A biomass energy system utilizes an automated biomass distribution system for evenly distributing biomass within a furnace of the biomass energy system. The even distribution of biomass dramatically increases efficiency of the biomass energy system. The automated biomass distribution system includes a control unit, a set of I/P control boxes, and a set of valve assemblies. Each valve assembly includes a pneumatic actuator, a plug and a discharge duct matching the shape of the plug.

An automated biomass distribution system employs an air-sweeping nozzle for evenly distributing biomass on a grate of an existing stoker boiler. Such an automated biomass distribution system includes a valve-controlled air pressure source that generates an air jet upstream of the existing stoker boiler and having a first travel path extended downstream towards the existing stoker boiler; an expansion duct in fluid communication with the valve-controlled air pressure source and disposed downstream therefrom; an air-sweeping nozzle in communication with the expansion duct and having a second travel path extended downstream from the expansion duct; and a biomass distributor having a passageway disposed at the second travel path. Advantageously, the air-sweeping nozzle is disposed at the passageway and downstream of the expansion duct. In this manner, the second travel path is disposed downstream from the first travel path.
