In this paper, a new geothermal-based multigeneration system is designed and investigated in both thermodynamic and economic analyses. The reason to select the geothermal source is that geothermal power is a renewable and sustainable power resource, and also it is not weather dependent. The proposed geothermal-based multigeneration plant is able to produce power, heating, cooling, swimming pool heating, and hydrogen. The main idea in this renewable-based multigeneration system is to create valuable products by using waste heat of subsystems. Then, by applying thermodynamic analyses, the energy and exergy performances of proposed multigeneration system are computed. Also, parametric work has been performed in order to see the impacts of the reference temperature, geothermal fluid temperature, and geothermal water mass flow rate. Finally, exergo-economic analysis based on exergy destruction or thermodynamic losses is done to gain more information about the system and to evaluate it better. According to the calculations, the overall plant's energy and exergy performances are 32.28% and 25.39%. Economic analysis indicates that hydrogen production cost can be dropped down to 1.06 $/kg H2. 相似文献

Geothermal power plants emit high amount of hydrogen sulfide (H2S). The presence of H2S in the air, water, soils and vegetation is one of the main environmental concerns for geothermal fields. There is an increasing interest in developing suitable methods and technologies to produce hydrogen from H2S as promising alternative solution for energy requirements. In the present study, the AMIS technology is the invention of a proprietary technology (AMIS® - acronym for “Abatement of Mercury and Hydrogen Sulfide” in Italian language) for the abatement of hydrogen sulphide and mercury emission, is primarily employed to produce hydrogen from H2S. A proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer operates at 150 °C with gaseous H2S sulfur dimer in the anode compartment and hydrogen gas in the cathode compartment. Thermodynamic calculations of electrolysis process are made and parametric studies are undertaken by changing several parameters of the process. Also, energy and exergy efficiencies of the process are calculated as % 27.8 and % 57.1 at 150 °C inlet temperature of H2S, respectively. 相似文献

The study aims to optimize the geothermal and solar-assisted sustainable energy and hydrogen production system by considering the genetic algorithm. The study will be useful by integrating hydrogen as an energy storage unit to bring sustainability to smart grid systems. Using the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based Genetic Algorithm (GA) optimization technique in the study will ensure that the system is constantly studied in the most suitable under different climatic and operating conditions, including unit product cost and the plant's power output. The water temperature of the Afyon Geothermal Power Plant varies between 70 and 130 °C, and its mass flow rate varies between 70 and 150 kg/s. In addition, the solar radiation varies between 300 and 1000 W/m2 for different periods. The net power generated from the region's geothermal and solar energy-supported system is calculated as 2900 kW. If all of this produced power is used for hydrogen production in the electrolysis unit, 0.0185 kg/s hydrogen can be produced. The results indicated that the overall energy and exergy efficiencies of the integrated system are 4.97% and 16.0%, respectively. The cost of electricity generated in the combined geothermal and solar power plant is 0.027 $/kWh if the electricity is directly supplied to the grid and used. The optimized cost of hydrogen produced using the electricity produced in geothermal and solar power plants in the electrolysis unit is calculated as 1.576 $/kg H2. The optimized unit cost of electricity produced due to hydrogen in the fuel cell is calculated as 0.091 $/kWh. 相似文献

In the presented paper, energy and exergy analysis is performed for thermochemical hydrogen (H2) production facility based on solar power. Thermal power used in thermochemical cycles and electricity production is obtained from concentrated solar power systems. In order to investigate the effect of thermochemical cycles on hydrogen production, three different cycles which are low temperature Mg–Cl, H2SO4 and UT-3 cycles are compared. Reheat-regenerative Rankine and recompression S–CO2 Brayton power cycles are considered to supply electricity needed in the Mg–Cl and H2SO4 thermochemical cycles. Furthermore, the effects of instant solar radiation and concentration ratio on the system performance are investigated. The integration of S–CO2 Brayton power cycle instead of reheat-regenerative Rankine enhances the system performance. The maximum exergy efficiency which is obtained in the system with Mg–Cl thermochemical and recompression S–CO2 Brayton power cycles is 27%. Although the energy and exergy efficiencies decrease with the increase of the solar radiation, they increase with the increase of the concentration ratio. The highest exergy destruction occurred in the solar energy unit. 相似文献

