Abstract

Depending on the application and demands, different products can be generated utilizing multigeneration systems. To drive such systems, solar energy can be used as a primary energy source or in hybridization with other renewable or nonrenewable energy sources. Solar driven multigeneration systems are appealing due to the broad availability of solar energy and related technologies. The objective of this study is to review, categorize and discuss different configurations, benefits, potentials, challenges, future research directions and market perspectives of solar energy-driven multigeneration systems, comprehensively. This study also reviews how solar energy systems can be used to hybridize systems for multigeneration purposes. Regardless of using fossil fuel backup sources, these systems are classified as (1) solar only-driven and (2) hybrid solar-driven, in which solar energy is used together with other renewable sources. Reviewing the literature demonstrates numerous ways to build solar energy-driven multigeneration systems by coupling a variety of different cycles and devices. Such systems offer multiple benefits such as enhancing the efficiency, reducing capital and operating costs and carbon dioxide emission. Hybridizing solar with other renewable energies enables continuous operation and dispatchability management. This review shows that for configuration selection and design, different thermodynamics, economic and environmental aspects should be considered. To advance the solar driven multigeneration systems development, further multidisciplinary research on different aspects of such systems is necessary. Particularly, investigations should focus on building different prototypes and on conducting experimental assessments. Also, new incentives and long-term purchase agreements for the products must be established.
