Abstract

In this paper, a dynamic biomass gasification model was developed based on the hybrid peripheral fragmentation and shrinking-core (HPFS) model. To improve the accuracy of syngas generation transient prediction, the chemical kinetic model was trained using global surrogate optimization techniques. The pre-exponential factors of kinetic reactions are calibrated under non-catalytic conditions, employing experimental transient data of syngas generation rate and compositions under different temperatures and gasifying agents. The DYCORS and GOMORS were employed as the numerical solvers for finding the global optimum solution of the pre-exponential factors. The calibrated kinetic models based on both single-objective and multi-objective approaches have been validated by experimental data in four different biomass gasification scenarios. The calibrated kinetic model shows an over 95% decrease in terms of integrated squared error (ISE)-based model mismatch when compared to the original kinetic model.
