國家開始大力發展。
Biomass power generation is a kind of renewable energy power generation using biomass energy, including direct combustion of agricultural and forestry wastes, gasification of agricultural and forestry wastes, waste incineration power generation, landfill gas power generation, and biogas power generation. World biomass power generation originated in the 1970s. At that time, after the outbreak of the world oil crisis, Denmark began to actively develop clean renewable energy and vigorously promote biomass power generation such as straw. Since 1990, biomass power generation has been vigorously developed in many European and American countries.
二、生物質能發電的原理
2、 The principle of biomass power generation
發電原理：與燃煤發電原理相同。物質直接燃燒發電與燃煤火力發電在原理上沒有本質區別，主要區別體現在原料上，火力發電的原料是煤，而直接燃燒發電的原料主要是農林廢棄物和秸稈。直接燃燒發電是把生物質原料送入適合生物質燃燒的特定蒸汽鍋爐中，產生蒸汽，驅動蒸汽機轉動從而帶動發電機發電。
Power generation principle: the same as that of coal-fired power generation. There is no essential difference between the principle of material direct combustion power generation and coal-fired thermal power generation. The main difference is reflected in the raw material. The raw material of thermal power generation is coal, while the raw material of direct combustion power generation is mainly agricultural and forestry waste and straw. Direct combustion power generation is to send biomass raw materials into a specific steam boiler suitable for biomass combustion, generate steam, drive the steam engine to rotate and drive the generator to generate electricity.
具體流程如下：將秸稈等生物質加工成適于鍋爐燃燒的形式(粉狀或塊狀)，送入鍋爐內充分燃燒，使儲存于生物質燃料中的化學能轉變成熱能;鍋爐內的水燒熱后產生飽和蒸汽，飽和蒸汽在過熱器內繼續加熱成過熱蒸汽進入汽輪機，驅動汽輪發電機組旋轉，將蒸汽的內能轉換成機械能，后由發電機將機械能變成電能。
The specific process is as follows: process straw and other biomass into a form suitable for boiler combustion (powder or block), and send it into the boiler for full combustion, so that the chemical energy stored in the biomass fuel can be converted into heat energy; After the water in the boiler is heated, saturated steam will be generated. The saturated steam will continue to be heated into superheated steam in the superheater and enter the steam turbine to drive the steam turbine generator unit to rotate, convert the internal energy of the steam into mechanical energy, and finally turn the mechanical energy into electrical energy by the generator.

生物質發電廠的發電設備和同樣規模的燃煤發電設備是非常相似的，目前我國大多數生物質直燃發電廠內所使用的燃燒工具主要包括生物質水冷振動爐排鍋爐、生物質循環流化床鍋爐以及聯合爐排鍋爐， 其中運用廣泛的是水冷振動爐排鍋爐。蒸汽發電機組多采用高溫高壓抽凝式汽輪機組。
The power generation equipment of biomass power plants and coal-fired power generation equipment of the same scale are very similar. At present, the combustion tools used in most biomass direct-fired power plants in China mainly include biomass water-cooled vibrating grate boilers, biomass circulating fluidized bed boilers and combined grate boilers, of which the water-cooled vibrating grate boilers are the most widely used. High temperature and high pressure condensing steam turbine units are mostly used for steam generator units.
