Exergic performance of power generation systems in cogeneration facilities anal Burdur sugar factory

As an instance, Burdur Sugar Factory has been taken. Energy and exergy analysis of power generation systems in industrial systems are of great importance from the point of view of thermodynamic performance. These analyzes are carried out to increase the efficiency of power generation systems. As a result of the analysis in this study steam turbine -I and steam turbine-II, which are component of power production system, found to be 5141 kW 2247 kW power generation, energy efficiency 13.12% and 12.33%, exergy efficiency 76.27% and 79.26%, respectively. The exergy destruction was found to be 1600 kW and 588.1 kW, respectively. Moreover, the overall efficiency of the system was found to be 76%. It has been observed that the high system efficiency obtained by converting the use of this high-energy steam in the production of sugar at process temperature into useful work is found in these facilities.
