The use of solar energy in the natural gas combined cycle has been demonstrated in various countries for several years. There are
many parameters that governed the cost of combined solar integrated cycles that are initially the reintegration of available running
power plants. The main objective of the solar integrated power plant is to mitigate the emission and risk associated with the already
running power plants. The other important purpose of the integration of the solar energy system into already running power cycles is to
minimize the running cost in the existing equipment.
In this paper, thermodynamic (exergy and energy) analysis of Gas turbine-Organic Rankine combined cycle with the solar reheating
of organic fluid is done and the results are compared with the combined cycle with the solar reheating, with the simple combined cycle
and combined cycle with the regeneration of organic fluids. The thermal performance of the system is compared with different organic
fluids like R134a, R227ea, R245fa, R1234ze and R1234yf at different organic Rankine cycle maximum temperature and maximum
pressure. It was observed that R1234yf shows the maximum increase in second law efficiency by regeneration around 49.2%. 42.94%
using ORC and 48.2%, using ORC with Regeneration and solar Reheat system while R134a shows maximum organic Rankine cycle
efficiency of 48.3%. exergetic efficiency of the combined cycle with regeneration and reheating using R1234ze organic fluid. However
maximum first law efficiency comes out by using R134a fluid. For practical applications and various problems associated with
eco-friendly organic fluids (such as flammability and explosion risk should be considered), R134a can be used as a better option in
regeneration combined cycle plant with solar reheating.
