Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Exergetic Assessment of an Solar Powered Stand-Alone System Using Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier for Energy Storage(Elsevier, 2023) Palmero-Marrero, Ana I.; Zairov, Rüstem; Borge-Diez, David; Çağlar, Başar; Açıkkalp, Emin; Altuntaş, ÖnderThe integration of energy storage technologies into renewable energy systems has gained increasing attention for continuous supply of the renewable-based enegy. Among different storage alternatives, the use of a Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC) has a significant potential as a reversible energy carrier for short and longterm energy storage. In this study, the technical and economic performance of an stand-alone renewable energy systems using a LOHC for energy storage have been evaluated by exergy-based methods in addition to simple energy and economic analysis. The analysis of the LOHC-free system was also included to determine the effect of LOHC on the system performance. The system containing phovoltaic (PV) panels, an electrolyzer, a micro gas turbine and hydrogenation/dehydrogenation LOHC units was designed to meet the power, heating and cooling requirement of a residential building. The system modelling and performance evaluation were made by using TRNSYS and EES softwares. Results show that the LOHC-containing system has higher energy and exergy efficiencies and exergoeconomic performance than the LOHC-free system while the latter is economically more feasible than the former due to its low capital investment cost.Article Citation - WoS: 15Citation - Scopus: 16Proposal of Novel Exergy-Based Sustainability Indices and Case Study for a Biomass Gasification Combine Cycle Integrated With Liquid Metal Magnetohydrodynamics(Elsevier, 2023) Canpolat Tosun, Demet; Açıkkalp, Emin; Çağlar, Başar; Altuntaş, Önder; Hepbaşlı, ArifExergy is considered a way to sustainability. Exergy-based analyses have been recently widely used for performance assessment and comparison purposes of energy systems from production to end-user while different sustainability related indices or indicators including exergetic concepts have been developed in the literature. In this regard, the present study proposed five different indices: (i) Exergetic Fuel Based Environmental Remediation Index (X), (ii) Exergetic Product Based Environmental Remediation Index (delta), (iii) Exergetic Fuel Based Total Environmental Remediation Index (beta), (iv) Exergetic Product Based Total Environmental Remediation Index (alpha), and (v) Improved Sustainability Index (ISI). These indices were applied to a novel Biomass-integrated Gasification Combine Cycle (BIGCC) integrated with Liquid Metal Magnetohydrodynamics (LMMHD). They allowed to perform a more complete environmental analysis by considering the exergetic cost of environmental remediation of the process. The average exergy efficiency values for the BIGCC, LMMHD and the overall system were determined as 0.491, 0.222 and 0.688 under daily ambient temperatures for a year and different air to fuel ratio (AFR) conditions, respectively. The average values for.X, beta, delta, alpha and ISI were 1.636, 2.389, 1.949, 2.848 and 0.513, respectively.Article Citation - WoS: 22Citation - Scopus: 22Multiparameter-Based Product, Energy and Exergy Optimizations for Biomass Gasification(Elsevier, 2021) Çağlar, Başar; Tavşancı, Duygu; Bıyık, EmrahThe thermodynamic modelling of biomass gasification was studied by using Gibbs free energy minimization approach. Different from the studies using the same approach, the simultaneous presence of all gasifying agents (air, H2O and CO2) was considered and a multiparameter optimization was applied to determine the synergetic effect of gasifying agents for hydrogen, syngas with a specific H2/CO ratio and methane production. The performance of gasification was assessed by using technical and environmental performance indicators such as product yields, cold gas efficiency, exergy efficiency, CO2 emission and the heat requirement of the gasifier. The results show that the simultaneous presence of gasifying agents does not create considerable changes in syngas yield, H2 yield, methane yield, CGE and exergy efficiency while it allows to tune the H2/CO ratio and the heat requirement of the gasifier. The highest syngas yield is observed at T > 1100 K and 1 bar and when SBR > 0.5 and/or CBR > 0.8 with the absence of air, at which CGE changes between 114% and 122% while exergy efficiency is between 77% and 86%. The results prove that CO2 offers several advantages as a gasifying agent and suggests that CO2 recycling from gasifier outlet is a useful option for the biomass gasification.
