Abstract
The biomass-based systems have considerable feasibility to design a co-generation with different subsystems. This paper presents a novel biomass-based gas turbine with a modified Kalina cycle, supercritical-CO2 cycle, and LNG regasifying subsystems. A turbine is installed in the LNG regasifying subsystems to produce more power. Energy, advanced exergy, including thermal and mechanical exergies, and economic analyses are applied to assess the system's performance. Three double-objective and two triple-objective optimizations are carried out to obtain the system's operation mode at the optimum state. The results reveal that the combustion chamber and supercritical-CO2 cycle's condenser have the highest exergy destruction. Also, the compressors and turbines have the main portion of the investment cost rate of about 79.91%. The design system provides 7560 kW net power, 41.75% exergy efficiency, and 6.2 years payback period. Regarding the parametric study, the system's performance indexes are mainly affected by the air compressor's pressure ratio. Furthermore, considering the net power-sum unit cost of production as the optimization goal represents the best performance of 7830 kW net power, 42.97% exergy efficiency, and 7.262 $/GJ sum unit cost of products.
