Advanced exergy analysis and exergoeconomic performance evaluation of thermal processes in an existing industrial plant

Advanced exergoeconomic analysis of a gas engine heat pump (GEHP) for food drying processes

“…Acikkalp et al [33] used advanced exergy and advanced exergoeconomic analyses to evaluate an electricity generation facility. Vucković et al [34] investigated the performance of critical components and the potential for efficiency improvement of a complex industrial energy supply plant using an advanced exergy analysis. In all studies in the literature, where an advanced exergy-based method has been applied, the most important system components and their interactions have been identified, and options for improving the overall systems have been revealed.…”

“…In the literature, there is a limited number of papers related to advanced exergy-and exergoeconomic-based analyses of energy conversion systems [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34].…”

Exergy and exergoeconomic analysis of sustainable direct steam generation solar power plants

“…Shokati et al [3] presented comparative exergoeconomic analysis for absorption Rankine power cycle using specific costing method. Vučković et al [4] evaluated the performance of industrial plant using advanced exergy and exergoeconomic analysis based on real plant data. They [4] concluded that 80% of the total exergy destruction mainly occurs in steam boiler, and 83.5% of this destruction is unavoidable.…”

Feasibility study on combining anaerobic digestion and biomass gasification to increase the production of biomethane

“…Therefore, optimizing a system should not only pursue the highest energy efficiency; it is also important to maximize the production of the useful energy, i.e. exergy [36,37]. So, exergy analysis was also performed to compare the new concept with the standalone systems running individually.…”
