Abstract

This paper proposes a new type of cogeneration system coupled by Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC), Absorption Heat Pump (AHP), and Compression Heat Pump (CHP). The new system can meet the needs of different scenarios. Simulations were conducted to analyze the effect of different factors on the parameters and performance indexes of the new system and compared with the system of ORC, AHP, CHP. The results showed that the factors of flue gas temperature at evaporator1 outlet and CHP have the greatest effect on the parameters and performance indexes of the Organic Absorption-Compression Coupling Heat Power (OACCHP) system, and the effect of AHP on the parameters and performance indexes of the OACCHP system can be ignored. In the given range of flue gas temperature at evaporator1 outlet, the heat production of total and net work is reduced by 1.17% and 33.33%, respectively. In a given range of CHP evaporation temperature, the heat production of the total is reduced by 5.74%. In the given range of the outlet temperature of the gas cooler, the heat production of the total is increased by 10.58%. In a given working condition, compared with the single ORC system, the single CHP system, and the single AHP system, the thermal efficiency, COP, and energy earning rate of the OACCHP system are increased by up to 755.49%, 59.8%, 5.8%, respectively. Finally, the optimal operating conditions for different scenarios were determined.
