Abstract

In the Member states of EU, the diffusion of boilers utilising wood biomass is related to the safeguarding of the environment and the valorisation of local resources.

Goals of the research are:

• A wider diffusion of boilers utilising biomass, resulting to a more competitive the utilisation of such a fuel for heating purposes with respect to fossil fuels. This aim can be reached through the development of boilers with a very high technology, a friendly-use, and contained cost.
• To develop a measure of polluting emissions, which will allow automatic control of the operation of a boiler.
• To develop a new methodology for the design and the realisation of a prototype based on artificial intelligence to affect the global costs of production.

The results expected from the completion of the research are as follows:

• Virtual prototypes for the tests of different design solutions:
• Realisation of a prototype of a controller based on neural logic for the reduction of emissions and the increase of efficiency with limited costs of industrialisation;
• Realisation of an interface prototype to make friendly the operations of management.
