Abstract
Cogeneration systems are among the most efficient methods to produce mechanical or electrical power as well as thermal energy for industrial and residential applications. An overview of the brazilian cogeneration sector, highlighting its relevance and a bibliographical review of the literature was introduced. This work evaluated technically and economically the proposal of a thermal cycle representative of the brazilian cogeneration sector. Since the methodology depends on the price of electricity and fuel, and these parameters vary according to the brazilian state, this study allowed to identify the brazilian state that presents better investment for a typical cogeneration plant. A sensitivity analysis was presented. It is intended that the tool that was presented in this work serve as guidance for studies and research in the cogeneration sector, at least in the first phase of a project.
