A novel configuration of hybrid wind/biomass energy driven power generation plant is developed and investigated, in which hydrogen is injected into reheat stage of a biomass-fed gas turbine for power generation enhancement and CO2emission reduction. To provide green hydrogen for this purpose, the wind energy is supposed to be employed for electricity production to run a water electrolyzer. Such a hybrid integration of biomass and wind energies will mitigate the biomass shortage and noncontinuous availability of wind energy. Thermodynamic models are implemented to assess feasibility of proposed hybrid plant based on first and second laws. In addition to thermodynamic investigation, economic and environmental evaluations are also carried out. After a parametric appraisal to determine the impact of design variables, single- and two-objective optimizations were conducted to minimize CO2emission index and LCOE. The optimization results revealed that, any change in design conditions for reducing the CO2emissionwill cause in increment of LCOE. It is found that, under final optimum point, developed hybrid power plant attains 0.601kg/kWhand 64.25$/MWh, CO2emission and LCOE, respectively, while the exergy efficiency is calculated to be 39.53%. Also, if the plant is optimized based on single objectives, the lowest values of 63.53$/kWhand 0.590kg/kWhwould be achieved for LCOEand CO2emission, respectively. In addition, the economic analysis in component level indicated that the wind turbine and electrolyzer units have the largest cost rates, respectively as 24.2% and 21.7% of the overall system cost rate. |
