Abstract
This work aims at the numerical analysis from the thermodynamic point of view of a power generation plant in a sugar-energy plant using the IPSEpro® software, calculating parameters such as efficiency, thermal energy, power, among others. Two cases were evaluated in which there was a variation in the production mix of the plant and, using the genetic algorithm solution method, an attempt was made to identify optimal operating configurations that maximize power generation, meeting the demand for thermal energy. The optimization had decision variables such as fraction of flow, mass flow, temperatures and pressures of turbines output and as an objective function had the maximization of electric power generations.
