“…The discussed results are indicative that the energy balance of sweet potato -considering its average production and the energy efficiency of the aerial part of the plant -, is similar or greater to that of sugarcane for ethanol production, according to Macedo et al (2008) and Salla et al (2009), respectively; in all scenarios, the energy balances for sweet potato, even when the biomass of the aerial part of the plant was not taken into account, are much greater than those obtained by Salla & Cabello (2010) for corn.…”

“…Macedo et al (2008), for example, found an average of 8.3 for 82 Mg ha -1 stalks in the 2002 crop season, based on the energy efficiency of the produced ethanol and of the stalk biomass used as a source for combustion furnaces. Salla et al (2009) reported a value of 1.1 for 85 Mg ha -1 , considering only the efficiency of the produced ethanol. Regarding the production of ethanol from corn, in Brazil, the energy index is 1.19 for 6 Mg ha -1 , also considering only the energy efficiency of the produced ethanol (Salla & Cabello, 2010).…”

Energy and budget balances for sweet potato-based ethanol production.Abstract -The objective of this work was to assess the viability of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) for ethanol production, as well as to estimate the energy and budget balances for the crop. Data from the agricultural and industrial production phases were evaluated. Those from the agricultural phase were estimated from a field experiment and used for comparison of sweet potato genotypes. Those from the industrial phase were estimated based on the literature on the fossil fuel energy and electricity consumed in the ethanol production process. With average yields of 35 Mg ha -1 roots and 12 Mg ha -1 dry stems, the output/input ratios were 6.64 and 1.93 for the energy and budget balances, respectively. For yields of 50 and 80 Mg ha -1 roots (17 and 27 Mg ha -1 dry stems, respectively), the indexes for energy balance were 7.16 and 7.68, respectively, and those for energy budget were 2.76 and 4.42. The obtained results confirm the great aptitude of the sweet potato crop for biofuel production.
“…Estudos energéticos diferenciam-se das análises econômicas, pois permitem estimar a energia diretamente consumida e/ou indiretamente utilizada em um processo produtivo (SALLA et al 2009). Em indústrias sucroalcooleiras os índices de eficiência podem ser observados nos trabalhos de Schirmer (2006), que verificou os indicadores de eficiência energética e exergética em duas indústrias do setor sucroalcooleiro, essaltando no setor a necessidade do uso racional da energia como fator de modernização e diversificação.…”
RESUMO:A indústria da cana-de-açúcar tornou-se um importante colaborador na geração de energia elétrica no Brasil. Atualmente há 434 usinas de açúcar e etanol em operação no país e deste total 23% exportam energia elétrica para o Sistema Integrado Nacional (SIN). No estado de São Paulo há 182 usinas e 30% delas exportam energia para o sistema. O objetivo deste trabalho é comparar parâmetros de eficiência elétrica no setor sucroalcooleiro. Para o estudo, foram escolhidas três usinas com grande potencial de produção e exportação de açúcar e etanol da região centro-oeste do estado de São Paulo. Foram utilizados, para aferição de parâmetros elétricos, cinco analisadores de energia LANDYS+GYR SAGA. As variáveis analisadas foram a energia consumida (C) e Fator de Potência (FP). Para a análise estatística, adotou-se o delineamento de blocos casualizados, em arranjo fatorial 3 × 5, composto das três empresas sucroalcoleiras e cinco setores de consumo energético sendo: recepção (1), moagem (2), caldeiras (3), atividades auxiliares/tratamento de caldo (4) e destilaria (5) totalizando 15 tratamentos, sendo cada grupo composto por 192 repetições (48 horas × 4 aferições por hora). Conclui-se que não há uma preocupação por parte das usinas em corrigir o (FP) e atingir o valor de 0,92, que é considerado o fator de potência ideal, visto que as usinas, por gerarem sua própria energia, não são penalizadas pelas concessionárias por apresentarem valores abaixo do recomendado. Em relação à energia consumida todos os setores apresentam diferenças significativas. Na comparação setor a setor, a usina denominada USB apresentou diferenças não significativas nos setores 1 e 3 e a usina USC nos setores 1 e 4. Considerando as unidades produtoras do setor sucroalcooleiro e que vendem energia elétrica esse tipo de avaliação é essencial realizar essa analise, uma vez que os setores analisados são os mais importantes na produção do açúcar e etanol, e analisar e acompanhar esses parâmetros de uso e consumo de energia pode propiciar maior oferta de energia a ser comercializada.

STATISTICS ANALYSES OF THE ELECTRIC PARAMETERS IN SUGAR CANE PLANTS AT CENTRAL WEST OF SAO PAULO STATEABSTRACT: The industry of sugar cane has become an important contributor to the generation of electricity in Brazil. Currently there are 434 sugar and ethanol plants operating in the country, 23% of the total export electricity to the National Integrated System (SIN), the state of São Paulo has 182 plants and 30% of them export energy to the SIN. The objective of this study is to compare parameters of electrical efficiency in the sugar and alcohol industry. For the study, three plants localized in the midwest region of Sao Paulo state with great potential for production and exporting bioenergy were chosen. Five energy analyzers LANDYS + GYR SAGA were used for measure the electrical parameters. The variables studied were energy consumption (C) and power factor (PF). For the statistical analysis it...
