Abstract
The current literature on integrated energy systems for various applications is discussed and how energy systems are integrated for multigeneration purposes is explained. Three integrated energy systems, including renewable and non-renewable ones, are considered to enhance the analyses. A micro-gas turbine integrated system is selected as the non-renewable system while biomass and ocean thermal energy conversion based energy systems are considered as the renewable options. Exergy analysis is conducted to determine the irreversibilities in each component and the system performance. Furthermore, economic and environmental impact assessments of the systems are conducted, and the results are presented for each integrated system. The results show that the integrated energy systems have higher exergy efficiency compared to single generation unit and that the integration results in reduction of greenhouse gases emission. The performances of the three systems are compared, and the results show that the choice and benefits of integrated systems strongly depends on the priorities of the designers and engineers.
