The generated gas is burned in secondary combustion chamber<br \/>\r\nlocated beyond the gas generator. Flue gas flows through the heat<br \/>\r\nexchanger where the compressed air is heated and consequently<br \/>\r\nbrought to a micro turbine. Except description, this paper brings our<br \/>\r\nbasic experiences from operating of pilot plant (operating parameters,<br \/>\r\ncontributions, problems during operating, etc.). The principal<br \/>\r\nadvantage of the given cycle is the fact that there is no contact<br \/>\r\nbetween the generated gas and the turbine. So there is no need for<br \/>\r\ncostly and complicated gas cleaning which is the main source of<br \/>\r\noperating problems in direct use in combustion engines because the<br \/>\r\ncontent of impurities in the gas causes operation problems to the units<br \/>\r\ndue to clogging and tarring of working surfaces of engines and<br \/>\r\nturbines, which may lead as far as serious damage to the equipment<br \/>\r\nunder operation. Another merit is the compact container package<br \/>\r\nmaking installation of the facility easier or making it relatively more<br \/>\r\nmobile. We imagine, this solution of cogeneration from biomass or<br \/>\r\nwaste can be suitable for small industrial or communal applications,<br \/>\r\nfor low output cogeneration.<\/p>\r\n","references":"[1] Update of State Energy Policy of the Czech Republic,\r\nhttp:\/\/www.mpo.cz\/kalendar\/download\/71707\/priloha002.pdf, cited\r\n10.11.2009\r\n[2] National program thrifty handling energy and using of their renewable\r\nand waste sources during 2006\u20132009, http:\/\/www.mpo.cz\/\r\ndokument38954.html, cited 10.11.2009\r\n[3] Report of Independent Expert board for appraisal of long-term energy\r\nrequirement of Czech Republic, version for review from 30.9.2008\r\n[4] Bridgwater, A.
