This study analyzes environmental, energy, and economical benefits of a ground source heat pump, coupled poly-generation system by incorporating exergy into the energy efficiency analysis. Two additional terms, namely the rational exergy efficiency and the coefficient of performance were introduced to the primary energy savings equation in the European Union Directive 2004/8/EC. Based on the new equation, an optimization algorithm was developed, which can quantify the environmental, energy and economy benefits of any poly-generation system in a broader extent and scope. This algorithm was used to investigate the factors affecting the optimum split of the power generated by a poly-generation system between the heat pump and the customer. A base system was analyzed, which consists of a ground-source heat pump (GSHP) and a combined heat and power (CHP) system. Results show that any increase in the split in favor of the heat pump boosts the primary energy savings potential and thus CO2 emissions reducing potential while the pay-back period of the system is reduced. When all the constraints, including electricity and fuel costs in the energy market are taken into account, a one-to-three split seems to be optimal for many practical applications. It is concluded that benefits of CHP may be enhanced by GSHP coupling pending a careful exergy balance analysis between the resource supply and the application demand. This paper provides the fundamentals of the algorithm and discusses that a win-win-win situation among the environment, energy, and economy is feasible, most importantly, from the global warming perspective.

Modeling and computational simulation of adsorption based chemical heat pumps Yurtsever, Ahmet Onur; Karakaş, Gürkan; Uludağ, Yusuf (2013-01-10) In this study a methodology is developed for the design of a packed bed reactor to be used in a Chemical Heat Pump (CHP). Adsorption and desorption of ethanol on active carbon packing in the reactor are investigated. Depending on the cycle, i.e. adsorption or desorption, cooling or heating of the reactor material is modeled through transient energy equation. The parameters associated with the vapor-carbon adsorption kinetics are experimentally determined. Then spatial distribution of temperature and adsorbe...
Proposal of a Novel Gravity-Fed, Particle-Filled Solar Receiver JOHNSON, Evan; Baker, Derek Keıth; Tarı, İlker (2016-10-14) Solar Thermal Electricity power plants utilizing solid particles as heat transfer and storage media have been proposed by several research groups, with studies citing benefits of increased thermal efficiency and lower cost. Several types of solid particle receivers have been proposed, with leading designs consisting of particles falling or suspended in air. A new solid particle receiver is proposed here, consisting of a receiver fully packed with particles flowing downward with gravity. Particle flow rate i...
Simulation and control strategy adaptation of a parabolic trough collector integrated thermal system for industrial processes Pınarlı, Deniz; Bayer, Özgür; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2022-1-11) In this study, integration of solar heat to a milk pasteurization process is addressed. A single tank system with thermal energy storage (TES) is simulated dynamically by connecting the models of individual components to each other, using a simulation tool coded in Visual Basic. The parabolic trough collector (PTC) model is developed such that the time evolution of temperature distribution along a series of collectors can be observed. Lumped approach is employed in the TES unit model in which the heat...
Pseudo-steady state inflow performance relationship of reservoirs undergoing multiphase flow and different wellbore conditions Al-Rbeawi, Salam (Elsevier BV, 2019-08-01) This paper introduces an integrated approach for the inflow performance relationship of reservoirs that undergo multiphase flow conditions and drained by vertical wells with different wellbore conditions. The main objective is eliminating uncertainties that govern predicting reservoir performance by assuming single phase flow in the porous media. The proposed approach includes developing several models for multiphase flow conditions using PVT data and relative permeability curves. These models are assembled...
Numerical methodology for feasibility analysis of ground source heat pumps Gamage, Kumudu Janani; Uzgören, Eray; Sustainable Environment and Energy Systems (2014-8) Ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems provide an alternative energy source for residential and commercial space heating and cooling applications by utilizing the favorable temperature profile at a certain depth under the ground surface. GSHP’s aftereffects on the ground temperature profile need to be considered for estimating the economical breakeven point. The present study develops a new semi-analytical model to analyze the short term response of the ground heat exchangers by accounting the depth depende...
