Abstract

Enhancing the stability and cost-effectiveness of gas turbine power plants while mitigating input costs, co-feed arrangements, and multi-heat recovery processes shows great promise. The present study introduces an innovative trigeneration application to energetically and economically modify the existing gas turbine cycle. This trigeneration system incorporates several components, namely a helium gas turbine power plant, a regenerative steam Rankine cycle, a domestic water heating unit, and a multi-effect desalination subsystem. The thermodynamic and economic factors were considered to assess the performance indexes. Furthermore, a thorough technical analysis was conducted on the thermodynamic and economic variables, considering the influence of five crucial decision-making factors. Also, the operation mode of the system was optimized through multi-objective optimization of power and heating load. The outcomes of this optimization process revealed that the optimal values for electric power and heating load are 507.34 kW and 261.94 kW, respectively. Additionally, the capacity of freshwater obtained of about 0.076 kg/s. The optimal solution also showcased an exergy efficiency of 44.93 % and a relatively short payback period of 4.68 years, indicating the system's cost-effectiveness and favorable performance.
