Abstract :

India, with a total population of about 920 million, faces a peak electric generating shortage of over 20% and an energy shortage of 12%. Cogeneration, the combined generation of steam and electricity, is an efficient and costeffective means to save energy and reduce pollution. Many studies around the world have identified sugar mill cogeneration as an attractive low–cost option to place additional generating capacity on the grid. The Central Electricity Authority forecasts that India will need a total generating capacity of about 386,000 MWe by 2020. There are 400 to 500 mills currently in operation in India. Many Indian sugar mills have recognized the potential for the profitable generation of excess power via cogeneration. The sugar industry alone has been estimated to have the potential for 1500–4000 MWe, with most estimates around 3500 MWe. The private sector must increase its participation in the development of all viable generating options within India because the capital requirements necessary to meet the country�s power sector goals are beyond the government�s capabilities. With its large coal reserves, India will continue to rely on conventional coal–based power generation technologies to meet most of the country�s future power generation needs. However, nonconventional power sources, such as biomass, wind, and solar, are expected to provide small, but regionally important contributions, to the country�s power supply. This study assess the efficiency of power extracted via cogeneration and its environmental benefits.