Seven models are considered for the production and liquefaction of hydrogen by geothermal energy. In these models, we use electrolysis and high-temperature steam electrolysis processes for hydrogen production, a binary power plant for geothermal power production, and a pre-cooled Linde–Hampson cycle for hydrogen liquefaction. Also, an absorption cooling system is used for the pre-cooling of hydrogen before the liquefaction process. A methodology is developed for the economic analysis of the models. It is estimated that the cost of hydrogen production and liquefaction ranges between 0.979 $/kg H2 and 2.615 $/kg H2 depending on the model. The effect of geothermal water temperature on the cost of hydrogen production and liquefaction is investigated. The results show that the cost of hydrogen production and liquefaction decreases as the geothermal water temperature increases. Also, capital costs for the models involving hydrogen liquefaction are greater than those for the models involving hydrogen production only. 相似文献

A techno-economic assessment is conducted for a multigeneration system comprised of two renewable energy subsystems—geothermal and solar—to supply electrical power, cooling, heating, hydrogen and hot water for buildings. The proposed system is evaluated in terms of energy and exergy efficiencies. The simulation results show that the electrolyzer produces 2.7 kg/h hydrogen. A parametric study is carried out to assess the effect of various parameters on the system energy and exergy efficiencies. The economic assessment, performed using the Hybrid Optimization of Multiple Energy Resources (HOMER) software, shows that the net present cost of the optimized electrical power system is $476,000 and the levelized cost of electricity is $0.089/kWh. 相似文献

In this study, a solar and wind energy-based system integrated with H2O2 combustor is developed to produce fresh water from sea-water desalination, electricity, cooling, hydrogen, and oxygen as well as to provide food drying and domestic water heating. The main components of the proposed system contains concentrated solar power (CSP), wind turbine, Rankine cycle, multi stage flash (MSF) desalination unit, water electrolyzer, a refrigeration unit, a food drying system, oxy-hydrogen combustor, domestic water heater, as well as hydrogen and oxygen storage units. Furthermore, for continuous operation of the system during night time and in cloudy weather conditions, a thermal energy storage (TES) unit and oxy-hydrogen combustion unit are integrated to the system. Based on energy and exergy balances, performance assessment of the proposed system is conducted. Moreover, effects of various parameters such as solar irradiation, wind speed and ambient temperature on some of the outputs of the system are investigated. The results illustrate that the proposed system fulfills most of the remote community requirements in an efficient, environmentally benign and uninterrupted way. The obtained results for the reference case show that with installation of parabolic trough concentrators (PTCs) on an area of 111,728 m2, the plant produces net electrical power of approximately 11.4 MW, approximately 828 m3/day of freshwater, about 36 kg/s of hot air for food drying, about 31 kg/s of heated domestic water, approximately 920 kg/day of H2 and about 2.26 MW of cooling. The overall energy efficiency of the system is found to be 50%, while the exergy efficiency of the system is 34%. In addition, the energy and exergy efficiencies of single generation in which there is only electrical power output are approximately 15% and 16%, respectively. 相似文献

Increasing environmental concerns and decreasing fossil fuel sources compel engineers and scientists to find resilient, clean, and inexpensive alternative energy options Recently, the usage of renewable power resources has risen, while the efficiency improvement studies have continued. To improve the efficiency of the plants, it is of great significance to recover and use the waste heat to generate other useful products. In this paper, a novel integrated energy plant utilizing a geothermal resource to produce hydrogen, ammonia, power, fresh water, hot water, heated air for drying, heating, and cooling is designed. Hydrogen, as an energy carrier, has become an attractive choice for energy systems in recent years due to its features like high energy content, clean, bountiful supply, non-toxic and high efficiency. Furthermore in this study, hydrogen beside electricity is selected to produce and stored in a hydrogen storage tank, and some amount of hydrogen is mixed with nitrogen to compound ammonia. In order to determine the irreversibilities occurring within the system and plant performance, energy and exergy analyses are then performed accordingly. In the design of the plant, each sub-system is integrated in a sensible manner, and the streams connecting sub-systems are enumerated. Then thermodynamic balance equations, in terms of mass, energy, entropy and exergy, are introduced for each unit of the plant. Based on the system inputs and outputs, the energy and exergy efficiencies of the entire integrated plant is found to be 58.68% and 54.73% with the base parameters. The second part of the analysis contains some parametric studies to reveal how some system parameters, which are the reference temperature, geothermal resource temperature and mass flow rate, and separator inlet pressure in the geothermal cycle, affect both energy and exergy efficiencies and hence the useful outputs. 相似文献

