Estudo comparativo entre turbina a vapor e motor elétrico aplicado a usina sucroalcoleira

Abstract

The steam turbine has always been the main way to prepare equipment and drive grinding sugar cane in sucroalcooleiras plants. With the technological advancement, both of the turbines and electric motors, the comparison between the advantages of these two kinds of firing is inevitable. The differences are numerous: energy efficiency, total thermal performance, performance and technical advantages and disadvantages. In addition, the plants are investing in cogeneration of energy, that is, in addition to using the energy generated in the process, selling electricity to the local dealership, which is not always possible due to the amount and modifications nécessaires investment. Turinas replacement drives us is a tendency for plants that only aim to improve thermal efficiency and your is almost mandatory for those wishing to cogerir energy. In this context, this work is intended to carry out a comparative study between steam turbine and electric motor applied to the sucroalcoleira power plant.
