Integrated 4E evaluation and optimization of a hybrid solar–biogas gas turbine system for sustainable hydrogen and desalinated water production
Hybrid energy integration into gas turbine cycles (GTC) has gained attention in recent years, as it improves efficiency and reduces the drawbacks of relying on a single energy source, such as intermittency or high emissions. In this study, a hybrid configuration employing a solar power tower (SPT) and a biogas-fueled combustion chamber is proposed to drive a GTC. The system utilizes the waste heat from the GTC through a combination of an organic Rankine cycle (ORC), a heat recovery steam generator, and a modified Kalina cycle (MKC). Additionally, residual heat from the ORC and MKC is further recovered by a thermoelectric generator and an absorption chiller to enhance overall energy utilization. The electricity generated by the ORC and MKC is directed to a proton exchange membrane electrolyzer and a reverse osmosis desalination unit for the co-production of hydrogen and freshwater, effectively transforming the system into a novel poly-generation layout. A comprehensive mathematical model is developed to evaluate the system from energy, exergy, exergoeconomic, and environmental perspectives. The influence of key parameters on system performance is analyzed, followed by a multi-objective optimization targeting maximum exergy efficiency and minimum total cost rate. In the base scenario, the SPT represents the dominant component in the system, contributing 68.33 % to overall exergy destruction, 75.62 % to the total initial cost, and 68.93 % to the cost associated with exergy destruction. Optimization results yield an exergy efficiency of 30.491 % and a total cost rate of 5832.14 $/h, showing improvements of 4.3 % and 1.8 %, respectively, compared to base case outputs. Under optimal conditions, the system delivers 20,632 kW of electricity, 33,201 kW of heating, 3,003 kW of cooling, along with 6.399 kg/h of hydrogen and 16.07 kg/s of freshwater. Compared to existing designs, the proposed hybrid SPT–biogas GTC configuration demonstrates enhanced efficiency and cost-effectiveness, confirming its potential for integrated production of power, heat, cooling, hydrogen, and desalinated water.
期刊介绍:
Thermal Science and Engineering Progress (TSEP) publishes original, high-quality research articles that span activities ranging from fundamental scientific research and discussion of the more controversial thermodynamic theories, to developments in thermal engineering that are in many instances examples of the way scientists and engineers are addressing the challenges facing a growing population – smart cities and global warming – maximising thermodynamic efficiencies and minimising all heat losses. It is intended that these will be of current relevance and interest to industry, academia and other practitioners. It is evident that many specialised journals in thermal and, to some extent, in fluid disciplines tend to focus on topics that can be classified as fundamental in nature, or are ‘applied’ and near-market. Thermal Science and Engineering Progress will bridge the gap between these two areas, allowing authors to make an easy choice, should they or a journal editor feel that their papers are ‘out of scope’ when considering other journals. The range of topics covered by Thermal Science and Engineering Progress addresses the rapid rate of development being made in thermal transfer processes as they affect traditional fields, and important growth in the topical research areas of aerospace, thermal biological and medical systems, electronics and nano-technologies, renewable energy systems, food production (including agriculture), and the need to minimise man-made thermal impacts on climate change. Review articles on appropriate topics for TSEP are encouraged, although until TSEP is fully established, these will be limited in number. Before submitting such articles, please contact one of the Editors, or a member of the Editorial Advisory Board with an outline of your proposal and your expertise in the area of your review.
