Exergoeconomic estimates for a novel zero-emission process generating hydrogen and electric power

Potential of geothermal energy for electricity generation in Indonesia: A review

“…By continuously using fossil fuel, it will create a lot of problem to the world in general, including decreasing reserves of fossil fuel and greenhouse gas emissions [9][10][11][12][13][14]. Additionally, the price of fossil fuel will increase rapidly in the international market [15].…”

Exergoeconomic assessment of a geothermal assisted high temperature steam electrolysis system

“…Rosen and Scott [15] provide an exergy analysis of hydrogen production from heat and water by electrolysis. Tsatsaronis et al [16] presents the exergoeconomic analysis of a novel process generating electric energy and hydrogen. Coal and high temperature heat are used as the input energy to the process.…”

Optimization of the Design and Partial-Load Operation of Power Plants Using Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Programming

“…Note that conventional optimization procedures (e.g. [3,7,13,16,[54][55][56][57]) might easily have failed to find a design that is feasible for some of the considered partial-load cases due to a violation of the pinch and steam quality constraints. That is why conventional optimization approaches with consideration of only one operation point require a subsequent variation of some decision variables using heuristic methods.…”

“…To reduce the product cost during the entire operation time of a plant, both selection of an optimal plant structure and selection of optimal operating parameters in different load situations are necessary. Several design optimization methods were developed and applied to energy conversion systems in the past, e.g., exergoeconomic methods [8,16,36,47,[54][55][56][57], evolutionary algorithms [3,7,12,13,49], and mathematical programming methods [3-5, 14, 50].…”
