【 摘 要 】

Hybrid solar and geothermal utilisation is a promising option for effective exploitation of renewable energy sources. Concentrated solar power (CSP) systems with geothermal preheating are acknowledged as an attractive solution, with supercritical CO2 (SCO2) cycle systems adopted for power generation thanks to the favourable properties offered by CO2 as a working fluid. In order to further improve the overall performance of such systems, organic Rankine cycle (ORC) systems can be added as bottoming cycles to recover the heat rejected from the topping SCO2 cycle system and also to utilise surplus geothermal heat available after the brine is used for preheating in the SCO2 system. This paper proposes four configurations of combined SCO2-ORC system for hybrid solar and geothermal power generation and performs detailed thermodynamic and economic assessments based on actual conditions in Seville, Spain. The results reveal that combined systems in which the geothermal-brine stream is split into two parallel flows and utilised separately by the topping SCO2 cycle and bottoming ORC systems are preferable. A split geothermal-stream combined system with the ORC working fluid first utilising geothermal heat followed in series by heat from the topping SCO2 cycle system delivers a net power output of 2940 kW, which is the maximum among all the proposed configurations and is 45% higher than that of a standalone SCO2 plant. A similar combined system with a reversed ORC flow direction such that the organic fluid is preheated first by utilising heat from the SCO2 cycle system and then by geothermal heat has a specific cost corresponding to the maximum net power output of 2880 $/kW, which is the lowest among all the configurations and is 22% lower than that of the standalone SCO2 plant. Annual performance evaluation shows that the combined systems can achieve significant improvements, ranging from 22% to 45%, over the total electricity generation of the standalone SCO2 plant, which demonstrates the significant potential of deploying such novel and promising combined systems for hybrid solar and geothermal power generation.
