The principal intention of this experimental work is to confer upon the exergy study of GSHP associated with horizontal earth heat exchanger for space heating. The exergy analysis recognizes the assessment of the tendency of various energy flows and quantifies the extensive impression of inefficiencies in the system and its components. Consequently, this study intends to provide the enlightenment for well interpretation of exergy concept for GSHP. This GSHP system is composed of heat pump cycle, earth heat exchanger cycle and fan coil cycle. All the required data were measured and recorded when the experimental set up run at steady state and average of the measured data were used for exergy investigation purpose. In this study the rate at which exergy destructed at all the subsystems and system has been estimated using the analytical expression. The overall rational exergetic efficiency of the GSHP system was evaluated for estimating its effectiveness. Hence, we draw the exergy flow diagram by using the various calculated results. The result shows that in the whole system the maximum exergy destruction rate component was compressor and minimum exergy flow component was earth heat exchanger. Consequently, compressor and earth heat exchanger need to be pay more attention.

In this study, the exergy which could be reflected on energetic and economic value was used to assess on heat tariff of district heating system instead of enthalpy. Exergy is difficult to apply directly to present heat charge system because of complex calculation. Therefore, the difference between supply and return temperature was converted to the exergy temperature difference for easily calculating the amount of heat. As a result of exergy analysis for a DH substation, the exergy temperature difference were not affected on surrounding temperature and pressure loss. Supply temperature, maximum difference between supply temperature and return temperature had a main effect on the exergy temperature difference. The new heat charge of a DH user was slightly reduced in winter compared with previous heat charge. Heat charges in other seasons were almost same. It is thought that heat tariff using exergy will be appropriate in terms of both DH supplier and consumer.

In this study, the exergy that can be reflected in the energetic and economic values was used to assess the heat tariff of a district heating (DH) system instead of the enthalpy. It is difficult to directly apply the exergy to the current heat-charge system because of the complicated calculation; therefore, the difference between the supply and return temperatures was converted to the exergy-temperature difference for the ease of the heat-amount calculation. As a result of the exergy analysis for a DH substation, the exergy-temperature difference did not affect the surrounding temperature and pressure loss. The supply temperature and the maximum difference between the supply temperature and the return temperature exerted the main effect on the exergy-temperature difference. The new heat charge of a DH user was slightly reduced in winter compared with the previous charge, but the heat charges in the other seasons are almost the same. It is concluded from the assessment of the heat tariff for which the exergy is used that this tariff is more feasible for both DH suppliers and consumers compared with enthalpy.

본 연구에서는 발전 시스템에서 이미 알려진 성능에 대한 엑서지 분석을 실시하고, 이전에 우리가 알고 있던 각 기기의 효율과 비교하여 최적의 시스템 운영이 가능하도록 제안을 하였다. 본 연구에 사용된 대상시스템은 500MW 석탄 화력발전소이다. 엑서지 분석결과 보일러의 효율은 67%로 가장 낮았고, 복수기의 효율은 99%로 가장 양호하게 나타났다. 100% 부하에서 보일러의 엑서지 손실은 32.95%, 고압터빈과 저압터빈의 손실은 8.31%, 8.12%로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 증명된 발전시스템의 저 효율 성능개선 대상에 대한 구체적 연구와 함께 현재 운전되고 있는 발전 시스템의 기기 운전조건에 대한 상세한 엑서지 분석이 지속된다면 노후 되거나 잘못 설치된 비효율적 부분을 줄이는데 도움이 되리라 예상한다.

In this paper, an analysis on exergy efficiency of high-efficiency R717 OTEC power system for the efficiency and pressure drop in main components were investigated theoretically in order to optimize the design for the operating parameters of this system. The operating parameters considered in this study include turbine and pump efficiency, and pressure drop in a condenser and evaporator, respectively. As the turbine efficiency of R717 OTEC power system increases, the exergy efficiency of this system increases. But pressure drop in the evaporator of R717 OTEC power system increases, the exergy efficiency of this system decreases, respectively. And, in case of exergy efficiency of this OTEC system, the turbine efficiency and pressure drop in a condenser on R717 OTEC power system is the largest and the lowest among operation parameters, respectively.

