Modified exergy and modified exergoeconomic analyses of a solar based biomass co-fired cycle with hydrogen production

A solar based biomass co-fired combined cycle with hydrogen production is proposed and assessed with conventional and modified thermodynamic and exergoeconomic analyses. The cycle uses biomass and solar energy as renewable energies along with the fossil fuel natural gas. Hydrogen is produced by the photovoltaic/thermal system and in one option is injected to the combustion chamber of combined cycle to reduce fossil fuel usage and CO2 emissions....
