Exergy and Energy Analysis of a Multiple Energy Production System Based on Solar and Wind Energy to Produce Clean Electricity and Fresh Water

In the present study, an energy production system using two types of renewable solar and wind energy with climatic conditions and close to areas with high potential for the system under study, with suitable conditions in terms of wind speed and solar radiation as energy sources, We act. To use the heat from the solar system with a parabolic-linear collector, a steam cycle is designed to which heat is transferred through an evaporator and generated electrical energy by a steam turbine. The heat remaining after the evaporator was used to generate a single-effect absorption refrigeration system to generate a cooling load. The main components of the system consist of an organic Rankine cycle, steam Rankine cycle, thermoelectric, absorption refrigeration system, reverse osmosis, wind turbine and a parabolic-linear solar collector. EES software has been used as an engineering tool to model the system and obtain thermodynamic results. The results showed that due to the increase in solar radiation intensity and wind energy on the total exergy, the freshwater production output of the multiple production system is effective and increases the system output. According to the results, solar energy with the central receiver has the highest amount of exergy destruction. Also, the results of exergy degradation showed that the solar system with 60% and wind turbine with 17% have the highest amount of exergy degradation in the system components.
