Implication

Randomized trial evaluates thermodynamic performance in solar-driven polygeneration systems, suggesting improved efficiency.

Key Points

  • This research aims to assess and enhance the performance of a solar-driven polygeneration system for electricity, freshwater, and salt production.
  • Modelled the system using Aspen Plus at an industrial scale.
  • Performed thermodynamic and exergoeconomic analyses alongside life cycle assessment and multi-objective optimization using NSGA-II, MOPSO, and SQP algorithms.
  • Investigated performance under optimized operating conditions.
  • Produced approximately 49.6 MW of electricity, 76224 m³/day of freshwater, and 117 ton/h of salt.
  • Reduced freshwater production cost from 1.42 to 1.28 $/m³ while maintaining positive net present value.
  • Showed improved resource recovery and reduced environmental impacts compared to conventional systems.
