Thermodynamic analysis of a tri-generation system driven by biomass direct chemical looping combustion process

Chemical looping process (CLP) is a promising technology for in-situ CO2 capture without energy penalty. Direct CLP has more compact structure, favorable economic competitiveness, and larger reduction of exergy loss compared to syngas CLP. In this work, novel biomass direct chemical combustion (CLC) driven tri-generation system the production cooling, heating, power proposed. The proposed contains CLC section as prime mover, two gas turbines an organic Rankine cycle generation, absorption chiller cooling production, heat exchangers generate heat. First, thorough thermodynamic analysis implemented assess efficiencies under evaluated design conditions, well identify distribution. Second, Sensitivity conducted investigate effects major operating parameters on performances. Third, performances are based system. Thermodynamic results show that high efficiency 90.92% 33.82%. largest takes place in air reactor, accounting 34.42% total loss, followed by fuel reactor chiller, which 30.09% 15.37%, respectively. Besides, better than tri-generation, whose 69% 23.4%,
