The growing electric energy demand and government investments in renewable sources motivated sugar producers in Brazil to improve the thermal efficiencies of their sugarcane plants. For this reason, to generate excess electric energy and to sell it, has become an important and extra source of revenue. This country, one of the biggest sugarcane producers in the world, employs sugar waste, with high energetic potential, in boilers operated with Rankine cycles. Thermodynamic hybrid cycles have been in use in several biomass plants abroad, using natural gas and municipal solids waste as fuels. As shown by different authors, it is possible to increase the thermal efficiency of these plants by means of the heat recovery from hot exhaust gases of a gas turbine operating with natural gas. The main disadvantage of hybrid cycles, for some cases, is the high fraction of natural gas as fuel, making these specific plants economically unfeasible. In this work, a hybrid cycle concept is presented and studied, adapted for Brazilian sugar cane plants which burn bagasse in biomass boilers with reheating systems. The benefits of these thermodynamics cycles include a thermal efficiency improvement thus allowing more power generation and higher production of process steam, for the same amount of bagasse originally burned. Besides the higher thermal efficiency, the hybrid cycle presents the advantage of not depending on large natural gas consumption. This makes the plant s economic feasibility less dependent on fluctuations on natural gas prices. Furthermore, this study shows that, although a fossil fuel is burned, it is possible to reduce CO2/kWh specific emissions due to lower consumption of fossil fuels and to higher power generation.
