Currently the cogeneration plants use sugarcane bagasse as fuel in their systems based on Rankine Cycle presenting backpressure and condensing steam turbines. The utilisation of straw has become feasible after a change in the handling of sugarcane harvesting due to the ban on sugarcane burning, thus opening possibilities for its energetic usage. Three configurations of cogeneration plants were analysed: two traditional Rankine cycles, one with backpressure steam turbines and the other with condensing steam turbines, and a proposal of a cogeneration plant based on a BIGCC. Each configuration was assessed through exergetic cost analysis, aiming to evaluate the potential of electricity generation with the combined use of sugarcane bagasse and straw. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 0.344 2016 Chemical Engineering (miscellaneous) 2016 Q2 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Aoki C., Adriana Lodi, Andressa (orcid)0000-0001-8350-6485 Pina, Eduardo Antonio 50 (2016), 193-198 Chem. eng. trans.
