Resumen (es)
Resumen (en)

En esta investigacion se dimensiono una planta de generacion electrica a partir de biomasa urbana en Bogota,Colombia, por medio de la viabilidad tecnica y operativa para lo cual se caracterizaron tres tipos de residuos organicos: poda de cesped, poda de arboles y residuos de plazas de mercado. Con este fin se usaron parametros fisicoquımicos como humedad, carbono, hidrogeno y nitrogeno para estimar su poder calorıfico superior (HHV) mediante el uso de la formula de Channiwala - Parikh. Con datos climaticos locales como GHI,DHI,DNI, temperatura y humedad relativa, obtenidos de bases de datos de NREL y el IDEAM, se realizaron simulaciones en SAM (System Advisor Model), para diferentes configuraciones de combustores, seleccionando el lecho fluidizado por su versatilidad y eficiencia, los resultados adquiridos indican una eficiencia termica del 20 %, un factor de capacidad de 63% y una potencia nominal de 133,4 MW, lo que es capaz de abastecer 390.000 hogares en Colombia dependiendo de los consumos promedio. De esta forma se valida el potencial que tiene la biomasa urbana como fuente renovable de energıa en un modelo escalable y replicable, proponiendo ası un manejo integral de gestion de residuos y generacion electrica sostenible en entornos urbanos.

This research involved estimating and sizing an electric power generation plant using urban biomass in Bogot´ a, Colombia, based on technical and operational feasibility. Three types of organic waste were characterized: grass clippings, tree trimmings, and market square residues. For this purpose, physicochemical parameters such as moisture, carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen content were used to estimate their higher heating value (HHV) using the Channiwala{Parikh formula. Using local climate data|such as GHI, DHI, DNI, temperature, and relative humidity|sourced from the NREL and IDEAM databases, simulations were carried out in SAM (System Advisor Model) for different combustor configurations. A fluidized bed was selected due to its versatility and efficiency. The obtained results indicate a thermal efficiency of 20%, a capacity factor of 63%, and a nominal power output of 133.4 MW, which would be capable of supplying electricity to approximately 390,000 households in Colombia, depending on average consumption. This validates the potential of urban biomass as a renewable energy source in a scalable and replicable model, thus proposing an integrated approach to waste management and sustainable power generation in urban settings.
