Abstract
In this study, sawdust from a paper factory in north Iran was selected as the biomass resource to supply some of this region's electricity, cooling, and heating demand. Accordingly, a steam Rankine cycle (SRC) based tri-generation system is designed, and exergy analysis is conducted. According to the modeled cycle, the generating power of the process was 41,103 kW. The hybrid system could also provide a heating load of nearly 111,000 kW, and the cooling load was 1100 kW. The sensitivity analysis has been conducted based on the effects of design parameters on the system's exergy destruction and efficiency.
