INVESTIGATION OF DIFFERENT MODELS OF COMBINED PARALLEL FLASH BINARY CYCLES

The aim of this paper is a comparative study of the different geothermal power plant concepts, based on the energy and exergy analysis. The cycles studied in this paper are the combination of single and double flash power plants with two different ORC cycles as basic Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC), ORC with IHE, regenerative ORC and regenerative ORC with an IHE. The main gain due to using combined flash-binary power plants with various types of ORCs is to achieve optimum and efficient energy utilization for Sabalan geothermal power plants.
