Abstract

Este trabalho apresenta uma análise teórica do aproveitamento do calor residual gerado em uma planta híbrida de incineração de resíduos sólidos urbanos (RSU) e energia termossolar concentrada (PTC). O sistema estudado opera 24/7, com um fluxo de 27,04 kg/s de RSU e produção contínua de 77 MW, sem armazenamento. A temperatura do calor residual varia entre 220°C e 788°C ao longo do dia. Avalia-se a viabilidade de produção de hidrogênio através de reforma termoquímica e SOEC durante as horas de alta temperatura e a utilização do calor residual noturno para secagem da biomassa ou processos térmicos auxiliares. O estudo considera parâmetros médios de eficiência da literatura sendo o rendimento da reforma de 35% e rendimento do SOEC de 30%. Os resultados indicam que o calor residual pode gerar entre 12 e 18 kg de H₂ por tonelada de RSU durante o dia, pelas rotas tecnológica de SOEC e de reforma termoquímica respectivamente, enquanto o calor noturno pode ser aproveitado para processos de secagem, aumentando a eficiência global do sistema e reduzindo desperdícios energéticos. O trabalho fornece uma base teórica para futuras implementações e otimizações em plantas híbridas urbanas de geração de energia.
