摘要
This research presents a novel mathematical framework for optimizing solar combined cycle power plants, with a particular emphasis on the exergy analysis of various superheating heat exchanger configurations used in thermal energy storage. The importance of phase change materials (PCMs) in improving the thermodynamic efficiency of solar combined cycle power plants is emphasized in this study. The investigation includes three configurations, two with a single PCM and one with two PCMs. The use of PCMs is intended to increase storage density, reduce volume, and maintain consistent temperatures, thereby favoring latent energy storage. The model developed evaluates exergy efficiency and output temperature profiles during the charging and discharging processes. The results show that the single PCM configuration has an impressive charging efficiency of 93.12 %, reaching an output temperature of 371 °C in 8 h. The two PCM configurations, on the other hand, achieve even higher efficiency at 94.89 % during charging, with an output temperature of 367 °C over a slightly longer 10-hour period. This comparison emphasizes the benefits of using two PCMs, demonstrating increased exergy efficiency and a marginal increase in output temperature over a single PCM setup. Furthermore, a comparison of the outcomes resulting from the use of a single type of PCM in exchangers reveals that the disparity in PCM melting temperatures causes only minor variations in the system's efficiency. The findings emphasize the significance of optimal PCM utilization for efficient solar energy retention, particularly during periods of low radiation. © 2024