열효율과 비동력을 대폭 향상시킬 수 있는 잠재성을 가진 증기분사 재생 가스터빈 시스템에 대해 엑서지 해석을 수행하였다. 열역학 제2법칙을 근거로 한 해석 모델을 이용하여 압력비, 증기분사율, 주위 온도, 터빈입구온도 등 주요 설계변수들의 변화에 따라 엑서지 효율, 열교환기의 엑서지 회수율, 엑서지 파괴율 및 손실률 등 시스템의 성능과 최대 엑서지 효율에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 계산 결과 재생 증기분사 가스터빈 시스템은 시스템의 엑서지 효율을 대폭 증대시키고 비가역성을 감소시킨다는 사실을 확인하였다.

In this paper, entransy analysis is carried out for combined heat and power (CHP) generation system driven by low-grade heat source compared with energy and exergy analyses. The system consists of a regenerative organic rankine cycle (ORC) and an additional process heater in a series circuit. Special attention is paid to the effects of the turbine inlet pressure, source temperature, and the working fluid on the thermodynamic performance of the system. Results showed that the work efficiency of entransy is higher than that of energy but lower than that of exergy, wheress the process heat efficiency of entransy is lower than that of energy but higher than that of exergy. Entrance analysis showed the potential to complement the exergy analysis in the optimal design of the energy system.

국내 천연가스 공급계통에 있어서 냉열 에너지의 동력 회수에 관한 엑서지 해석 방법을 개발하므로, 에너지 시스템의 유효이용 방안 모색과 함께 엑서지 해석의 효용성을 증명한다. 현재 운영 중인 (1) 가열기에 의한 가열-PVC 감압 공급 시스템, (2) 감압과정에 팽창기를 도입하는 가열-팽창일-PVC 감압 공급 시스템, (3) 가열기 없이 팽창기를 도입한 팽창기-PVC 감압의 경우에 대해 엑서지 해석을 수행한다. 시뮬레이션은 NG 공급 시스템에 팽창기를 도입을 모델링하고, 유입 NG의 압력과 온도, 출구 NG의 압력과 온도에 대해 이루어 졌다. 팽창기로부터 얻을 수 있는 전력생산량은 팽창기 입출구의 NG 압력비가 클수록 많아진다. 그러나 압력비가 커면 온도의 하강이 심해져, 팽창기 입구에서의 가스 가열이 필요하며 이에 따른 연료소비량도 압력비 증가와 함께 상승한다. 엑서지 해석은 시스템 내 에너지 손실 위치와 양을 알 수 있다. 해석결과 가열-PVC 감압의 공급 시스템에서 PCV에 의해 소멸되는 엑서지가 가장 높았으며, 이 소멸 엑서지는 팽창기 설치를 통해 동력을 회수하므로 줄일 수 있다. 팽창기 입구에서 NG의 온도 증가는 엑서지 회수율을 향상시킬 수 있지만, NG의 열손실로 인해 팽창기의 기계 엑서지 효율은 감소한다. 이들 결과로 부터 엑서지 해석의 효용성을 알 수 있다.

In this study, the on-site hydrogen production process for refueling stations that were not energy-optimized was improved through exergy analysis and heat exchange network synthesis. Furthermore, the process was scaled up from 30 Nm3/h to 150 Nm3/h to improve hydrogen production capacity. Exergy analysis results show that exergy destruction in the SMR reactor and the heat exchanger accounts for 58.1 and 19.8%, respectively. Thus, the process is improved by modifying the heat exchange network to reduce the exergy loss in these units. As a result of the process simulation analysis, thermal and exergy efficiency is improved from 75.7 to 78.6% and 68.1 to 70.4%, respectively. In conclusion, it is expected to improve the process efficiency when installing on-site hydrogen refueling stations.