In this paper, a new hybrid system for hydrogen production via solar energy is developed and analyzed. In order to decompose water into hydrogen and oxygen without the net consumption of additional reactants, a steady stream of reacting materials must be maintained in consecutive reaction processes, to avoid reactant replenishment or additional energy input to facilitate the reaction. The system comprises two reactors, which are connected through a proton conducting membrane. Oxidative and reductive quenching pathways are developed for the water reduction and oxidation reactions. Supramolecular complexes [{(bpy)2Ru(dpp)}2RhBr2] (PF6)5 are employed as the photo-catalysts, and an external electric power supply is used to enhance the photochemical reaction. A light driven proton pump is used to increase the photochemical efficiency of both O2 and H2 production reactions. The energy and exergy efficiencies at a system level are analyzed and discussed. The maximum energy conversion of the system can be improved up to 14% by incorporating design modification that yield a corresponding 25% improvement in the exergy efficiency. 相似文献

In this study, the thermodynamic and economic analysis of a geothermal energy assisted hydrogen production system was performed using real-time Artificial Neural Networks on Field Programmable Gate Array. During the modeling of the system in the computer environment, a liquid geothermal resource with a temperature of 200 °C and a flow rate of 100 kg/s was used for electricity generation, and this electricity was used as a work input in the electrolysis unit to split off water into the hydrogen and oxygen. In the designed system, the net work produced from the geothermal power cycle, the overall exergy efficiency of the system, the unit cost of the produced hydrogen and the simple payback period of the system were calculated as 7978 kW, 38.37%, 1.088 $/kg H2 and 4.074 years, respectively. In the second stage of the study, Feed-Forward Artificial Neural Networks model with a single hidden layer was used for modeling the system. The activation functions of the hidden layer and output layer were Tangent Sigmoid and Linear functions, respectively. The system was implemented on Field Programmable Gate Array using the Matlab-based model of the system as a reference. The maximum operating frequency and chip statistics of the designed unit of Field Programmable Gate Array based geothermal energy assisted hydrogen production system were presented. The result can be used to gain better knowledge and optimize hydrogen production systems. 相似文献

Fossil fuel power plants often generate sulfur species such as hydrogen sulfide or sulfur dioxide due to the sulfur content of the raw feedstocks. To combat the associated environmental, processing, and corrosion issues, facilities commonly utilize a Claus process to convert hydrogen sulfide (H2S) to elemental sulfur. Unfortunately, the potential for H2 production from H2S is lost in the Claus process. In this study, two chemical looping process configurations utilizing metal sulfides as chemical intermediates for sulfur recovery are investigated: (1) sulfur recovery (SR) system for sulfur production; (2) sulfur and hydrogen (H2) recovery (SHR) system for sulfur and H2 and production utilizing staged H2 separation. Since, H2 yield and sulfur recovery in a single thermal decomposition reactor is limited by low H2S equilibrium conversion, a staged H2 separation approach is used to increase H2S conversion to H2 using the SHR system. Steady-state simulations and optimization of process conditions are conducted in Aspen Plus (v10) simulation software for the chemical looping process configurations and the Claus process. An energy and exergy analysis are done for the Claus and chemical looping processes to demonstrate the relative contribution to exergy destruction from different unit operations as well as overall exergy and energy efficiency. The two chemical looping process configurations are compared against the conventional Claus process for similar sulfur recovery in a 629 MWe integrated gasification combined cycle power plant. The SHR system is found to be the most efficient option due to a 97.11% exergy efficiency with 99.31% H2 recovery. The overall energy and exergy efficiencies of this chemical looping system are 14.74% and 21.54% points higher than the Claus process, respectively, suggesting more efficient use of total input energy. 相似文献

In the present study, an integrated system is proposed and thermodynamically analyzed to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions while improving overall system performance. The integrated system is comprised of a supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2) Rankine cycle cascaded by an Organic (R600) Rankine cycle, an electrolyzer, and a heat recovery system. It is designed to utilize a medium-to-high temperature geothermal energy source for power and hydrogen production, and thermal energy utilization for space heating. Therefore, parametric studies for the supercritical CO2 cycle, the Organic (R600) cycle, and the overall system are conducted. In addition, the effect of various operational conditions, such as geothermal source, ambient and cooling water temperatures on the performance of each cycle and the integrated system, is illustrated. It is found that increasing geothermal source temperature results in slight increases of the exergetic efficiency of the overall system. The energy efficiencies of the CO2 and Organic Rankine cycles do not considerably vary with source temperature changes. The decay of the cooling water temperature leads to a decrease in the overall system exergetic efficiency. The system configuration, which is introduced, is capable of producing about 180 kg/h for the geothermal source of mass flow rate of 40 kg/s and a temperature of 473 K. 相似文献

