Estudio técnico del aprovechamiento energético de la biomasa forestal mediante la evaluación del rendimiento de la planta

Abstract

Este Trabajo Fin de Grado estudia la viabilidad técnica y económica del aprovechamiento energético de la biomasa forestal en Cantabria. Tomando como referencia el análisis técnico y económico de la planta de Biomasa de Cantabria (10 MW), se modela el funcionamiento de una instalación de generación eléctrica mediante ciclo Rankine con caldera de lecho fluido burbujeante. Posteriormente, se aplica un escalado para diseñar una planta de menor capacidad (2 MW), denominada BioNansa, adaptada a las características del medio rural. El trabajo incluye una estimación de costes basada en el método exponencial (factor de los seis décimos) y una evaluación del rendimiento global de la planta. Se concluye que aunque la rentabilidad de plantas pequeñas es limitada sin ayudas públicas, este modelo puede ser utilizado en zonas rurales con abundantes recursos forestales, favoreciendo la sostenibilidad de los montes, la economía circular de la zona y el desarrollo local.

This Final Degree Project examines the technical and economic feasibility of forest biomass energy utilization in Cantabria. Based on the technical and economic analysis of the 10 MW Biomasa de Cantabria plant, a model is developed for an electricity generation facility using a Rankine cycle with a bubbling fluidized bed boiler. A scaling process is then applied to design a smaller-capacity plant (2 MW), named BioNansa, tailored to the characteristics of a rural environment. The study includes a cost estimation using the exponential method (six-tenths rule) and an assessment of the plant's overall performance. The results suggest that, although small-scale plants show limited profitability without public support, this model can be implemented in rural areas with abundant forest resources, contributing to forest sustainability, local circular economy, and rural development.
