Study of different configurations in solar gas turbine cycles

The downward trend of fossil fuels and the need to replace them with new energy sources is one of the major concerns in the energy field. On the other hand, the increase in environmental pollutants has limited the use of fossil fuels. Therefore, new energy sources that are environmentally friendly and their consumption rates are equal to their production rates have attracted the attention of researchers. One of these endless sources is the solar thermal energy .In recent years, the use of solar energy in various forms and ways has attracted the attention of researchers. Meanwhile, solar turbine cycles have received much attention in recent years and their use has attracted the attention of many countries. In this paper, the performance of new configuration types available in solar turbine cycles is studied. These classifications include straight atmospheric and pressurized cycles. On the other hand, hybrid cycles based on solar turbines have also been studied. Studies show that the use of solar turbine cycles significantly reduces air pollution in addition to reducing fuel consumption.
