Özet

This research paper proposes a parabolic dish solar collector-based multigeneration plant that combines a supercritical Brayton cycle with intercooling and two turbines, a Rankine cycle with reheat, an organic Rankine cycle with an ejector, a desalination unit, and a PEM electrolyzer. In addition to conducting comprehensive evaluations of environmental effect analysis (carbon dioxide emissions) and thermodynamic performance, this research paper aims to create power, green hydrogen, heating, cooling, and freshwater in ways that are environmentally friendly. In this regard, detailed and parametric assessments of the designed model's energetic efficiency, exergetic efficiency, and exergy destruction are conducted. As indicated by the results, the efficiency indicators of the developed scheme show that the energy and exergy values are determined as 36.09 % and 18.43 %, correspondingly. Additionally, the developed plant can also generate 0.0008368 kg/s of green hydrogen. This study concludes that the developed integrated plant can prevent 0.6796 kg/kWh of emissions for multi-products.
