Abstract

Geothermal energy is a promising solution to provide multiple outputs at different temperatures and under different conditions. In this current work, a geothermally powered multigeneration cycle is planned, suggested and studied including a Kalina cycle, an organic Rankine cycle, a thermoelectric generators, a double effect absorption refrigeration system, a dryer, a domestic water heater, a multi-effect desalination processes, a greenhouse, and hydrogen production and storage units. The main objective of this study is to generate power, cooling, heating, hot water, drying, greenhouse heating, hydrogen, oxygen, and freshwater in an environmentally harmless approach. An elaborated thermodynamic analysis of the developed research is calculated by energy and exergy efficiency methods. Furthermore, the parametric modeling is employed to calculate the effect of significant variables on the examined study and subsystems' efficiency. Looking the analysis's findings reveal that the evaluated model's net power generation rate is approximately 298 kW. Additionally, the cooling and heating rates of this integrated combined plant are 1169 kW and 1783 kW, respectively. Moreover, the examined plant produces 0.000392 kg/s of hydrogen and 2.77 kg/s of freshwater. Finally, the examined cycle energy and exergy performance is computed as 0.4248 and 0.3826, respectively.
