| Abstract | The cogeneration system in Khon - kaen sugar mill ltd., located
in Khon - kaen province was studied and the energy and exergy
analysis of the components of the cogeneration system was carried
out . The cogeneration system consists of four boilers each of
80t /hr capacity , three 5Mw turbogenerators and five 1 5 00HP milling
turbines and one 2000HP unigator turbine. The best case
efficiency of the boiler was found to be 62. 74 % and the worst
case efficiency was found to be 60 . 25%. Using the component
analysis the analysis of the cogeneration system as a whole was
carried out. The energy analysis indicate that the maximum first
law efficiency of the cogeneration system recorded was 60. 3 9%
The cogeneration system was modeled base don the experimental
data collected and a computer program was written which takes
into account the capacity limitations of the components of the
system. Based on the first and second law analysis and on the
model developed energy conservation measures were suggested to
improve the efficiency of the cogeneration system. Major energy
conservation measures suggested were, reduction of excess air
supplied to the boilers, installation of bagasse drier (The source
o f drying of bagasse will be the flue gas) and operating the
turbo generators, milling turbines and unigator turbines at their
rated capacity . |
