Abstract:

Cogeneration power plants in sugar factories utilize bagasse to simultaneously produce steam and electricity. The electricity generated in bagasse cogeneration units is primarily used for internal consumption, with a significant portion supplied to the state grid at a predetermined price, influenced by local demand and supply conditions. To maximize the economic viability of these operations, continuous analysis of input-output power balance is essential. The efficiency of cogeneration systems is crucial to their success. This paper investigates the electricity generation potential from bagasse produced at the Pravara Sugar Factory (PSF) in Ahmednagar district. The 30 MW sugar plant has a total installed capacity of 72,000 TCD and produces an average of 233,280 MT of bagasse over a 160 to 180-day operational period. This substantial bagasse output highlights a significant opportunity for electricity generation, which could help alleviate power shortages in the region. The paper evaluates the electricity generation capabilities of the Pravara Sugar Factory, demonstrating its potential to contribute to the local electricity supply.
