# Integrated Systems of a Solar Thermal Energy Driven Power Plant
## 3 Proposed Methodology
### Proposed System
Two examples of EC cycles are the Rankine cycle and the Stirling cycle. More and more people are turning to solar gas turbines (SGTs) to produce power. Efficiency and power production improvement is achieved by combining solar energy with the Brayton cycle in this turbine. A gas turbine (GT) is an internal combustion engine (IC) traditionally using air as its operating fluid. In its most basic form, the process begins with introducing air into a compressor, which is pressurized before being directed into a combustion chamber. The next step is to mix the fuel and compressed air, and then the combustion chamber is used to burn the mixture. However, the expansion (exhaust) happens in the turbine part, which is how mechanical power is generated from the expanding air. The GT maintains the working fluid's gaseous phase throughout the cycle. A total thermal efficiency boost of around 60% is achieved by driving a steam turbine using the exhaust heat. Worries about global warming and energy insecurity have accelerated the use of renewable energy sources. The three main types of CCGT technology that may be employed are post-combustion, pre-combustion, and oxyfuel combustion capture. Carbon capture facilities developed for commercial use and their global capture capacity are shown graphically below. Currently, the oxyfuel combustion capture technique is not being used by any operational full-scale CCGT plant. There has to be some thought given to this. A \"pre-combustion carbon capture\" system removes carbon dioxide gas from biomass or fossil fuels before they are burned. The overall layout of its configuration is shown in Figure 3. Power plants that employ natural gas or gasification with coal, gas, or biomass make the most common use of it [31]. Partly, oxidation gasification is the first phase in a gasification power plant's standard pre-combustion carbon capture system. The result is syngas, or synthesis gas rich in hydrogen and carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide and steam react in a water gas shift reformer (WGS) to create CO\({}_{2}\) and H+. The waste stream at an industrial plant that focuses on desulfurization and carbon dioxide removal is where the reaction occurs. When the cyclone separation machine finishes cleaning the syngas, we will consider this step finished. Fuel cells, gas turbines, gas boilers, and other power-generating devices that discharge a tiny quantity of sulfur dioxide may use hydrogen petrol, which this carbon capture method produces. This process also uses hydrogen, which is essential for making hydrogen fuel. Because of this, the value of gasoline increases when carbon levels decrease. Figure 2: Gas cycle for Turbine system. CO\({}_{2}\) separation is typically performed in natural gas power plants after WGS operations and auto thermal reforming (steam reforming) are finished. Pre-combustion capture is a common term for streams produced by operations with greater pressures, carbon dioxide concentrations, and temperatures between 200 and 400 degrees Celsius. These streams are a result of the same processes that created them. Results from the catalyzed WGS process typically show a hydrogen content of 64-73 mole percent and a carbon dioxide content of 20-23 mole percent in the syngas stream. Compared to the post-combustion capture method, the thermodynamic driving force behind carbon dioxide adsorption is the high partial pressure of CO\({}_{2}\). This has decreased energy consumption for the carbon capture and compression operation. The majority of greenhouse gas emissions come from carbon dioxide. The removal and storage of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is known as carbon sequestration. In an effort to slow the rate of climate change, it is one strategy for lowering atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. Figure 4 is a schematic depicting a system of solar panels. One can see every component, from the charge controller and inverter to the batteries and the DC and AC load, in this photo. These are the tools that have been used during the trial.
