Thermodynamic and performance evaluation of an integrated geothermal energy based multigeneration plant
Abstract
In
this study, a new integrated geothermal energy based plant is proposed for multigeneration
purposes such as hydrogen, electricity, hot water, drying, cooling and heating.
Therefore, this proposed integrated system is consisted of proton exchange
membrane electrolyzer, hydrogen compression unit, organic Rankine cycles,
single effect absorption cooling cycle, hot water storage tank and a drying
unit. Thermodynamic analyses including of energy and exergy analyses have been
performed for general evaluation of the proposed system. Energy and exergy efficiencies
of whole plant are found as 37.65% and 39.26%, respectively. In addition to
these analyses, parametric analyses have been carried out to see how some
variables affect system performance and useful product generation. For this
reason, the impacts of dead state temperature, geothermal mass flow rate,
geothermal source temperature and pinch point temperature of heat exchanger 1
are investigated. Any increase in dead state temperature, geothermal mass flow
rate and geothermal source temperature has positive impact on system performance
and useful product generation. Increase in pinch point temperature of heat
exchanger 1 decreases the system performance. Hydrogen production rate reaches
maximum point (0.0024 kg/s) when geothermal mass flow rate is 8.125 kg/s or
when geothermal working fluid temperature is 168 °C for this paper.
