Development and Assessment of a Dual Source Integrated Energy System with Storage Options
In this study, a solar and natural gas-based dual-energy source power plant system is designed to investigate thermodynamically with energy and exergy approaches to provide multiple useful outputs, including electricity, heating and freshwater with heat storage options, and applied to a hospital building for needs. This presented system is not only for the locations, such as deserts where the weather is sunny and the air is dry all year round, but also it is suitable for other places where the sunshine duration is relatively more minor, and the air is moderately humid by means of a storage system. With this system, using natural gas at a relatively modest rate of 20%, the system is enabled to operate largely depending on solar energy. Thus, this renewable energy-based natural gas-supported system obtains higher green energy at a lower cost. Moreover, it intends to address the community's clean water requirement using the multi-effect desalination unit. Additionally, a molten salt thermal storage subsystem is employed to mitigate energy imbalances in the parabolic trough collector all day long. Furthermore, the necessary energy is supplied using a natural gas-powered boiler, especially in the evening and peak times in terms of energy demand. The system is unique in that it performs parametric studies on a real case scenario using binary energy sources. The energy and exergy efficiencies of the system are calculated as 56% and 22.35%, respectively
