Abstract

The energy consumption has gradually increased in the current context. Fossil fuels are the primary source of energy for the world’s population. Furthermore, energy derived from fossil fuels has significant disadvantages, including increased pollution and global warming. Solar energy is the fastest-growing alternative to fossil fuels among the various energy options. As a result, the focus of the present work is on the thermo-economic analysis of a hybrid solar-assisted intercooled gas turbine (GT) and organic Rankine cycle (ORC) for waste heat recovery and power production at near-zero-emissions. The work outcome and maximum efficiency of the hybrid arrangement are 1342.12 kW and 71.12% respectively at the cycle pressure ratio of 8, and 443 K entry point turbine temperature. The economic model of the integrated system depicts that the unit power production cost for the combined system has been evaluated as 1932 e per kW.
