Abstract
To fully utilize the flue gas waste heat and liquefied natural gas (LNG) cold energy, three combined cooling, heating, and power (CCHP) systems integrating organic Rankine cycle (ORC), organic flash cycle (OFC), and CO2 capture (CCS) with different structures are proposed in this paper. The proposed systems are subjected to multi-objective optimization using genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) and modified particle swarm optimization (MOPSO), respectively, to find the optimal operating conditions of the systems. The optimization results show that the CCHP system with a three-stage organic Rankine cycle has the best performance, and the multi-objective optimization results are the exergy efficiency, product unit cost, product unit environmental impact, and CO2 capture rate of 83.75 %, 29.13 $/GJ, 22.53 mPts/GJ, and 94.43 % respectively. In addition, energy, exergy, exergoeconomic, and exergoenvironmental (4E) analyses were performed to analyze the system performance under optimal operating conditions. The analysis results show that HX9 has the highest exergy destruction, which affects the system's economic performance and environmental impact. In summary, the proposed system can realize effective cogeneration of cold, heat and power, and complementary utilization of LNG cold energy and flue gas waste heat.
期刊介绍:
The Process Safety and Environmental Protection (PSEP) journal is a leading international publication that focuses on the publication of high-quality, original research papers in the field of engineering, specifically those related to the safety of industrial processes and environmental protection. The journal encourages submissions that present new developments in safety and environmental aspects, particularly those that show how research findings can be applied in process engineering design and practice.
PSEP is particularly interested in research that brings fresh perspectives to established engineering principles, identifies unsolved problems, or suggests directions for future research. The journal also values contributions that push the boundaries of traditional engineering and welcomes multidisciplinary papers.
PSEP's articles are abstracted and indexed by a range of databases and services, which helps to ensure that the journal's research is accessible and recognized in the academic and professional communities. These databases include ANTE, Chemical Abstracts, Chemical Hazards in Industry, Current Contents, Elsevier Engineering Information database, Pascal Francis, Web of Science, Scopus, Engineering Information Database EnCompass LIT (Elsevier), and INSPEC. This wide coverage facilitates the dissemination of the journal's content to a global audience interested in process safety and environmental engineering.
