Abstract

This study presents a comprehensive energy and exergy analysis of a cogeneration thermal power plant operating on bagasse, a by-product of sugarcane processing, at Kesari Sugar Mill, Baheri. The analysis aims to evaluate the performance and sustainability of the plant by assessing energy efficiencies, exergy efficiencies, and the associated losses at various stages of the system. The methodology includes thermodynamic modeling of key components such as the boiler, turbine, and condenser, considering real-time operational data. The energy analysis identifies the plant's overall efficiency and highlights significant areas of energy loss, while the exergy analysis provides deeper insights into irreversibilities within the system. Special attention is given to the boiler and turbine as critical components influencing the system’s performance. The results reveal the potential for improvement in energy utilization, reduced exergy destruction, and enhanced thermal efficiency
