This study investigates the optimal design and operation of a solar energy driven ORC system with a parabolic trough collector and a two-tank sensible thermal energy storage system. The energy storage system and the ORC system have been optimized simultaneously to achieve the best performance of the total system.
Recently, Eterafi et al. also investigated the solar driven ORC system with stable output. Domestic hot water production is considered alone with the ORC system for power generation. The prominent role of thermal energy storage system is also examined. The solar collector is parabolic dish concentrator (PDC) instead of PTC used in our study.
The ORC system driven by solar energy generates round-the-clock stable power output. The integrated ORC system is optimized based on a simulation-based optimization framework. Optimal design and control strategy are identified.
The system efficiency of the solar energy driven ORC system is maximized with the proposed optimal operation strategy. With the simulation-based optimization framework, the system efficiency of the recuperative ORC power plant with toluene as the working fluid is increased from 17.9% to 24.8% compared with a previous study in the literature.
An integrated model is developed in Matlab and Aspen HYSYS, which is a widely used process simulator, to obtain the optimal process design and control strategy of the solar energy driven ORC power plant. The thermal energy storage sub-system and the PTC sub-system are modeled in Matlab, while the ORC sub-system is simulated in Aspen HYSYS.
