Abstract

An integrated renewable geothermal-driven multigeneration system is demonstrated in the present evaluation, consisting of a double-flash geothermal unit, a modified dual-pressure organic Rankine cycle, a Proton exchange membrane electrolyzer, and a Claude Hydrogen liquefication subsystem. The proposed system is examined from various standpoints, and the performance of the system is quantified through the output parameters. Besides, a case study is performed to evaluate the operation of the system in a specified state. Moreover, a sensitivity analysis is conducted to follow the behavior of the system under different conditions. Furthermore, a multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm is employed to define the optimum solutions. The results of the study bring out a total generated cooling load of 2.27 MW, a net output power of 10.48 MW, and a liquefied Hydrogen rate of 37.83 kg/h. Also, exergetic efficiency and exergy destruction rate values of 55.89 % and 9.39 MW are obtained, respectively. The exergoeconomic and exergoenvironmental outputs are discussed through a total cost rate of 482.62 $/h, a payback period of 3.27 years, and a product exergy-related environmental impact rate of 9.84 Pts/h.
