RESUMO:

The production of electric power constitutes a major part of the economic growth plan
of any nation. Relative to other nations, Brazil possesses key advantages since the
design of its energetic matrix can be based on abundant renewable sources. One such
source, the focus of this work, is the biomass of the sugar cane, which is used in the
cogeneration of power that strengthens the Brazilian matrix. Although long available,
note that this source of energy has been underutilized in the commercial production and
distribution of electric power. The Program for the Incentive of Alternative Energy
sources (Programa para of Incentivo `as Fontes Alternativas de Energia, PROINFA),
established by the Federal Government in 2002, but extinct today, and the rise of market
for carbon credits triggered by the Kyoto Protocol, improved the situation in the last
decade. Indeed, during this period, the sugar-cane biomass has been used more
intensely, emerging as an important component of the Brazilian energetic matrix. This
dissertation analyzes data related to the harvest/milling and the amount of electric power
exported from a sugar-cane alcohol based thermoelectric plant that sells electric power
in an environment of regulated contraction (ERC) and in an environment of free
contraction (EFC), which is derived from sugar-cane bagasse. It was verified that using
the bagasse as the sole source of fuel, it was not possible to supply the yearly amount of
power that had been agreed upon with various electrical power companies. Therefore,
new calculation were made to add the straw with the bagasse to increase the power
production at the end of the cycle. It is concluded that the combined bagasse-straw used
as the fuel for the plant would provide a significant increased to the exported power,
achieving the annual goals, and considerably increasing the profits due to the sale of
electric power.
