“…[17]. The model usually targets supply chain profit maximization or cost minimization [13,[18][19][20][21], or builds an economic and environmental multi-objective model [22][23][24], in addition, calculates supply chain energy considering the minimization of the input energy [12,25,26]. Most of the constructed models are mixed integer linear programming (MILP) models involving many equations and parameters, sometimes requiring some pre-processing and long solution times [27].…”

To make better use of agricultural residues and solve the problem of residues pollution, it is necessary to carry out regional management, which means spatial planning of the entire region is essential. This study developed a methodology based on GIS for determining the suitable locations, optimal sizes and number of biogas plants for the entire region while meeting the conditions that all biomass can be collected. Based on the optimization of transportation distance, the nearest facility model and the modified location allocation model were used to obtain the correspondence between plants and supply points, the transportation path and the plants’ capacity under different numbers of plants. Based on economic optimization, the economic model was constructed to calculate the total cost of different numbers of biogas plants and the optimal number was obtained after comparing. The cross path was adjusted for the selected plan to ensure that there was no crossover in the plants’ collection area. This approach was applied (as a case study) in Funan County, Anhui Province. Based on the existing results, the optimal construction number of biogas plants in the region was 9.

“…In the past, some studies published on the evaluation of the biomass energy potential, such as [4,[11][12][13][14], used a constant typical efficiency value. In their study, Brasil, Brasil Jr., and Malico [8] considered the electric efficiency dependence on the size of the power plant when calculating the electric energy potential of wood residues generated by the wood industry.…”

“…The work [4] estimated the electric energy potential of wood residues and considered a typical and constant efficiency value taken from the literature and did not account for the dependency of the efficiency with the installed power. As another example of this approach, Singh [11] considered two different efficiencies of 20 and 25% in converting agricultural residues to electricity, while Vukašinović and Gordić [12] considered an efficiency of 35%, and Weldemichael and Assefa [13] considered an electrical energy efficiency of 33%.…”

This chapter presents in a consolidated manner the step-by-step methodology to estimate the electrical energy potential of industrial wood residues considering the dependency of the efficiency of the power plants with their size. A function of the overall efficiency with power was obtained from a best curve fit of real data both taken from the literature and from Brazilian biomass-fired power plants. The methodology was applied to the determination of the electrical energy potential of wood industry residues in the State of Pará (data collected in 2004). Two cases were analyzed: one where a constant electrical efficiency of 25% was considered (independently of the amount of residues generated) and another where the proposed function of efficiency with power was used. Results show that in the State of Pará, the existent 675 sawmills generated 2.95 × 106 t in dry basis. When the dependency of efficiency with plant size is not considered, the electrical energy potential and average installed power (3140.4 GWh and 2 MWe) are overestimated in comparison to the herein proposed methodology (1868.8 GWh and 1 MWe). The present methodology, considering the efficiency as a function of the power, results in an average efficiency of 12.3% (lower than 25%).

“…These locations should conform to the regions' possible environmental, economic and social interactions, and should have access to biomass/resources, and the power required for conversion technologies all through the year [14, 15]. Accordingly, a set of criteria grouped into those related to resources, environment, society, and economy is determined to find the location of bio-refineries according to the information existing in literature [42][43][44][45] and also quantitative/ qualitative information which can be obtained from consulting the experts of the national mapping agency of each country.…”
