Thermodynamic Analysis and Comparison of Two Small-Scale Solar Electrical Power Generation Systems

Abstract: In this study, two schemes of solar electrical power generation are designed and compared according to solar collection area minimization. The one comprises the parabolic trough collector, dual-tank of molten salt heat storage, and Organic Rankine cycle. The other consists of photovoltaic cell, polymer electrolyte membrane water electrolyzer, and polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell. The effects of irradiation value, environmental temperature, and energy storage type on thermodynamic performance were investi… Show more

“…The mass of the ethanol solution at initial ethanol concentrations of 10%, 15%, and 20% were calculated using Equation (7). From these calculations, the mass of the ethanol solution was found to be 4.894 kg, 4.841 kg, and 4.789 kg at initial ethanol concentrations of 10%, 15%, and 20%, respectively.…”
