Abstract: Wood pellet is solid biomass energy and one of renewable energy sources. In 2008, new and renewable energy (NRE) portion is 2.4% with respect to total primary energy in Korea. Korea government wants to increase new and renewable energy portion up to 6.1% by 2020 [1]. To achieve the target of NRE portion, Korea government has been establishing some policies, such as incentive policy, NRE mandatory use for public building and renewable portfolio standard (RPS) and so on. One of these policies is a domestic wood pellet boiler supply policy. But wood pellet boiler manufacturers who want to participate in the supply policy need a performance test result from a qualified test institute such as Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) and Korea Testing Laboratory (KTL). So we install a test facility to evaluate heating performance of a domestic wood pellet boiler semi-automatically.
