Abstract

This study aims to develop and assess a new multigeneration system where nuclear heat is utilized as the energy source. The multigeneration system is further designed to generate power, cooling, freshwater and hydrogen. In the present multigeneration system, five main subsystems, including high-temperature gas-cooled pebble bed nuclear reactors, a Rankine cycle, a cobalt-chlorine thermochemical cycle, a multi-effect desalination system and an ammonia-water absorption refrigeration system are integrated for synchronized operation. The analyses of the present system are carried out with the approaches of energy and exergy. This integrated system uses a total of 1000 MW thermal energy that is obtained from four units of high-temperature gas-cooled pebble bed nuclear reactor. Using all the thermal energy that comes from the nuclear reactors, a total of 346.99 MW of electricity, a total of 1.59 MW of cooling, a total of 384.67 kg/s of freshwater, and a total of 0.25 kg/s of hydrogen are produced. The energetic and exergetic performance coefficients of the ammonia-water absorption refrigeration system are 0.74 and 0.83, respectively. While the energy efficiency for the overall system is calculated as 37.83%, the exergy efficiency is found to be higher as 46.32% with the multiple useful outputs which help exergetically improve the overall system.
