    Advanced thermodynamic cycles for finite heat sources: proposals for closed and open heat sources applications
    (Elsevier, 2020) Sánchez, Consuelo; Rovira de Antonio, Antonio José; Muñoz Domínguez, Marta; Barbero Fresno, Rubén
    This paper analyses two non-conventional thermodynamic cycles designed to work with finite heat sources, which are suitable for maximum temperatures of about 400 °C. The Hybrid Rankine-Brayton (HRB) cycle fits well to closed heat sources and, in the paper, it is analysed considering its exergy efficiency and some requirements for the maximum and minimum temperature of the heat transfer fluid that feeds the cycle, obtaining promising results. The other one is a new proposal called Recuperated and Double Expanded (RDE) cycle, aimed to translate the good features of HRB from closed heat sources to open ones, where the performance of HRB is limited. Both cycles are compared to some reference ones. Results show that the HRB cycle is a good candidate for finite closed heat sources, particularly with maximum temperature around 400 °C and with temperature changes of the heat transfer fluid from 100 °C to 150 °C. The RDE cycle exhibits good performance for finite open heat sources with maximum temperatures between 200 °C and 400 °C, and it behaves similarly to tri-lateral cycles.

    Towards high solar contribution in hybrid CSP-combined cycle gas turbine plants
    (Hindawi, 2023) Ortega, Guillermo; Rovira de Antonio, Antonio José; Barbero Fresno, Rubén; Subires Tejedor, Antonio Jesús; Muñoz Domínguez, Marta
    This paper proposes and analyses several configurations for hybridising concentrating solar power (CSP) plants with combined cycle gas turbines (CCGT). The objective is to increase the solar contribution to a large extent, much higher than those obtained in integrated solar combined cycles but maintaining synergies, which are usually lost when increasing the solar share. For that, two thermal energy management systems are introduced at different temperature levels. First, a configuration with only the low-temperature system is proposed. Then, an enhanced configuration with the low- and high-temperature systems is conceived. These configurations are compared to reference CSP and CCGT state-of-the-art plants. The analyses include different strategies of operation and two sizes for the thermal energy storage system. The results show that the first proposed configuration introduces some synergies but cannot improve the performance of the reference CSP and CCGT working separately, due to an issue with the solar dumping on days with high solar irradiation. The enhanced configuration overcomes this problem and maintains the synergies, leading to an improvement from both the thermodynamic and economic points of view, increasing the solar contribution and decreasing the levelized cost of energy over the reference plants.

    Comparison of Different Technologies for Integrated Solar Combined Cycles: Analysis of Concentrating Technology and Solar Integration
    (MDPI, 2018-04-25) Sánchez, Consuelo; Abbas, Rubén; Muñoz Antón, Javier; Ortega, Guillermo; Rovira de Antonio, Antonio José; Valdés Fernández, Manuel Tomás; Barbero Fresno, Rubén; Montes Pita, María José; Muñoz Domínguez, Marta; Varela Díez, Fernando
    This paper compares the annual performance of Integrated Solar Combined Cycles (ISCCs) using different solar concentration technologies: parabolic trough collectors (PTC), linear Fresnel reflectors (LFR) and central tower receiver (CT). Each solar technology (i.e. PTC, LFR and CT) is proposed to integrate solar energy into the combined cycle in two different ways. The first one is based on the use of solar energy to evaporate water of the steam cycle by means of direct steam generation (DSG), increasing the steam production of the high pressure level of the steam generator. The other one is based on the use of solar energy to preheat the pressurized air at the exit of the gas turbine compressor before it is introduced in the combustion chamber, reducing the fuel consumption. Results show that ISCC with DSG increases the yearly production while solar air heating reduces it due to the incremental pressure drop. However, air heating allows significantly higher solar-to-electricity efficiencies and lower heat rates. Regarding the solar technologies, PTC provides the best thermal results.
