In this research, a multigeneration system was designed and evaluated, utilizing solar and geothermal energy to generate electricity, fresh water, hydrogen, and oxygen. The system's performance was assessed from energy, exergy, and economic perspectives. The setup involves a solar tower contributing energy to the gas cycle and a geothermal well supplying preheated water for the steam cycle. The system employs a molten salt cycle to capture heat from the solar receiver, transferring it to the air cycle. The remaining energy requirement is met by the Air Brayton cycle, which combines methane and hydrogen as fuels within the combustion chamber. Additionally, a steam cycle is integrated to...
