Thermodynamic assessment of an integrated solar power tower and coal gasification system for multi-generation purposes

Assessment of an IGCC based trigeneration system for power, hydrogen and synthesis fuel production

“…They have also found out that the overall energy and exergy efficiencies of this system were 56.9% and 45.05%, respectively. Ozturk and Dincer [5] have analyzed energy and exergy of solar based multigeneration system with coal gasification. Their multi generation system contained six sub-systems.…”

“…Recently, multigeneration systems received intense interest [5]. These systems are important to increase the energy efficiency and sustainability.…”

Evaluation methods of solar contribution in solar aided coal-fired power generation system

“…Energy conservation is an important research area, a number of scholars have studied the quality of coal, hoping to reduce coal consumption [6]; many others want to achieve this target by integrating solar thermal energy into coal-fired power station [7]. At present, research on SACPGS mainly focuses on performance analysis, integrating methods, and simulation optimization of SACPGS.…”

Multi-objective optimization of a novel solar-based multigeneration energy system

“…The proposed multigeneration system included a heat recovery unit, an organic Rankine cycle, an ejector refrigeration cycle, a domestic water heater and a proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer, and the application was a two-story residential detached house in Brampton, Ontario, Canada. Ozturk and Dincer (2013) performed a thermodynamic assessment of an integrated solar power tower and coal gasification system for multigeneration, including a parametric study to determine the effect of design parameters on energy and exergy efficiencies of the system.…”
