We suggest to include the following parameters and descriptions on the Edit biogas tab in order to improve the TrutEE platform user experience:
End user location city
Description: City where the proposed system is to be installed (choose the closest) Note: (more locations should be included in the dropdown list)
Installed Capacity [kW] (Note: Unit must we included)
Description: installed thermal capacity of the proposed system.
Note: We recommend to include here the following new fields for n substrates. 3 or 4 substrates should be fine.
Substrate i ( Note: where i = 1 to n and n>=4)
Annual Feed Amount [t/y] (Note: instead of t/a)
Description: Tonnes of substrate ifresh matter introduced to the digester per year.
Dry Matter Share [%]
Description: Percentage of dry matter in respect of substrate i fresh matter.
Organic Matter Share [% DM]
Description: OM/DM (%DM) Percentage of organic matter in respect of substrate i dry matter
Digested Organic Matter [%]
Description: DOM/OM (%) Percentage of organic matter that is degraded in the production of biogas compared to the initial substrate i organic matter.
Methane productivity [Nm^3/t OM] (Note: instead of Nm^3/ tSV)
Description: (Normal Methane cubic Meters per Tonne of Organic Matter). Methane production potential per unit of substrate i organic matter.
Content of Methane in Biogas [%]
Description: Percentage of methane in the biogas produced from substrate i.
(Note: Include the same for the n substrates)
Digester temperature [ deg C]
Description: Operation temperature of the digesters in Celsius degrees.
Thermal losses in digester [%]
Description: Percentage of thermal losses in the digesters compared to the total produced thermal energy.
Internal boiler efficiency [%]
Description: Efficiency of the internal auxiliary boiler used to heat the digester.
Self comsuption of methane for digester heating [%]
Description: Percentage of produced methane consumed by the internal auxiliary boiler for digester heating.
Usable methane [Nm^3/y] (Note: instead of Nm^3/a)
Description: Usable methane production from the digesters in Normal Methane cubic meters per year.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
In order to improve the usability of the trust-EE platform we think that there should be up to 4 substrates.
We suggest letting the user choose up to 4 substrates on dropdown lists, after that the platform will show the default properties for each substrate from the database. Nevertheless, the user must be able to modify all those default properties to introduce more accurate data.
I also suggest that the option 'other' on the dropdown list should be kept. In this way the user can introduce either:
- a) Up to 4 substrates and their properties
- b) or just the option 'other' with the total amount of the feeding mixture and the average properties of the mixture (just the way it is now).
