Popis: | This research evaluates the integration of solar-assisted post-combustion carbon capture into an experimental cogeneration system. A cogeneration system modelled in Thermoflex 25® that includes a 200 kW Capstone microturbine coupled with a thermal oil recovery system was installed at the National Institute of Electricity and Clean Energies (INEEL). Three optimized systems were considered for the economic analysis, namely: a microturbine cogeneration system (COGEN), a microturbine cogeneration system with post-combustion carbon capture plant (COGEN-CCS) and a microturbine cogeneration system with solar-assisted post-combustion carbon capture (COGEN-CCS + SOLAR). The cogeneration system was modelled using Natural Gas (NG) as fuel, applying characteristics typical of Mexico, to obtain the composition of exhaust gas (EG), and thus simulate the CO2 capture system in Aspen Hysys V8.6® using monoethanolamine (MEA) as solvent. Results show that the implementation of CCS results in a sizeable increase in the Levelized Cost Of Electricity (LCOE) (approximately 86%) with near-zero emissions and without the possibility of supplying energy to the process. In addition COGEN-CCS + SOLAR improves overall system performance. CO2 emissions per kilowatt increased by 0.2% with regard to COGEN-CCS, while the LCOE increased by 230% compared to the COGEN case, with near-zero emissions. The use of solar energy would help increase the cogeneration efficiency when coupled with CO2 capture. |
