Abstract: A Combined Heat and Power (CHP) system fuelled with rice husk is analysed from the thermodynamic, exergetic and economic point of view. The system is based on a gasification process coupled with a rice drying system. The produced syngas is employed to power a Spark Ignition (SI) Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) working as an electric generator, while the jacket cooling water powers a bottoming Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) to produce electricity for plant self-consumption.