In this study, biogas power production and green hydrogen potential as an energy carrier are evaluated from biomass. Integrating an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) to benefit from the waste exhaust gases is considered. The power obtained from the ORC is used to produce hydrogen by water electrolysis, eliminate the H2S generated during the biogas production process and store the excess electricity. Thermodynamic and thermoeconomic analyses and optimization of the designed Combined Heat and Power (CHP) system for this purpose have been performed. The proposed study contains originality about the sustainability and efficiency of renewable energy resources. System design and analysis are performed with Engineering Equation Solver (EES) and Aspen Plus software. According to the results of thermodynamic analysis, the energy and exergy efficiency of the existing power plant is 28.69% and 25.15%. The new integrated system's energy, exergy efficiencies, and power capacity are calculated as 41.55%, 36.42%, and 5792 kW. The total hydrogen production from the system is 0.12412 kg/s. According to the results of the thermoeconomic analysis, the unit cost of the electricity produced in the existing power plant is 0.04323 $/kWh. The cost of electricity and hydrogen produced in the new proposed system is determined as 0.03922 $/kWh and 0.181 $/kg H2, respectively. 相似文献

The study presented in this paper examines the operation of an integrated system. The study aims to present a method for utilizing geothermal energy in a way that minimizes energy waste and delivers maximum efficiency. A high-temperature geothermal well with a temperature of 300 °C is used as its primary source of energy. The system produces space heating, space cooling, electric power, hot water, freshwater and hydrogen as its outputs. These outputs utilize the excess energy that is obtained from the geothermal well, and by doing so, reduces waste, and increases the overall efficiency of the system. Among these outputs, freshwater and hydrogen are considered the most valuable, as water is an essential life resource and hydrogen is a prized form of energy. The novelty of this system compared to other geothermal sources is that it does not rely on any other source of input energy. It produces both freshwater, hydrogen and considerable amounts of electric power for commercial, industrial and/or residential use. Electric power is produced by two power cycles; the first one is a double flash steam cycle in the geothermal system and the second one is an organic Rankine cycle. 40% of the total electric power produced is sent to an electrolyzer to produce hydrogen gas. Freshwater is produced by single flash desalination. The system produces 22.1 MW of power as net electricity output. The system is assessed energetically and exergetically; it is found that the energy efficiency is 49.1%, while the exergy efficiency is 67.9%. Further parametric studies are carried out using Engineering Equation Solver (EES) to investigate the influence of operating conditions on the energy and exergy of the system. Moreover, major exergy destruction areas in the system are also identified. 相似文献

This paper presents the thermodynamic analyses for a double flash-binary based integrated geothermal power plant which consists of two steam turbines and one expander in the organic Rankine cycle that uses ammonia as the working fluid and a lithium extraction sub system. The main useful outputs of the plant are electricity, heat for floor heating and lithium carbonate (Li2CO3). The aim of this study is to assess the overall system performance energetically and exergetically. Based on the results obtained from this study, the overall energy and exergy efficiencies are 58.41% and 66.63%, respectively. The present results also show that the Li2CO3 is produced at the rate of 9.52 × 10−3 kg/s. In addition, the effects of changing several important operating parameters and ambient conditions on the energy and exergy efficiencies and the performance of the subsystems are investigated. 相似文献

