Abstract
Energy cogeneration through solar thermal systems is an efficient solution to meet industrial energy demand. In Brazil, with its solar potential and the need for renewable sources, there are opportunities to take advantage of this resource. One study presented a model of a cogeneration plant in Surubim-PE, which generates electricity and hot water. Using parabolic trough solar concentrators, the SAM simulator calculates the energy absorbed in the region to produce electricity in an organic Rankine cycle, with toluene as the working fluid due to its efficiency at temperatures below 100°C. The EES software simulates the organic cycle, which consumes 98% less water than conventional plants. Residual thermal energy is used to produce hot water in processes in the textile industry. The implementation of this system has practical and sustainable applications, contributing to the reduction of the emission of harmful gases to the environment. Solar thermal energy offers significant potential that can be exploited to meet industrial energy demands and promote the transition to a cleaner and more sustainable energy matrix.
