The objective of this work was to evaluate the integration of Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) with a typical
sugarcane bagasse cogeneration power plant, located in Campo Grande in the State of Mato Grosso do Sul
in Brazil, under thermodynamic and economic aspects. Of the related plantation three million tons of
sugarcane are processed per harvest (April-to-December). The cogeneration cycle has two 170 t/h capacity
steam generators that provide steam at 67 bar / 525 °C
