Development and assessment of a novel solar heliostat-based multigeneration system
In this paper, a comprehensive study on thermodynamic analysis and assessment, through energy and exergy approaches, is conducted for a multigenerational solar based integrated energy system. The system proposed in this study is based on heliostat solar system integrated with steam turbine. The system is also integrated with seawater reverse osmosis desalination unit and absorption cooling system. The desalination unit operates with energy recovery through the utilization of Pelton turbine. The system produces cooling, heating, fresh water and hydrogen through electrolysis. It is furthermore designed to cover the demand of 4 MW electric power with the production of 1.25 kg/h of hydrogen and 90 kg/s of fresh water. The system advisor model software is applied on a case study for the solar heliostat optimization analysis. (C) 2017 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
