1. Introduction
Brazil is one of the most advanced countries in research, development and innovation in the use of
Bioenergy in World (LORA, 2009)
Bioelectricity can be one of solutions for electricity supply in communities with electricity shortage
and regional development programs (GELLER, 2004). For this, there must be the basis of appropriate
technology, appropriate models and sustainable management of all of these. Nowadays, however, there is
no fully reliable trading technology available for power generation on a small scale from any source, that
presents a cost benefit that is affordable and easy operation and maintenance (CHICCO, 2009).
Furthermore, it is known that the more varied is a technological package, the greater is the reliability
level (Borges, 2012), like hybrid energy systems.
All sources of bioelectricity has less impact on greenhouse emissions compared to fossil fuels
(KIMMING, 2011), thus, another important aspect is the increasing environmental pressure mainly on the
energy sector, thus there is a strong tendency to government incentives and competitive industry with
research and development of clean energy sources.
2. Objectives
2.1. General Objectives
Study the potential available and the technologies related to the production of bioelectricity in Brazil.
2.2. specific Objectives
2.2.1. Study the technological and fomentations for bioelectricity structure in Brazil and other key
countries to area.
2.2.2. Analysing the context of R & D projects past and present creating guidelines for development
of new projects of success.
2.2.3. Analyzed in the context of the project SMILE (Solar-hybrid microturbine systems for
cogeneration in agro-industrial electricity and heat production - USP Pirassununga) a model of small-scale
cogeneration applied to industry in a model of solar hybrid bioelectricity for biofuel economy.
3. Methodology
3.1. The study of technological structure and fomentations to take a survey of available technologies
in the domestic and international market by the associations as ABDI,Abinee, Abradee Ubrabio, APROBIO,
ABIPEL, BBER, and their compatibility with the rules of fund research, development and innovation. Take
into account constraintssuch as the Finame - BNDES, Brazil's main foment of industrial development,
whichaccording to the industry sector, an index of nationalization (FERRAZ, 2012) isnecessary. Thus, we
raise the potential supply of compatible technologies bioenergy atthe domestic market through supplier
development or technology transfer.
3.2. The study of current projects, take into account the level of installed today in the value chain in
the field of bioelectricity technology. Through a study of the life cycle of projects and modeling and
optimization for multi-scale (YUE, 2014) will be organically integrated and a holistic view of the layers of
strategic decisions, peculiarities of the value chain of bioelectricity, comparison of distributed generation and
centralized bioelectricity, competitiveness between different parts (areas and sectors), the influence of
international trade in biofuels and biomass and integration with other sectors such as food, oil and carbon
market.
3.3. Model of small-scale cogeneration applied to industry in a model of solar hybrid bioelectricity:
3.3.1. Overview of the system and system boundaries: The study is based on a study of the lives of
four projects to produce bioelectricity cycle, the base case is the micro thermal plant at USP Pirassununga in
comparison with other projects in the same region as the Plant Baldin of energy, Abengoa, which will rise
impacts (BHAT, 2009), the fourth senary account shall be taken conventionally produced energy and
consumer patterns. The consumer base will be defined according to the average of the industrial sector in
their energy efficiency benchmarks in Useful Energy Balance in the National Energy Balance (BEN 2014).
3.3.2. Demands for Heat and Power: The functional unit will be determined by the equivalent of
Useful Energy Balance for the industrial sector. To address the difference horosazonal energy demand, it will
be assumed that the energy will be acquired through the public network of electricity or gas to consumers or
biofuel / biomass to produce additional power and heat.
3.3.3. Production of Cogeneration Systems: The systems to be used will be based on basically two
thermodynamic cycles compatible with hybridization: The Bryton and Rankine cycles. These two cycles are
compatible with a co-firing and are highly flexible with hybrid systems, either with biofuel, biomass, fossil fuel,
solar energy, or directly. The SMILE system have external combustion system with a hybrid microturbine,
where biofuel is supplemented with solar energy. Systems Abengoa and Baldin, are systems today only with
biomass from sugarcane, but are compatible with hybridization with solar energy.
4. Strategies
The main strategy of the project is the development of a hybrid solution by deploying components to
a hybrid plant biomass / biofuel, so reducing costs (CAPEX and OPEX), sharing of components and auxiliary
systems, reduction of CO2 emissions and sharing of existing network
connection to generate continuous power.
5. Expected Results
At the end, there are expectations among stakeholders gathered for the generation of a new
technological model for exploiting this opportunity in the energy sector in Brazil and that puts into practice the
idea of the significant reduction in final energy costs compared to a purely plant biofuel or biomass around
15% to 45% (COT, 2010; NIXON, 2012; RABBIT, 2012), providing a basis for technological innovation of
hybrid plants or solutions for deployment of hybridization systems for existing biomass plants.