Hydrogen is an essential component of power-to-gas technologies that are needed for a complete transition to renewable energy systems. Although hydrogen has zero GHG emissions at the end-use point, its production could become an issue if non-renewable, and pollutant energy and material resources are used in this step. Therefore, a crucial step for the fully developed hydrogen economy is to find alternative hydrogen production methods that are clean, efficient, affordable, and reliable. With this motivation, in this study, an integrated and continuous type of hydrogen production system is designed, developed, and investigated. This system has three components. There is a solar spectral splitting device (Unit I), which splits the incoming solar energy into two parts. Photons with longer wavelength is sent to the photovoltaic thermal hybrid solar collector, PV/T, (Unit II) and used for combined heat and power generation. Then the remaining part is transferred to the novel hybrid photoelectrochemical-chloralkali reactor (Unit III) for simultaneous H2, Cl2, and NaOH production. This system has only one energy input, which is the solar irradiation and five outputs, namely H2, Cl2, NaOH, heat, and electricity. Unlike most of the studies in the literature, this system does not use only PV or only a photoelectrochemical reactor. With this approach, solar energy utilization is maximized, and the wasted portion is minimized. By selecting PV/T rather than PV, the performance of the panels is maximized because recovering the by-product heat as a system output in addition to electricity, and the PV/T has less waste and higher efficiency. The present reactor does not use any additional electron donors, so the wastewater discharge is only depleted NaCl solution, which makes the system significantly cleaner than the ones available in the literature. The specific aim of this study is to demonstrate the optimum operating parameters to reach the maximum achievable production rates and efficiencies while keeping the exergy destruction as little as possible. In this study, there are four case studies, and in each case study, one decision variable is optimized to get the desired performance results. Within the selected operating parameter range, all performance criteria (except exergy destruction) are normalized and ranked for proper comparison. The maximum production rates and efficiencies with the least possible exergy destruction are observed at the operating temperature of 30 °C. At 30 °C, 4.18 g/h H2, 127.55 g/h Cl2, 151 W electricity, and 716 W heat are produced with an exergy destruction rate of 95.74 W and 78% and 30% energy and exergy efficiencies, respectively. 相似文献

A novel sulfur–iodine (SI or IS) cycle integrated with HI–I2–H2O electrolysis for hydrogen production was developed and thermodynamically analyzed in this work. HI–I2–H2O electrolysis was used to replace the conventional concentration, distillation, and decomposition processes of HI, so as to simplify the flowsheet of SI cycle. And then the new cycle was divided into Bunsen reaction, H2SO4 decomposition and HI–I2–H2O electrolysis sections. Through incorporating the user-defined module of HI–I2–H2O electrolysis with Aspen Plus, the cycle was simulated and 0.448 mol/h (10 L/h) of H2 was produced. The overall energy and exergy efficiencies of the novel SI system were estimated to be 15.3–31.0% and 32.8%, respectively. Most exergy destruction occurred in the H2SO4 decomposer and condenser for H2SO4 decomposition and Bunsen reaction sections, which accounted for 93.0% and 63.4%, respectively. A high exergy efficiency of 92.4% for HI–I2–H2O electrolysis section with less exergy destruction was determined, mostly due to the transformation of the overall electricity in electrolytic cell to exergy. Appropriate internal heat exchange and waste heat recovery will favor improving the energy and exergy efficiencies. 相似文献

In this study, we investigate a solar-assisted biomass gasification system for hydrogen production and assess its performance thermodynamically using actual literature data. We also analyze the entire system both energetically and exergetically and evaluate its performance through both energy and exergy efficiencies. Three feedstocks, namely beech charcoal, sewage sludge and fluff, are considered as samples in the same reactor. While energy efficiencies vary from 14.14% to 27.29%, exergy efficiencies change from 10.43% to 23.92%. We use a sustainability index (SI), as a function of exergy efficiency, to calculate the impacts on sustainable development and environment. This index changes from 1.12 to 1.31 due to intensive utilization of solar energy. Also, environmental impact of these systems is evaluated through calculating the specific greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. They are determined to be 17.97, 17.51 and 26.74 g CO2/MJ H2 for beech charcoal, sewage sludge and fluff, respectively. 相似文献

This study develops, investigates and analyze a continuous type hybrid photoelectrochemical-chloralkali H2 production reactor that converts the by–products into useful industrial commodities (i.e., Cl2 and NaOH). The proposed system maximizes solar spectrum use by taking advantage of photocatalysis and PV/T. Furthermore, by using electrodes as electron donors to support the photochemical reaction, the potential risk of pollutant emissions is minimized. The final products of this novel integrated system can be listed as H2, Cl2, NaOH, heat, and electricity. In this study, the effects of operating temperature and inlet mass flow rates on H2, Cl2, heat, and electricity production, energy and exergy efficiencies, and exergy destruction rates are presented. The results of this investigation show that the proposed system is capable of producing hydrogen up to 70 L/h, chlorine up to 60 L/h, heat up to 800 W, electricity up to 160 W, with energy and exergy efficiencies up to 80% and 30%, respectively. 相似文献
