Due to increasing energetic, environmental and economic concerns, there is a strong need to develop sustainable energy solutions to address better design and analysis, efficiency, cost effectiveness, resources use, environment and energy security. This research aims to achieve these targets and develop novel integrated solar energy-based systems with novel heat storage options for multigeneration purposes. The heat storage sub-systems are utilized to offset the mismatch between demand and supply and provide more sustainable systems. The research consists of five main parts. The first part focuses on the conceptual development and design of novel integrated multigeneration systems using diverse energy sources and their hybridization with solar energy. The systems provides various valuable outputs, e.g., electricity, space heating, water heating, steam, water cooling, air conditioning, hydrogen, desalination (fresh water and salt) and synthetic fuels (ammonia, methanol, ethanol, etc.). Another important aspect is the novel heat storage options as to be incorporated into the integrated multigeneration systems to offset the mismatch between demand and supply where renewable energy sources, such as solar energy, are used. The second part deals with the modeling and analyses of processes that can be encountered in multigeneration systems, covering micro- and macro-level and multi-dimensional modeling; and thermodynamic (energetically and exergetically), fluid flow, chemical, thermochemical, catalytic and non-catalytic, electrochemical, photochemical, heat and mass transfer analyses (in both steady and unsteady forms depending on the process). The third part involves lab-scale experiments and proof of concept testing on various designs of proposed systems (such as heat engine systems) and their thermal components. Also, key processes of these multigeneration systems are studied in more detail through proof of concept testing. The fourth part deals with multi-objective optimization and performance assessment (through energy and exergy efficiencies) of the multigeneration systems developed and tested. This is done based on multi-objective criteria including minimization of exergy destructions, costs and environmental impact, and increasing efficiency and sustainability, etc. Economic, environmental, ecological and sustainability performances are studied through cost parameters, impact criteria and life cycle analyses. The last part deals with developing and studying the options to improve the systems and their components for better performance. Reducing system irreversibilities and losses, conducting thermal management, achieving heat recovery and increasing the number of useful outputs are three main tasks to accomplish. In this regard, parametric studies are conducted to develop these further for specific applications and finalize the systems.

由于对能源、环境和经济的关注日益增加，迫切需要开发可持续能源解决方案，以解决更好的设计和分析、效率、成本效益、资源利用、环境和能源安全问题。这项研究旨在实现这些目标，并开发基于太阳能的新型集成系统，该系统具有用于多发电目的的新型蓄热选项。储热子系统被用来抵消需求和供应之间的不匹配，并提供更可持续的系统。本研究由五个主要部分组成。第一部分侧重于利用多种能源的新型集成多联产系统的概念开发和设计，以及它们与太阳能的混合。这些系统提供各种有价值的产出，例如电力、空间供暖、水加热、蒸汽、水冷却、空调、氢气、海水淡化(淡水和盐)和合成燃料(氨、甲醇、乙醇等)。另一个重要方面是，在使用太阳能等可再生能源的情况下，将纳入综合多发电系统的新型储热选择，以抵消需求和供应之间的不匹配。第二部分涉及多联产系统中可能遇到的过程的建模和分析，包括微观和宏观一级和多维建模；热力学(能量和能量)、流体流动、化学、热化学、催化和非催化、电化学、光化学、热和传质分析(根据过程的不同，以稳态和非稳态形式)。第三部分涉及对拟议系统(如热机系统)及其热部件的各种设计进行实验室规模的实验和概念验证测试。同时，通过概念验证测试，对这些多代系统的关键流程进行了较为详细的研究。第四部分涉及开发和测试的多发电系统的多目标优化和性能评估(通过能效和火用效率)。这是基于多目标准则，包括最小化(火用)破坏、成本和环境影响、提高效率和可持续性等。通过成本参数、影响准则和生命周期分析来研究经济、环境、生态和可持续性能。最后一部分涉及开发和研究改进系统及其组件以获得更好性能的选项。减少系统不可逆性和损失、进行热管理、实现热回收和增加有用输出的数量是要完成的三项主要任务。在这方面，进行了参数研究，以进一步为具体应用开发这些系统，并最终确定这些系统。
