“…Such a configuration minimizes the penalization of electricity generation from the power block. Similar results were obtained by Nazari and Porkhial (2020), who proposed a novel polygeneration system that comprehends a PTC plant integrated with an externally fired gas turbine, a steam and ORC, a single-effect absorption chiller, a process heat demand, and an MED plant. The integration of the absorption chiller and process heat was performed using the waste heat from the steam Rankine cycle, while the MED plant was powered by the residual heat of the external boiler.…”

Concentrated solar power (CSP) technologies have been developed over the past four decades for commercial operation, establishing them as reliable power generation sources in regions with high direct solar irradiance. The sizing of the solar field, thermal energy storage systems, and power block enables CSP plants to operate under various operating conditions, while also exhibiting capabilities to generate multiple products such as electricity, heat, desalination, and cooling.The limitations of CSP systems can be reduced by utilizing the positive traits of other technologies, thus resulting in hybrid plant configurations that can fully exploit different technology strengths while minimizing their individual weaknesses. This review presents the state of the art on CSP stand-alone plants for both power generation and combined generation of different products. Subsequently, the characteristics of CSP plants hybridized with photovoltaics, wind, fossil fuels, and biomass systems are discussed for both power multiple-product generation. The review of assessment methodologies provides suggestions for both assessment and performance analysis and comparison with other generation technologies. This review shows that hybrid CSP plants have clear advantages in terms of cost, flexibility of operation, adaptability, and capability for the multigeneration of different products compared with stand-alone plants used to generate each product individually. Hybrid CSP plants have advantages and can be designed to satisfy multiple demands on a case-by-case basis and are valid alternatives to combinations of stand-alone plants.

“…Compared to the base case, the optimized integrated plant can achieve up to 17% higher electrical power, up to 23% higher cooling power, and about 200% higher heating power, with a first law efficiency of 54%. Nazari and Porkhial [59] proposed a multi-generation system composed of a solar field, a biomass-fueled externally fired gas turbine, a steam Rankine Cycle, an ORC, an absorption chiller, and a desalination plant. The whole system has been modeled by EES software and the results showed the good potential of potable water production, a higher cooling capacity compared to the available literature, along with an achievable exergy efficiency of 21.5%.…”

In the context of the great research pulse on clean energy transition, distributed energy systems have a key role, especially in the case of integration of both renewable and traditional energy sources. The stable interest in small-scale gas turbines can further increase owing to their flexibility in both operation and fuel supply. Since their not-excellent electrical efficiency, research activities on micro gas turbine (MGT) are focused on the performance improvements that are achievable in several ways, like modifying the Brayton cycle, integrating two or more plants, using cleaner fuels. Hence, during the last decades, the growing interest in MGT-based energy systems encouraged the development of many numerical approaches aimed to provide a reliable and effective prediction of the energy systems' behavior. Indeed, numerical modeling can help to individuate potentialities and issues of each enhanced layout or hybrid energy system, and this review aims to discuss the various layout solutions proposed by researchers, with particular attention to recent publications, highlighting the adopted modeling approaches and methods.

“…In recent studies, it was reported that biofuel CHP plants with and without energy storage can provide flexibility to balance the intermittency of VRE and power demand. ,,, Table summarizes recent publications on biomass power generation systems combined with VRE. Currently, several methods have been proposed such as a direct solar injection into a gasifier, − a preheating of steam or air to a gasifier − or to a boiler, − preheating HTF to GT, − or preheating steam to ST. ,− Other methods such as preheating of biogas before gasifier, internal combustion (IC) engines combined with PV and secondary batteries, , and a photothermal reactor have also been reported. Pérez-Uresti et al designed a renewable-utility-based plant that combines wind, CSP, biomass (boiler, gasifier), and waste (cattle manure and municipal solid waste with a digester) and optimized the process at weekly, monthly, and annual discretization times.…”

For the development of sustainable energy and a great reduction of CO2 emission into the atmosphere, renewable energy has been rapidly installed and used in the last two decades. Many biomass power plants have been built and operated because the combustion of biomass is considered to be renewable and carbon neutral. In this review, the following topics are summarized: (1) economic values of bioproducts, (2) many restrictions of biomass power generation systems such as (i) very low energy efficiency from solar power to electricity, (ii) limiting amount of resource, and (iii) requirement of fuel cost for operation, and (3) characteristics of combustion technologies including drawbacks and the following strong points: (i) high power, (ii) high-temperature heat generation, and (iii) utilization for hygiene or sanitation purposes. The reduction of simple combustion and the noble use of combustion technology by effectively utilizing these strongpoints are required to greatly reduce CO2 emission even if renewable biomass is used. Next-generation biomass power generation systems integrated with variable renewable energy and energy storage system for non-steady-state operation are proposed as a promising method to balance the intermittent electricity supply by variable renewable energy and electricity demands.
