Implication

Randomized trial shows flexible co-production of methanol and power enhances profit, highlighting operational adaptability under market conditions.

Key Points

  • This study aims to develop a flexible chemical looping system for co-producing methanol and power from solid waste, addressing dynamic market conditions.
  • Developed a flexible waste-to-methanol-and-power framework using oxygen-carrier split control.
  • Implemented a rolling day-ahead scheduling system for managing delivery commitments and market signals.
  • Conducted multi-year simulations utilizing Japanese electricity prices for economic evaluation.
  • Achieved annual profit gains between 1.7% and 15% for flexible operation under varying market scenarios.
  • Demonstrated reduced levelized methanol costs due to operational flexibility.
  • Showed that the approach is favorable under a discrete-modular gas-turbine procurement benchmark.
