Description
Summary:Gas turbine (GT), organic Rankine cycle and Kalina cycle are foundation of most prominent technologies for the revival of heat which is wasted in terms of generation of power. A significant phase for improvising efficiency of a renewable energy source would be curated through an amalgamation including cooling, heating and power cycle integrated to a renewable-based trigeneration cycle, which has been formally presented in this paper. On this relation geothermal energy, solar energy and biomass are proposed for viable supply of renewable energy. An ejector refrigeration cycle, Li/Br refrigeration cycle and absorption refrigeration cycle are incorporated to constitute the cooling cycle. Solar tower systems, parabolic trough collector system and linear Fresnel reflector systems are the three principal concentrating solar power technologies that can be effectively utilized as assimilation of solar and GT cogeneration systems. Performance of the integration of solar-, biomass- and geothermal-based trigeneration cycles can be assessed by running a simulation analysis in various simulation software such as THERMOFLEX with PEACE software, DYnamic Energy Systems OPTimizer tools, Specific Exergy Costing, Cycle Tempo, Aspen-HYSYS software, ECLIPSE process simulation package and Engineering Equation Solver software.
