Modeling And Numerical Simulation Of Solar Hybrid Power Plant

The aim of this paper is to review and evaluate the performances of a solar tower gas turbine central with a capacity of 11.5 MWe, then we assess the potential to improve the capacity of the installation by adding a combined steam cycle with electrical production equal to 3.5.The numerical study of the installation will be done by calculating the solar fields’ effectiveness, and then we simulate the different components of the installation by the TRNSYS 16 software. The main objective of the study is to give a thermodynamic and economic analysis, and assess the feasibility of the installation for the climatic conditions in Béchar area, located in the south of Algeria.
