Setup 2• Boiler runs as in previous setup, with the solar generated
steam easing its load.
• The amount of steam flow through the CEST is equal to the amount which used to flow through the BPST
• This configuration will allow for bagasse savings during the crushing season and extra electricity generation outside of the crushing season .

• It increases the calorific value of the bagasse, leading lower fuel usage.
• Increases the boiler efficiency.

• The steam heater is similar to that in the sugar drying operation.
• Uses exhaust steam to heat the air. • If just solar energy is used to dry,
bagasse savings is 20.8 %• If just exhaust steam is used,
bagasse savings is still 11.6 %

• 23 MWth Parabolic trough system was modelled in System Advisor Model (SAM).
• Simulation shows that 25.7 GWhth can be produced p.a.
• Results show a low capacity factor of 12.8 %, normally it is between 20-25 %.

• The evacuated tube air collector system is estimated to deliver 17.34 % of the necessary heat to dry all of the bagasse during the crushing season.
• This will lead to a 13.2 % reduction in bagasse usage.
• Or saving 7900 tons of coal.

• Study still has to simulate the effect thermal storage can have on the integration points.
• The financial feasibility of the integration points need to be determined to see if they are worth while.– Internal rate of return (IRR)– Levelised cost of heat (LCOH)
