Abstract: . . .  ranging from 55” to 65”, with a portion of the precipitation in the form of snow. Feedstock Supply Regional Resource assessment and Biomass Fuel availability Since 1994 SEDD has continued to perfect and implement its “Biomass Exchange Supporting Trade, Benefiting Environment & Timber” (BESTBET) analysis for public and private lands in El Dorado, Placer, Nevada and Sierra Counties. One of the original goals of BESTBET was to gather, . . .
. . .  Feedstock Consumption Project development work to date has provided us with several biomass fuel consumption models using the proposed equipment design and thermodynamic conversions expected from the proposed Biomass Fueled MicroTurbine system. All feedstock consumption models have been predicated on the actual energy demands of the Washington Ridge Camp. We have scoped for 24/7 base load application to provide 100% of the Camps . . .

Factoring annual vegetation growth and the potential for biomass to be procured from public and other private lands in the area greatly adds to the justification to complete this project and replicate it many times over.

Capstone already has MicroTurbine systems operating with customers in: Europe, Canada, Japan, Mexico, South America, and the USA. • Combined Heat and Power (CHP) experience. Capstone already has CHP systems operating in Japan, Europe, and North America. William D. Treece, P.E.: Consultant to Capstone, will provide guidance, advice, and technical . . .

We have scoped for 24/7 base load application to provide 100% of the Camps Electric power demands and 30% of the Camps Heat energy requirements. Biomass fuel feedstock will be burned at a rate of 1,000 to 1,300, Bone Dry Tons (BDT) per year depending upon several factors. Factors such as annual temperature patterns at the Camp, moisture . . .
