This report details a study on implementing a solar cogeneration system in a pasta factory. It begins with an overview of solar cogeneration technology, highlighting its advantages over traditional methods in terms of reduced greenhouse gas emissions and stable energy prices. The report then analyzes the energy consumption of a typical pasta factory, focusing on the pasteurization and drying processes. It uses SAM (System Advisor Model) software for simulations, including weather data collection, system selection (Cogenra's SunDeck solar panel), and case studies. The results demonstrate the potential for significant energy savings and a sub-5-year payback period. The proposed system includes a 101 kW PV system and a 75 kW Cogenra 'SunDeck' solar cogeneration system. The report concludes by emphasizing the benefits of solar cogeneration, such as reduced natural gas consumption, minimized emissions, and the dual advantages of electricity and heat generation. The report also provides a detailed analysis of the energy consumption in the pasta factory, the SAM modeling of the proposed system, and the results and discussions related to the implementation of the solar cogeneration system. The report also emphasizes the benefits of solar cogeneration, such as reduced natural gas consumption, minimized emissions, and the dual advantages of electricity and heat generation.
