Although solar energy is one of the most abundantly available and inexhaustible forms clean renewable energy, its use suffers from economic barriers mainly linked to intermittence. This article aims at comparing a conventional reference system (national grid gas boiler) four different combined heating power systems, namely photovoltaic panels with solar-assisted heat pump, national thermal pane...

This study presents the energy, exergy, sustainability and exergoeconomic analysis of a grid-connected solar power plant with capacity 226.4 MWe single axis tracking system consisting monocrystalline bifacial panels manufactured half-cut technology. is located in Karapınar district Konya province Türkiye, between 37°45 37°47 north latitudes 33°33 33°35 east longitudes. Based on first second law...

Fuel allocation in a combined steam-injected gas turbine (STIG) power generation and multi-effect thermal vapor compression (METVC) desalination system is studied, using seven methods: (1) Products Energy Method, (2) Products Exergy Method, (3) Power-Generation-Favored Method, (4) Heat-Production-Favored Method, (5) Basic Exergetic Cost Theory, (6) Functional Approach and (7) Splitting Factor M...
