“…In , for example, a TE analysis is done for calculating the exergetic cost of a combined cooling, heating and power system of a hypothetic hotel, highlighting that exergetic cost is seldom assessed in this type of systems. In Mouaky and Rachek. (2020) a solar and biomass hybrid polygeneration system is analysed under the thermodynamic and TE point of view using a model developed by Ebsilon Professional software.…”

In this work thermoeconomics is applied to a central thermal system covering three buildings that consists of a cogeneration engine, an aerothermal heat pump and a natural gas condensing boiler. Cogeneration systems integrated with renewable energy technologies are very attractive solutions in the building sector. Nevertheless, the use of cogeneration systems together with active envelope solutions, such as the one encountered in this work, are scarce and the efforts to enhance the synergies between both systems are even scarcer. A heat pump is connected to a so-called solar wall to provide hot air and a renewable photovoltaic system supplies the electricity consumed by the heat pump. Thermoeconomics is applied to evaluate the cost of flows based on its energy-quality. Hence, this innovative and complex system can be analysed and diagnosed by this methodology. As a result, thermoeconomics is presented as an effective tool for the detailed study of the energy cost distribution and the key to enhancing energy efficiency.

Multi‐objective optimization of a novel biomass‐based multigeneration system consisting of liquid natural gas open cycle and proton exchange membrane electrolyzer

In the present study, multi-objective optimization has been conducted to optimize a novel multigeneration system that is based on biomass energy, and uses the cold energy of the liquid natural gas as a heat sink. The designed system is an integration of combined gas-steam cycle, a cascade Rankine cycles, a lithium bromide-water absorption refrigeration cycle, a proton exchange membrane electrolyzer, and a liquid natural gas subsystem. The proposed system aims to produce power, cooling, natural gas, and hydrogen. Following thermodynamic and exergoeconomic analysis, two conflicting objectives, that is, total product cost rate and exergy efficiency, are selected for the optimization process. The genetic algorithm is used to optimize the system and the Pareto front plot is achieved. The obtained results for this system reveal that the final optimization point has an exergy efficiency of 39.023% and a total product cost rate of 1107$/h. This point is a trade-off between thermodynamic and thermoeconomic single-objective optimization cases. In addition, the biomass gasification-gas turbine cycle, organic Rankine cycles, and proton exchange membrane have the highest exergy destruction rates, respectively. Finally, it is shown that the liquid pressure ratio of the natural gas pump and inlet temperature of the steam turbine have the most important effects on the balance between the selected objective parameters.

“…Accordingly, the world's population lacking electricity access decreased from 1.2 billion in 2010 to 789 million in 2018 [2]. However, upholding this electrification rate will be challenging in the upcoming years due to the deficient distribution infrastructure and the difficulty of reaching isolated communities [3]. The implementation of decentralized polygeneration systems can be a suitable solution not only to address ever-increasing energy demands, but also to provide electricity to remote areas without requiring substantial investments in distribution infrastructures [3,4].…”

As far as water scarcity issue is concerned, integrating desalination technologies to conventional polygeneration systems can be considered for meeting freshwater demands, particularly in highly water-stressed countries.…”

Reliable production of freshwater and energy is vital for tackling two of the most critical issues the world is facing today: climate change and sustainable development. In this light, a comprehensive review is performed on the foremost renewable energy-driven polygeneration systems for freshwater production using thermal and membrane desalination. Thus, this review is designed to outline the latest developments on integrated polygeneration and desalination systems based on multi-stage flash (MSF), multi-effect distillation (MED), humidification-dehumidification (HDH), and reverse osmosis (RO) technologies. Special attention is paid to innovative approaches for modelling, design, simulation, and optimization to improve energy, exergy, and thermo-economic performance of decentralized polygeneration plants accounting for electricity, space heating and cooling, domestic hot water, and freshwater production, among others. Different integrated renewable energy-driven polygeneration and desalination systems are investigated, including those assisted by solar, biomass, geothermal, ocean, wind, and hybrid renewable energy sources. In addition, recent literature applying energy, exergy, exergoeconomic, and exergoenvironmental analysis is reviewed to establish a comparison between a range of integrated renewable-driven polygeneration and desalination systems.
