Özet

The detailed thermodynamic evaluation for combined system assisted on solar energy for poly-generation are studied in this paper. This poly-generation cycle is operated by the concentrating solar radiation by using the parabolic dish solar collector series. The beneficial exits of this integrated plant are the electricity, fresh-water, hot-water, heating-cooling, and hydrogen while there are different heat energy recovery processes within the plant for development performance. A Rankine cycle with three turbines is employed for electricity production. In addition to that, the desalination aim is performed by utilizing the waste heat of electricity production cycle in a membrane distillation unit for fresh-water generation. Also, a PEM electrolyzer sub-component is utilized for hydrogen generation aim in the case of excess power generation. Finally, the hot-water production cycle is performed via the exiting working fluid from the very high-temperature generator of the cooling cycle. Moreover, based on the thermodynamic assessment outputs, the whole energy and exergy efficiencies of 58.43% and 54.18% are computed for the investigated solar plant, respectively.
