Abstract:
In this work, a multigeneration system is proposed for power, cooling and freshwater production. The waste heat from a SIEMENS SGT6-2000E GT is utilized to drive a supercritical CO2 recompression Brayton cycle (SCRBC) and multi-effect desalination (MED) with thermal vapor compressor (TVC), while the waste heat from the precooler of the SCRBC is utilized to drive an absorption cooling cycle. Detailed thermodynamic, exergy and exergoeconomic analyses are performed for the proposed multigeneration system using Engineering Equation Solver (EES). A sensitivity study is also performed to study the effects of the main operational parameters on the proposed system performance. Finally, multi-objective optimization using a genetic algorithm approach in EES is carried out to reach the optimal design. The proposed system can consume 34.2% less energy input and reduce CO2 emission by 39.3% compared to the stand-alone systems for power, cooling and freshwater production. The results show that the energy utilization factor and exergy efficiency of the proposed system are improved by 33.6% and 14.3%, respectively, while the total unit product cost is reduced by 11.3% compared to the standalone GT cycle. From exergoeconomic optimization, the proposed system can produce 132.4 MW of power, 7.09 MW of cooling and 650 kg/s of freshwater at energy utilization factor of 57.5%, exergy efficiency of 39.7% and total unit product cost of 16.3 $/GJ.
