Abstract
This project explores the potential for cost effective electricity production from biomass in distributed generation applications. The objectives included performance documentation, optimization, assessment of deposition, corrosion, and erosion effects, and design for the next generation system.

A turbine with a rotor that consists of parallel disks was tested to demonstrate performance firing biomass fuel. This turbine, called a
