Conventional and Advanced Exergy-Based Analysis of Hybrid Geothermal–Solar Power Plant Based on ORC Cycle

Abstract: Today, as fossil fuels are depleted, renewable energy must be used to meet the needs of human beings. One of the renewable energy sources is undoubtedly the solar–geothermal power plant. In this paper, the conventional and advanced, exergo-environmental and exergo-economic analysis of a geothermal–solar hybrid power plant (SGHPP) based on an organic Rankin cycle (ORC) cycle is investigated. In this regard, at first, a conventional analysis was conducted on a standalone geothermal cycle (first mode), as well as… Show more

“…To this purpose, 1 kg/s of geothermal water at 230 • C was considered as energy input [16]. The geofluid was used to drive both the ORC and HEX units depending on the energy request of the investigated users while the minimum reinjection temperature was fixed to 70 • C to prevent scaling and fouling problems within system components and pipes, according to the literature [82,105,106]. The thermal efficiency of the heating process from the geothermal source was fixed to 0.92 [80] and the minimum pinch-point temperature was considered equal to 10 • C [16].…”

“…To evaluate the environmental impact of the system, the Eco-indicator 99 has been considered; its value represents one-thousandth of the annual environmental impact of an average European inhabitant [ 23 , 65 ]. The environmental impact rate is a function of the useful life of the component and the operating time in hours per year of the components [ 20 , 21 ]: …”
