Abstract

In the pursuit of enhancing both sustainability and energy density in low-temperature, renewable energy-based cycles, the integration of high-temperature renewable streams is considered a key objective in multigenerational scenarios that focus on renewable energy. This integration is recognized for its ability to reduce irreversibility and facilitate the development of eco-friendly designs. Consequently, the development, analysis, and optimization of an innovative multigenerational system, which utilizes a combination of biomass feedstock and geothermal energy resources, are the aims of this study. In this system, the performance of a geothermal-driven subsystem is significantly enhanced by a biomass-fueled subsystem, contributing to a more efficient overall system. This enhancement involves the integration of biomass digestion with a supercritical CO2 process. The energetic flue gas generated in this process is then utilized to enhance the enthalpy level of geothermal water through a dual-flash process. This process includes an advanced Kalina cycle, enabling combined cooling, heating, and power generation. The feasibility of this structure is examined through a comprehensive analysis that encompasses thermodynamic and economic considerations. The performance optimization is targeted using the Multi-Objective Grey Wolf Optimization technique, and within this framework, two multi-criteria optimization scenarios are defined based on power and heat output, exergy efficiency, and the system's profitability. Furthermore, a detailed sensitivity analysis is conducted, where the impact of variations in five key decision parameters is evaluated. It is indicated by the results that 500.8 kW of power, 900.2 kW of heating, and 4.931 kW of cooling can be provided by the system, which also achieves an exergetic efficiency of 23.08 % and a payback period of 6.87 years.
