Abstract: The Kalina cycle was proposed about three decades ago as an alternative to the steam Rankine cycle for recovering waste heat from the exhaust of a gas turbine. It uses a mixture of ammonia and water as the cycle working fluid. The presentation focuses on the thermoeconomic optimization of a high temperature Kalina cycle for concentrating solar power plants. The power cycle will be briefly explained, followed by the presentation of the thermoeconomic optimization methodology including the thermodynamic design, the part-load performance, and the economic analysis models. In the end, some key results and conclusions from the analysis will be presented Bio-sketch: A mechanical engineer by background, Anish Modi received his PhD from Technical University of Denmark and is currently employed as a Postdoc there. He has a master’s in sustainable energy systems from Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden with a thesis on the heat transfer modelling of thermocline thermal energy storage systems for concentrating solar power plants conducted at Polytechnic University of Catalonia, Spain. He received his bachelor’s degree from Malaviya National Institute of Technology, Jaipur with a thesis on solar photovoltaic refrigeration
systems.
