Abstract :
The proposed paper present a generalized model based on Monte-Carlo simulation able to support the feasibility study by effectively model the production process, the woods groove and the overall logistics. This model can be applied to quantitatively identify cost and benefits for an integrated biomass energetic district and identify, at the same time, potential and pitfalls that usually reduce the success of an ecologic initiative. A case study implementing the proposed methodology is presented and discussed.
