Figure 8(b) discloses the exergy utilization of combined cycle in the novel polygeneration system.<br />

The energy donor includes the oxidation of unreacted gas and recovery gas (curve Aed1), the gas<br />

turbine (curve Aed2) and the heat recovery of gas in HRSG (curve Aed3). The energy acceptors are<br />

the preheating of fuel gas (curve Aea1), the preheating of air (curve Aea2), and the water heating in<br />

HRSG (from 30 to 535, curve Aea3).<br />

Comparing Figure 8(a) with Figure 8(b), the difference of energy level between energy donor and<br />

acceptors in the polygeneration is much smaller for the adoption of gas turbine and HRSG, and that<br />

resulted in sharp decrease of exergy destruction in the novel polygeneration system. And this<br />

example is exactly coincided with the general principle of system integration “Cascade utilization<br />

of chemical and physical energy”.<br />
