Abstract

The correct management of renewable polygeneration systems is a highly effective approach that can not only help expand renewable energy systems but also ensure sustainable production. In the present work, a new procedure for designing renewable polygeneration systems is introduced. In this procedure, the management of polygeneration systems is discussed from various aspects, including climatic change, techno-economic and environmental conditions, layout design, ecological sustainability, and the sociological approach to polygeneration systems in a practical form. As a case study, an innovative biomass-solar-wind polygeneration system to produce power, ammonia, and freshwater for Ahvaz in Iran was designed and evaluated according to the developed procedure. The integration of multi-effect distillation and humidification-dehumidification desalination has been employed for freshwater production. For ammonia production, syngas produced in the gasification unit and nitrogen obtained from the air separation unit were utilized. Power production has been achieved using a combination of the hydrogen-ammonia Brayton cycle, the supercritical carbon dioxide cycle, and the organic Rankine cycle. The designed system was evaluated using energy, exergy, exergoeconomic, exergoenvironmental, emergoeconomic, emergoenvironmental, carbon footprint, and water footprint analyses. The layout design of the proposed system and the sociological study of the system from a systemic approach have enhanced the visibility of its application. Additionally, the investigation of biomass fuel variations and combinations according to climate, along with optimization and dynamic analyses, are key measures that allow for a more comprehensive evaluation of the system from various management perspectives. The results show that the proposed system is capable of producing 523.34 m3/day freshwater, 10.1 MW of power, and storing 17.75 ton/day of ammonia in optimal state. The energy and exergy efficiency of the polygeneration system in the optimal state is 29.97% and 13.12%. The total cost rate and total environmental impact rate of the entire system in this case are equal to 0.48 $/s and 19.79 mPts/s, respectively. Meanwhile, the defined renewable system has an ecological sustainability index of 1.76.
