A SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING ELECTRICITY USING PYROLYSIS OF PLASTICS

A system for generating electricity by pyrolyzing organic materials and feeding the pyrolysis fluid to a battery of fuel-cells. The system includes a pyrolysis reactor receiving organic materials and producing pyrolysis fluid. The fluid pyrolysis is then separated into a plurality of sub-mixtures, each provided via a respective separator output. A plurality of fuel-cell devices for generating electricity using different technologies are each coupled to a respective separator output. A controller controls the pyrolysis reactor, the separator device, and the plurality of fuel-cell devices according to a signal representing a demand for electric power, a signal representing cost of operating at least one of the pyrolysis reactor and the fuel-cell generator, and a signal representing minimum price of electric power.
