Performance enhancement and multi-objective optimization of a double-flash binary geothermal power plant
Initiating cost-effective and technological frameworks to exploit geothermal energy is a fundamental incentive for scientists and engineers; in this regard, flash-binary geothermal power plants are plausible for high-temperature geothermal resources. Stemming from an in-depth literature review, it i...

description |
Initiating cost-effective and technological frameworks to exploit geothermal energy is a fundamental incentive for scientists and engineers; in this regard, flash-binary geothermal power plants are plausible for high-temperature geothermal resources. Stemming from an in-depth literature review, it is conspicuous that the thermal and exergy losses of the expansion process are significant. To shed light on this matter, an ejector-expander is integrated into the conventional expansion valve of a double-flash binary geothermal power plant to enhance the plant performance. The feasibility of the contrived notion is scrutinized from energy, exergy, thermal, and cost balance standpoints and results converged in the increase in turbine output power, energy efficiency, and exergy efficiency of approximately 7.66%, 7.64%, and 7.69%, respectively. Among all components, the condenser constituted a 45.06% share of the overall exergy destruction, whilst the turbine had an exergy destruction ratio of 22.07%. An intensive parametric study is implemented that outlined that the turbine output power, energy efficiency, and exergy efficiency of the ejector-expander power system have a maximum in a specified pressure value of the first and second separator. Another merit was a marked decrease in the unit cost of power when ejector-expander is employed. |
